We have concluded our gospel trip with many praises to the Lord with all the saints here in Novato and Santa Rosa. During the past two weeks, 3,556 gospel tracts and BfA free offers were passed out, 417 RcV Bibles were distributed, 510 people talked with us, 46 prayed and received the Lord, 38 appointments/Bible studies were held on campus and 47 homes were visited by the saints. As of today, we have 70 students from Sonoma State University (SSU) on the Bible club’s email list, and even though we didn’t have capacity to labor on the Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC), the Lord still brought 16 SRJC student contacts through door-knocking. Among all the student contacts, we identified 20 students from SSU and about 12 students from SRJC as the most positive contacts to labor on in the future. Ten students from SSU attended the college meeting on Friday nights and are connected with the saints. Three new ones attended the Lord’s table meeting on 2/8/2015, one of them attended for the second time. Two of these new ones spent the Lord’s day afternoon with the saints and had dinner with us in a saint’s home.

We also have about 12 homes in the community open for us to come back to have Bible studies at their place, and more than 40 homes are open to revisit/follow-up. The harvest is great but the workers few. But all of us are so much encouraged and shepherded by the saints here, and our hearts are so touched by how they just pour out everything to the Lord. May the Lord richly bless the Santa Rosa/Novato area with many remaining fruit and gain the brightly shining lampstands!

Prayer burdens:

• Campus: Please pray for 20 core SSU student contacts and the core SRJC student contacts, that they would grow in life, enjoy and remain in the church life, and be normal functioning members of the Body of Christ. May the Lord gain many more students through the testimony and witness of these students. Please pray for the continuation of the Bible studies, study nights, and college meetings at SSU, and future opportunities to blend with Berkeley and San Francisco. May the Lord capture many young hearts for His building.
• Community: Please pray for the revisiting of the warm doors we gained by door-knocking. May the Lord guide the saints in spending their time and energy and lead the saints to visit the genuine seekers. May the Lord gain some open homes through the saints’ visits and raise up the lampstands in Santa Rosa and Novato!
• Please pray that the Lord would burden some young saints, families, and serving ones to move to this white field.
