Today was the last day of the first week of our distribution at MSJC. Five local saints and two brothers from Riverside joined us today. Today we gave out 39 Bibles and one student prayed to receive the Lord. The sisters had five appointments with Bible recipients today. More students are responding to our follow-up contacts. Several students are interested in the Saturday dinner.

Tomorrow (Friday, 29th) will be our rest day. On Saturday (30th), there would be community door-knocking in Menifee. So far, 18 local saints have signed up for this. May the Lord gain increase in the community here in Menifee.

Prayer Burdens:

• Please pray for the community door-knocking on Saturday (30th).
• Please pray for the follow-up of Bible recipients on the campus and continue to pray for the distribution at MSJC.
• Please pray for the local saints’ participation and the one accord.

On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, the team went to University of Alabama-Huntsville. The campus was very active with students as we gave out all of the Bibles that we brought. We gave out 140 Bibles and more than 450 gospel tracts under an hour and a half. There were many solid conversations as the team divided into gospel pairs to preach the gospel on campus. We also got appointments with two very open students on the campus. That evening, we had some time of fellowship in the saints’ home and a new couple, contacted in Birmingham and new to Huntsville, joined us for dinner and fellowship

Without access to Alabama A&M and after a great day of distribution at UAH the previous day, the team decided to go back to the UAH campus again Thursday afternoon for another day of distribution. Unfortunately, our stay on Thursday was short as the campus administration asked us to leave because we didn’t have permission. That evening, we visited a brand new family living in Athens, AL who opened their home to us. They cooked us dinner, then we had a time of singing and testimony from the trainees with a brief presentation of the FTTA. We were all very encouraged.

Prayer burdens:

• The follow-up and continual contact with the two students we had appointments with on campus.
• For the strengthening of the church in Huntsville and for something to be established on the campuses in the city.The Lord is able to do more than we ask or think.
• For the Bibles that have been sown this week, that the Bibles would be opened and read.

John 4:36-38—36. He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto eternal life, in order that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37. For in this the saying is true, One sows and another reaps. 38. I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.

For the past couple of days we have been on campus, passing out Bibles, tracts and other ministry materials. The students and even the staff are open and just seeking for the Lord. The work on this campus is absolutely astounding! On Tuesday, we were able to have a few second appointments with some of the students that were contacted during the BfA distributions, Praise the Lord! They are seeking the Lord and it was just such a privilege to be able to dispense life and Christ to these ones.

With the saints continual labor, the Lord’s testimony is being strengthened here in Fort Myers at FGCU (Florida Gulf Coast University). We have been enjoying our time here laboring with the saints. Many of the students are open about coming to Bible study and furthering their pursuit of the Lord. We pray that the Lord would continue to call these ones to Himself and release them to come to the Bible studies and appointments. The saints are burdened for a campus club to be established, but a campus administrator is needed to sponsor the club. So we pray that this one would be released!

On Tuesday, the saints began to gather together in many vital groups and prayed for the ones on our hearts whom we can visit. May the Lord vitalize each brother and sister in Salt Lake City through the vital group and visitations.

Furthermore, we had a wonderful prayer meeting on Wednesday night with 19 saints to pray for God’s interests at the University of Utah and also for His move in Germany to establish shining lampstands there. What a picture of the Body life!

In addition, it is through the saints’ prayers that we have gained contact information of 46 students for further appointment, thank you saints! It is definitely an enjoyment to preach the gospel and overflow Christ into the students, even a Mormon girl called on the name of the Lord and praise His name after reading 1 Cor 12:3. Praise the Lord!

Prayer burdens:

• 2nd appointment with the new contacts and the companionizing of the students
• Opening of a brother’s house and a sister’s house beside the University of Utah
• The practicing of the vital group for the building up of the church

Tuesday night we had a home meeting. Six students that the saints have been contacting attended and entered in, even functioning to speak in the meeting. They lingered for almost an hour after the meeting to converse with the saints.

Wednesday morning we returned to Old Dominion University (ODU) to pass out Bibles and ministry material. At the prayer meeting Wednesday night, it was apparent that the saints were burdened for remaining fruit from the campuses.

Tomorrow, we will be on the ODU campus again, and then we will take a tour to the naval base in Norfolk, which is the largest naval station in the United States. We will be distributing BfA packages designed specifically for military personnel.

Prayer burdens:

• That the seeking students would come to the seminar on Friday and that this would become a regular Bible study
• That the students would get connected to the local saints
• The word would spread at the Navy base
