Activity highlights—2/4/15:

• While passing tracts and speaking to young people at the sports park, which is situated right across from a high school, one trainee was approached by the park ranger. After some questions and answers, the ranger was pleased to know that we are preaching Christ as salvation to the high schoolers. He said that he would not have permitted us to continue if we were to preach something else. He left shortly after he expressed the yearning that the young people in the park need salvation. Also he received a copy of Basic Elements of the Christian Life, vol. 1.
• A lot of high schoolers cross the park to the pick up spot. I was standing there passing out tracts to whoever was passing by. Most of the high schoolers would just take the tract and leave, but there was one young people who stopped to listen to me. He was very open. I shared the mystery of human life with him and he was very impressed. We talked for a long time, I even shared my testimony with him. We exchanged phone number for further contact. Just when I was about to keep passing out tracts, another young person resting at the table upstairs spoke to me. “I like what you did!”, he said. I replied, “Thank you! You are next! I’m coming right up!” That was like an open invitation for gospel. I would not miss this opportunity. I went upstairs and sat down at his table. He was hanging out with his friends. There were seven of them. Turned out that he’s with Calvary Chapel. He used to preach the gospel to people too. We had a wonderful time fellowshipping together. They were all agreed to come to our Bible study. Praise the Lord!

Activity highlights—2/5/15:

• Two sisters had two appointments with two students from MSJC. At the end of the day the Lord gave them two more divine appointments. As they waited for their first appointment they saw a student reading the Bible and they were led to speak to him. He was reading Ezekiel and the sisters read the footnotes with the student on the four living creatures. He was happy to finally understand the meaning of the four living creatures. The sisters invited the student to the Bible study that same day and he went after his class. We invited him to the in-reaping meeting after he told us he was not baptized. We are now praying that the Lord would release him to go to the meeting and be baptized.
• While we were waiting for our second appointment a women saw one of the sisters holding her ukelele and approached her to inquire about it. This then led to reading the footnotes in revelation on the church in Laodicea. This one woman was a born again Christian and was currently meeting in Calvary Chapel but was not being satisfied. After we gave her a copy of Basic Elements of the Christian Life she told us that she has read Watchman Nee books and has received a lot of light. Through the conversation the sisters had the feeling to give her a small booklet titled The Ground of the Church and exchange contact information. Even though the plan for the afternoon was to only have two appointments with two students, the Lord used our time to the maximum by setting up two other divine appointments with some seeking ones.

Activity highlights—2/7/15:

• A young man with his companion were going up the escalator and saw our banner and the Bibles on the table. He rejected his friend suggesting to go somewhere else but was jumping and running down the escalator and rushed to the table. Two sisters were there. He was so joyful to know we were giving out free Bibles. Just like the hymn said, “It is joy unspeakable and full of glory”; whoever touches and drinks the living water of life is full of joy! He was a lost sheep and just came back to the Lord nine months ago in a denomination church. With very clear salvation, he has passion for the Lord. In his wife’s cancer and many others things, he was touched by the Lord and had a subjective experience of Him. After he shared how he needs the daily nourishment of the word of God to fill his inward emptiness and thirst, we shared with him the “God-­shaped vacuum” of the third part of man, and some footnotes from the New Testament. He was so amazed and felt so blessed to receive the Bible and copies of Basic Elements of the Christian Life and The Normal Christian Life. We pray that he will be released to join tonight’s gospel ­in-­reaping meeting, to be connected to the local saints, and to be built up with the saints in the proper ground.

• We’ve been experiencing the Lord’s superabundant grace a lot during these last days of GTCA. We just prayed His burden back to Him and simply trusted in Him, and He is faithful to His work and move in Temecula. We believe this is just the start of the fire being cast on the earth of Temecula. May He gain more genuine seekers, useful vessels, and plant and ground them into the church in Temecula, in Himself, one by one. He is the living God. Praise Him.
