Gospel Report
Saturday, June 21, in Arcadia, the semi-annual Chinese-speaking gospel in-reaping had over 700 attend including 89 gospel friends. After the first session—the gospel truth forum—many gospel friends came to the podium to receive the Lord and 46 were baptized. In the second session, James Lee gave a gospel message on the true freedom (John 8:36) with another 5 baptized. There were many sisters praying during these two sessions; this is the key for us to receive the Lord's blessing that night.
Germany
On June 19 approximately 30 saints from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria distributed German Recovery Version New Testaments at a Christian event in Stuttgart, Germany. According to the event website, there were over 21,000 participants that day. Because this was a gathering of many serious-minded and genuine believers in Christ, our burden was to distribute New Testaments and to make known and available the riches of the truths of the ministry to the German-speaking Christians. We felt that to a certain extent this was fulfilled on that day. All the New Testaments that we had, close to 700, were given out and 20 to 25% asked for further contact. Last, there was a sweet coordination and blending among the saints as they worked together to seek the increase. Please pray:
- For the follow-up contact of the Bible recipients by the saints in the coming days; may many of these recipients be added to the churches as remaining fruit.
- For a positive reception of the Recovery Version and a positive response by German-speaking Christians.

Spreading in Ventura County
The home meetings of the church in Thousand Oaks have increased in number as well as in the number of saints in each home meeting. We are spreading organically from Thousand Oaks into other cities to take care of the neighborhood needs.
- Oxnard – a couple opened their home. Occasionally the couple's Christian friends and another brother come together. Lately this meeting has become more regular. More saints jointed this meeting (in English). Almost every Thursday, we have a home meeting at the couple’s house.
- Moorpark – six months ago, a couple came back to the church life. They are zealous for the gospel. With the campus work at Moorpark College, the Lord stirred up the spirit of the saints. We started a home meeting four weeks ago (in English).
- Simi Valley – saints there have the burden to labor on CLU. After our 8-week vital group training, saints started a home meeting focus on CLU campus. One new one has been baptized and added to the church life. Meetings are in Chinese.
- Camarillo – in 2008 a couple in Camarillo got saved and they are very burdened for the gospel. They opened their home for meetings. Through the years we held the meeting in English with mostly Chinese saints. We have contacted many English-speaking Christians and brought some into the church life.
- Oak Park (Thousand Oaks north) – many young couples live there and are making contacts with neighbors. We have a Chinese-speaking home meeting. One saint's parent got baptized recently. Two new families are being contacted and shepherded.

We believe that the Lord spoke what was on His heart, and there was an excellent response. In addition, due to the warm atmosphere provided by the Lord, the saints enjoyed the fellowship with one another throughout the weekend.
