Middle-Age FTTA

BfA Korean Bible Seminar
We have been hosting BfA Bible seminars in Korea Town since last fall. These seminars are for the many seeking ones who received Recovery Version Bibles through our distributions or who are connected with us as friends or co-workers. The Lord is using these seminars especially to gain young families and working ones. Some of them are coming to home meetings, some of them already came to the table meeting through further contacts and shepherding.
Last Saturday, 29 new ones joined this seminar. This was the largest number ever, and the majority of them were young (20~30) as we prayed. Hallelujah! Please pray that:
- the Lord vitalize Korean saints to shepherd these new ones to gain them as remaining fruit eventually.
- the Lord take care of families that have children. Lord, preserve these children through household salvation!
- this ministry could reach all the seeking ones in L.A. through the Recovery Version Bible.
