L.A. Korean Festival, Bible Seminars and Bible Clubs
The annual festival ended on Lord’s Day. Saturday, October 5, we will have a Bible seminar targeting many hungry ones and NT recipients in the L.A. Korean community. The goal of these seminars is to link them to Bible clubs meeting weekly where all the seeking ones can enjoy His rich words with the Korean Recovery Version. Please pray that:
- The Lord supply richly for further contact with every one who received a NT.
- The Lord bring many seeking ones to the Bible seminar and connect them to the Bible clubs.
- The Lord bless all the Bible clubs to be wide open entrances to the church life for many new ones.
Santa Barbara
We now have more than 20 students in Santa Barbara. Half of them are new (from other churches) this school year. Ask the Lord 1) to blend our students together, 2) to connect them with the homes, and 3) to give them good experiences in reaching out to other students.
Nigeria
We are grateful to the Lord for his move in this age. The 30 minute weekly radio broadcast on the book of Revelation has been going on in Lagos, Nigeria since April 2013. We received over 100 phone calls asking for printed copies of the messages and indicating their love for the ministry. On September 14 we conducted a 3 hour seminar and 53 of them were in attendance; their testimonies and response to the ministry was wonderful and quite encouraging. They also indicated that their homes are open for us.
We experienced this blessing of increase through the radio years before. Now we feel the Lord is about to do something more to advance his move. This is an urgent need for prayer:
- For the Lord to utilize this opportunity to shepherd these people, and
- To strengthen the work in Nigeria through the radio broadcast.
