Newsletter December 2013

Last weekend, we had an Evangelical retreat! There were about 15 non-Christian  students who joined us at the Fin Retreat (It is finished Retreat) . We shared the gospel  with them by using  the last  7 words on the cross  that Jesus said," It is finished" . What Jesus has done on the cross for human sinners, including myself,  is finished  on the cross.  This good news  reminds me again that I am A needy sinner. I am so thankful for this good news!

Personal update 
In the last newsletter, I mentioned to you about how tried and emotional I was during the past month. Right now  I feel better after having good time with God and rest from being sick. One thing that I have learned from God is in Philippians 3:7-9:

  "But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith."

I have a great time meditate on this truth. I have more freedom in living everyday to know God more to live with Him is worth more than anything.  Please for me that I will have a great time with Him everyday. 

Praise!
As I am writing this newsletter, I just received news that one of the students who has been studying the Bible with Liew (a Christian student from our ministry) just professed his faith in Christ ! Praise God!
Support Update 

Over the past 6 months and more, I have experienced some loss in my support.  I am currently $750 short in monthly commitments from being at 100%. Unfortunately, during my time in America, I did not gain many new monthly supporters as I expected, but I know God will provide! So I am asking you for your help!

What can you do?

Please consider helping me in any of the following areas:
  1. PRAY: Please pray right now that God would bring in the remaining support by the end of the year!
  2. JOIN MY SUPPORT TEAM: Contribute financially every month for any amount - $10, $60, or $300 - Every dollar counts. I am currently in need of $750 in new monthly support. Give now by clicking here.
  3. SPECIAL GIFT:  Contribute to my current need of $2500 in one-time in order to bring my support account back up to a healthy place.
  4. INCREASE YOUR SUPPORT: Even $5 or $10/month more helps! 
  5. ADOPT ME : Ask your home group or Bible Study about "Adopting-A-Missionary". You can follow my ministry together, take a monthly collection, write me cards or emails of encouragement, etc. 

Thank you for your  prayer
May Glory be to our God
