2008 China Missions July Highlights

China Team: Sis Vicky, Amy, Sue, Allen, Ariel, Freeman, Bro Leong, Sis Leong (Total: 8)

Sis Vicky led the team with sensitivity of the Holy Spirit. Emphasizing on what God has put in our hands for this trip. He has put..

Healing in our hands…
Prayed for Pas and Sis Sheh of Light & Love School (family that was burned), although no immediate results, we did notice and confirmed by Sis Sheh that God has been healing her since we prayed for her last Oct 2007. Signs of her healing included smoother complexion on face and other body parts, leather hands turned to softer hands. We are trusting in her complete healing

along with her son ! Please continue to pray for the family.

Prayed for healing Rev Ho (head of all churches in Wuhan) and comfort for the lost of her little one not too long ago.Prayed for healing after service at Thanksgiving Church in Wuhan.
Prayed for healing for all the kids that were there at the Agape Family House.
Prayer in our hands…
Prayed for Rev Ho’s husband to take the spiritual lead in the family while the wife is sick and for comfort and strength.

Prayed for various Government churches for growth, restoration (snow-Damaged church and Calvary helped to support in Jou San), expansion.

Prayed for UR Café and MS Christian Bookstore in Beijing and Langfang as a place that God will use to bring more people unto Himself.

Prayed for Hubei Province as our Hotel in Wuhan was just in front of the Provincial Government Building.

Prayed for 1st Christianity Graduate School with the 1st graduating class in Wuhan University.
Prayed for strength and anointing for Rev Wang (Hubei Province Church Chairman & wife Rev Guo (Senior Pastor of Thanksgiving Church in Wuhan), Amy even prophesized over Rev Guo !

Prayed for the new Hubei Christian Council President: Rev Zhu.

Prayed for new Vineyard Project in the country side where they will build a church and evangelize the surrounding villagers/farmers and invite them to come. It will also serve as a retreat and training center. Fruits and vegetables will be grown and the proceeds could go towards the Pastors retirement fund. We visited the first one that has been opened for about a year where fruits and vegetables and flourishing and a church building has just been built. Also, Ark School students will be going there for a month to do a short term missions work and evangelize to surrounding farmers/villagers.
Prayed for the new location of the Ark School in the countryside about 1 hour’s drive from where they are now. The land has been bought, and they are ready to draw out the plans to build. Ark School just celebrated their 10th Anniversary where about 1/3 of the graduates enter seminary and/or work as full time church workers. Evangelism in our hands…
Using Sermons, testimonies, “Everything” Skit, English Corners, University lectures, salvation color bracelets, tracts, and personal relationships, a total of 52 people made decisions for the Lord
29 at Thanksgiving Church Altar Call after Sis Vicky preached and our team gave testimonies. 15 University Students in Langfang after our “Everything” Skit followed by an altar call Others included:
our English Tour Guide, Bus Driver Waitresses/Waiters/Cook at UR Café, village mom, other Langfang University students, etc.,
The great thing is that all of the ones saved at the Thanksgiving church will be followed up by the discipleship program and the Langfang students that were saved will be followed up by the Bookstore/Café Manager and her Christian staff.

Other Highlights...
· Great to have Sis Vicky as our spiritual leader. She prepared us spiritually everyday and led us by example. Her sensitivity to the Holy Spirit prepared us really well.
· Great to see Amy stepping up as Leader of Logistics in Training, I am confident she is able and will do a good job on our next China Missions.
· Great to see Amy ministering with her parents. Her parents expressed they were proud of her and her growth over the years.
· Ariel's attitude, her willingness to try different things, her outgoing energetic and magnetic personality went way beyond our expectations. She is mature beyond her years. And at 16, she even initiated and pushed us to practice and encouraged us to do well in our play. Her Hula dancing really broke the ice for us and the audience. It was great to see her growth over the last 13 days.
· Great to see Allen’s heart…a University student whom he led to the Lord last October returned to see him. He put his love into action along with our team members by helping her with her upcoming Senior year’s tuition!
· Rev Guo invited us to bring High School Youths in early July 2009 to do a English Camp where we could totally use the Bible/Christianity as the text.
· Great to see the first Christianity Graduate School held at Wuhan University, the first of it’s kind in a government top notch University.
· Calvary Missions was able to financially support the Light and Love School & Calvary Missions was able to financially support 30 Seminary Students in Wuhan
· Calvary Missions was able to financially support the ML Bookstore and UR Café in Langfang where the funds were greatly needed. According to the owner and manager, our support was a sign from God to continue the work in Langfang. If our support didn’t come from us and other sources, they would probably close down the bookstore/café this summer. It was a definite answer to prayer!
· Great to see the Agape House’s Bakery up and running with the older foster girls learning valuable life skills.
· Great to see Sue stepping up in taking the authority of the Lord to pray for the sick and ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit.
· Great to hear from Rev Guo to Sis Vicky that we lay people have more power and faith in prayer than the pastors she knows in China. All Glory be to God !God loves China and the Harvest is ready. Please pray to be a laborer in this exciting and open harvest. Please also continue to pray for China and all the things that Calvary is doing there.
