Several weeks ago I was surprised by the earlier than usual changing color of the burning bushes. It meant fall was on its way.  The colors of the autumn season are what I look forward to. Once, while I was commuting to and from seminary, on one particular stretch of road I found myself worshiping, inspired by the beauty of the landscape on both sides of the highway.   Countless trees covered with yellow, orange, red and even brown stood tall with their branches spreading out and waving to the Creator God whenever the wind blew.  The spectacular view was to my imagination a majestic troop of almighty God's army.

Looking back over the past three months of summer break, there are several praise   reports from a Bible study group that I was hosting at the campus student residential complex. The majority of those who attend are the family of the international students.  Many reported increased faith, wanting to know Christ more and attending more Christian gatherings for worship and Bible studies. One sister was thankful for regaining the weight lost from anxiety and depression, fearing adjustment to her new retirement. At the last meeting before she went back to her country, she gave the praise to the Lord and the following testimony,

“This is the most remarkable trip for me. I came here to visit my son. Before I came, I was so frightened that I lost weight for months.  I was like a wandering sailboat not knowing where to dock.  After I came I heard the gospel, read the Bible, and now I know this Jesus. He gives me light, hope and saves me from sin and life's distress.  Within two months, He made flesh come upon me. Now I have a joyful spirit, and I will take this God with me as the Lord, when I go back to my home.”

That was my first time to hear her testimony and my last time to see her. I was deeply moved by her story.  Praise and glory to the Lord. He is able to save and His loving kindness endures forever.

There are many brothers and sisters whom we would like to thank for supporting us in prayers and finances which help us hold the faith and move forward with sharing the good news, encouraging others and sharing God's vision for Macau,

September 7 through 16, we will visit churches in Kansas City, KS. Please pray for the people who are preparing the meetings, for those who will receive God's vision and for our travel safety.

We thank you with all of our hearts.
