Last Thursday for 2014. Hooray!

Party Day!

It was our last Thursday Bible study group for the year. This was well attended with 15 people coming to join the festivities. We supplied a chinese lunch with noodles, char sil,bau, har gau and dim sum. We also had desert at the end, mango pudding which Margaret from CPC kindly made and I supplied cake. I also gave out presents. It does feel good to have a break from this group. Bible study went ok for the size of the group, this made it a bit hard to manage.

However I praise and thank God that he brought two guys along who had not been before. I have been visiting both these guys and both have mental illness. One of them has quite severe mental illness so for him to attend, even though he left early, was definitely God working in his life.

Pray that we will be able to continue the group next year at CPC.

Thanks for your prayer support and participation throughout the year.  To me its clear I could not have done any of this without your prayer support

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately no one from Tuesday night attended Bible study today. As you can see to

make the transition from a Tuesday night to Thursday Bible study needs more than good conversation and invitation.

This really requires God to work a miracle in some people. Despite the lack of attendance from Tuesday night's

individuals, 11 people came through our doors today. Bible study was well received and participated.

Although there appears to be a bit of tension between a couple of our regulars. I am trying to reconcile their misunderstandings.

Thanks again for your prayers and support

Michael

Last Tuesday Night of 2014 - November SHUM

Tuesday the 25th November was the last SHUM Tuesday Night for the year.
Many people were there and many willing to chat to us and stay. If we had stayed even longer, I suspect they would have stayed with us. The November SHUM team were very encouraged and it was a fitting note to end the SHUM Tuesday night calendar on.
Thanks to the November SHUM team for participating in the month. I hope the challenges and things you learnt during the month  can be carried on and shared with others.
I wish the November SHUM team, God's blessings as many are embarking on different paths and at different Churches.
Thanks again for your support participation and prayers

Thursday 13th November 2014

Hi everyone,

9 people came through our doors on Thursday. It was a very quiet day and Bible study was well participated.

No incidents or casualties. We have a few regulars away one being in hospital whom I visited on Wednesday.

He also attended Bible study On Tuesday afternoon with me and would have been at central on Tuesday night

but admitted himself to emergency at St Vincents Hospital.

Visiting at St Vincents is pretty much a weekly occurrence for me the last few months. As I visited this guy in emergency I also met another guy from the lodge in emergency as well. Then after these 2 encounters I had to visit another guy in another part of St Vincents.

Thanks for your prayers for Thursday, it was a joy to have a peaceful Thursday without too much aggression from anyone.

Please continue to pray for us.

Thanks

Michael

God's Grace 6th Nov 2014

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your prayers. Even though we had some regulars away. 15 people came through our doors. This was a bit of a surprise even to me. This is more than our normal number. Despite the number of people who came things ran relatively smoothly. Although directing the Bible study and answering people’s questions was an extremely busy process.

I really must thank God for His sovereignty. One guy who can be very difficult and aggressive clearly did not want to leave. He hung around after everyone had left.  I cleaned up spoke with him and said goodbye and left him in the courtyard. I watched him from a distance And prayed and after about 5 minutes he left.

Praise God that this guy left in peace and of his own accord.

One lady came for the first time today and hopefully will continue to do so, please pray for her.

Pray that God will continue to work in the lives of these people

Thanks

Michael
