Tuesday 30th November

Thanks to everyone who participated in the month of November. This was the last Tuesday night for the year. Many people came to see us the last two Tuesday nights and we praise and thank God for His sovereign interaction in this.
Please continue to pray for the Thursdays Bible discussions as they will be continuing throughout December and some of January 2011.
I hope that the Novemeber team was challenged and I also hope that I will see you again sometime next year. Please remember to continue to pray for those you have met on Tuesday nights.
Thanks again for your participation and support.

Hi everyone and thanks for your prayers.
Today even though we had regulars away due to illness and holidays 9 people still attended Bible discussion. I was fortunate to have James Fong lead the study today and Rev David Tsai also sat in and participated in the study today. Roxan Chan cooked another great lunch which was very appreciated. Ann also helped out again today. Please continue to pray for the group and that God will work in the lives of all who attend.
Thanks
Michael

Tuesday 23rd November

Tuesday night was an interesting night with many people attending the night. We ran out of hot water I think before 9.00pm. Some good conversations were also had and hopefully some of those will convert into attendance on Thursday. Either way though God is good and gracious and knows who he wants there on Thursday.
Please keep praying.

Thursday 18th November

Thanks for your prayers everyone.

Today 10 people attended Bible study however 2 had to leave early before Bible discussion. A woman whom attend brought her boyfriend today. He is not a believer so I was really expecting them not to stay. But they both came they did not have lunch but she came to let me know she was travelling ok. Her boyfriend interestingly enough, who does not believe asked me if I could get him a copy of the worship DVD we were singing to. The two songs we sang were specifically about 1) Jesus on the cross and 2) God in creation. Well lets just pray this has an affect and he will return. One guy who came to see me on Tuesday night came today as well. It was encouraging to see him again and hopefully, prayerfully he will be a regular fixture? Who knows. Strangely enough we had a few people today away , who are normally regulars but by God's grace and providence numbers were still good. Not that, that is the way to measure fruit.

Thursday 11th November

Today 11 people attended Bible discussion with 1 new person attending. This person was told about the group from another guy I know. Funnily I have not seen him for about 8 months. God is gracious. One other guy who came last week who was not doing so good mentally came today in a much better state and really enjoyed his time. I am truly thankful to God for that. Today as like other days we have been singing two songs before we start the Bible discussion and today it was so encouraging to see everyone get involved and enthusiastic about singing praises. That's just God working nothing to do with me I was singing and just watching. I am also thankful that a person I met on Tusday night who was very aggravated and was threatening to attend on Thursday group and disrupt things, did not appear. Even though I did not give this much thought I realise after today that God is watching over us when we do not even realise it. Praise God.
Thanks for everyone's prayers

Thursday 4th November

Thanks for your prayers. 7 people attended and two new people came, hopefully they will return. This was not including myself, my wife, and Ann and Shemariah who came to help.

The study was a little quite today, but people were thinking. One person who came today was not well and spent another hour afterwards talking to myself my wife Lisa and the minister of the Church I attend. He really just needed to vent but was very aggressive in doing so. However even though I am use to this it is still very hard and even harder for others their not to feel threatened or put off by this person.

Please continue to pray for the group as you can see untoward things do occur. Satan works hard to stop and place as many obstacles as he can in people’s path.

Thanks Michael
