Praise the Lord that Baozhong Alliance Church has an intern, Lee Yu-Yang (李聿楊), who is starting this month. He will be coming down twice a month on weekends to connect with the people. He is gifted in music and seems to have a passion for teaching people the Word of God. Through various difficult experiences in his life, he has learned to trust in the faithfulness of God and his grace. Each day is a gift to him. Please pray too for Albert as he mentors Yu Yang.

Praise the Lord that a few new Baozhong contacts have shown interest in praying for Jesus to help them. Pray that God will help them to be able to attend church services and Bible studies so that they can grow in their understanding of what it means to believe in Jesus. Pray that they will be willing to trust in Jesus alone and not just add Him to their existing belief system.
Please pray for our daughter Elyssa who is studying language and linguistics at University of Calgary. Please pray that her academic advisor can help her negotiate with the university so that she can graduate in Spring 2017. The university seems reluctant to give her credit for a beginner course that she tested and passed. Please pray that this matter can be satisfactorily resolved.
Thank-you for being on mission with God: Everyone, Everywhere, All the time.
