Thursday 28th October


Today started out as a quiet with few people but then day developed into quite a large group. We ended up with 11 people attending Bible discussion. This did not include Ann and my wife from CPC, Josh from Sutherland, myself and James Fong who came to lead the Bible discussion today. Roxan Chan cooked a magnificent lunch. 3 people who attended today were new. Please pray that they may return so we can continue to encourage them with a life in Jesus.
Thanks for your prayers.
Michael

Thanks to the Shum October Team

Thanks to the particpants of Shum October. The last Tuesday in October saw many people attend and many invites were given to people about Thursday's Bible discussion. I hope the Shum team was encouraged and challenged during the month and I hope to see you all back here next year some time. I will be in touch. Please continue to pray for us.
Thanks
Michael

Thursday 21st October

Thanks again for your prayers.

7 sort of 8 people attended Bible discussion today. This does not include some helpers Ann, Josh and myself. Again another new person came but forgot he had something else to attend to and left early.

Please pray for one lady who has an ongoing breathing problem that doctors really need to investigate quickly. It is hard work for her to come I pick he up from central and drop her back at the bus station to ease her walking. Seeing her commitment is such an encouragement to me.

Pray also that one person who attends regularly will be able to return as he has been meeting up with his family on Thursdays.

Thanks Michael

Thursday 14th October

Today 7 people attended Bible discussion. Not including Ann and myself. Scila provided a great lunch which everyone enjoyed. One of the ladies who does not attend during the winter months has now returned as it has warmed up. Please pray that God will continue to speak through me no matter how I think the day proceeds.
Thanks Michael

Thursday 7th October


Thank you for your prayers. Today I thought that not many people would attend Bible study as one person had already sent their apologies and another was in hospital. However, God had other plans 12 people attended today plus myself and one helper Shemariah. Praise God. Please pray for one person who left early I think because someone ticked him off. Unfortunately no one from Tuesday night showed although I have talked to a couple from Tuesday night.
God works in mysterious ways: Today I got a call from the Doctor looking after the lady I took to hospital from Church camp on the weekend. I have been monitoring how she has been going each day and wondering if I need to transport her home. Anyway her doctor from hospital rang me today and she happened to be one of the people I had given a talk to a few weeks earlier at another Church. Praise God that He is watching over my friend in hospital from Thursday group. Today everyone sent their best wishes to her and prayed for her.
I will be picking this lady up from hospital tomorrow to transport her home.
I was also encouraged again by the way God works. One man who attended today , struggling with addiction, said in the morning he spoke to his counsellor who asked what he was going to do today. He said he suddenly remembered Bible study was on today and replied I am going to Bible study at the Chinese Prebyterian Church. Only God can insert things like that into someone's mind when there are so many other things for them to think about.
Thanks

1st-3rd October Church Camp

This was an eventful weekend. 2 people pulled out at 6.30pm on Friday evening after many phone conversations. One other lady was was sick and should have gone to hospital. However such was her desire to attend, she pushed herself to meet me at the pickup point. Early Saturday morning I had to transport and admit her to hospital at 6.30am. She is still there at present recovering and being diagnosed. Hopefully she will be released tomorrow and able to attend Bible discussion group. Please pray for her recovery. For those left who did attend the camp they had a great time. Praise God. I also hope they learnt things which I am sure they did.
Thanks for your prayers
