Meet Mimi 10/07/2011
 
I met “Mimi” last year at an English club in East Asia.  Each time we met, I got to talk with her about the Gospel on some level.  Then she joined one of our summer English Camps where she met six of our incredible summer volunteers.  She heard the Gospel again and the time was right.  Mimi became a follower of Jesus, joined one of our very first small groups and was baptized this year.

We are seeking to open our first "Student Center" in East Asia.  The purpose is to have a facility where can we host discipleship small groups for university students, establish a church (one that multiplies) around a community of university campuses and a place where various Evangelistic activities can take place in a private and secure location.

Last weekend, we got the privilege of watching seven East Asians jump in a river and get baptized by Timothy* and another local brother.

This is the last day for this specific Call to Prayer.  Thank you for joining with us in prayer.  Today is also the day to fast, if you committed to do this with us.

Joshua, in the Old Testament, took over Moses’ position to lead Israel into the Promise Land.  Once they began their journey, with Joshua in command, they came to Jericho which had a giant wall surrounding it.  This wall was bigger than Israel could deal with and they knew it, but not too difficult for God to overcome.

Do you think it is possible for a single campus to have 100 small groups within five years?  I say yes.

John chapter 15 is one of my favorite chapters in the bible.  It clearly states that apart from Christ, we can do nothing good.  We desire to see God awaken the hearts of a multitude of students to know Him and be reconciled to Him, through Christ.  But despite our best efforts, best communication and best explanation of the Gospel, it will fall on deaf ears if the Holy Spirit does not open their ears.  It’s that simple.  No amount of effort on our part will ever convince a person that Jesus Christ is the only way to God.  Only the Holy Spirit can do this.

I have the privilege to be praying daily with two local brothers during this Call to Prayer.  It’s been incredible hearing what’s in their heart as they pray and seek God.

Day 2 Call to Prayer – East Asian students are eager to hear about different ideas so they are open to hearing about Mormonism, Christianity and many other faiths.  It’s good that they discover what these beliefs represent but it’s eternally vital they discover who designed Truth and what the Truth is.

I’m honored that you are joining our Call to Prayer.  Like I mentioned in my original Call to Prayer email, I believe God is preparing a rapid advancement of His Gospel among East Asian college students and it will be something we can’t calculate with human wisdom.  It will be an act of God led by the Holy Spirit.

I’m sure you’re keeping up with the events in Japan so I won’t talk about those details.  I do want to discuss what’s happening in East Asia.

Anxiety and fear is high and widespread.  Many fear the nuclear problems in Japan may affect us here very soon, although the US Embassy has told us that there is no evidence there is any threat to this nation in the near future.
