When we first launched our discipleship small groups in August 2010, there was one particular student (Sister in Christ) with a strong hatred toward two specific Asian nationalities because of their history. It appeared no matter what was said to encourage her to love them, she would not.
Add Comment Today at 730pm, Hong Kong Time Zone, we launch our new weekly prayer effort centering our prayer around the following three areas.
We're excited to announce the expansion of our discipleship ministry. Beginning the fall semester of 2010, we have officially launched our small groups. These groups will include both college students and young college graduates and focus on bible studies (using only the Bible), community ministry projects and a cross-cultural mission trip. Some of the bible study topics will include "Cost of Following Jesus", "Great Commandment/Great Commission", "Identity/Authority in Jesus" and other biblical topics. Within a week, "The 10" will be among the UPG within the next 48 hours. Please pray for travel safety, favor among the people and opportunities to spread the Gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit! FYI - "The 10" refers to 10 seminary students from an underground seminary in East Asia who is serving this next month among an Unreached People Group providing humanitarian relief efforts and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We want you to know that the funds were provided per our last entry. The 10 East Asian brothers are now on their way to the identified Unreached People Group they will be focusing on over this next month. Pray for favor, open doors and a move of the Holy Spirit to change lives! We recently completed our first Unreached People Group (UPG) Project. It involved 4 local East Asian brothers who visited several UPG in Western East Asia. We are currently evaluating the events and will be sending out an update in the next issue of "News from CrossCampus". Be on the look out! Today, a pastor came to us because his church, many who are college students, took up an offering this past Sunday for the relief work in Haiti. It is incredible watching God move in the hearts of East Asian believers to assist those hurting 8,000 miles away. C.L. is an East Asian brother in our mentoring ministry. I just met with him this evening and he shared that he'll be returning home soon to visit his whole family. He's the only believer in his family but his parents have forbidden him in the past from bringing his Bible into their home or even sharing about his faith. However, he plans to do both this time around. So, I want you to join with me in partnering with C.L.
Recently, a 7.0 earthquake hit the capital of Haiti. More than 100,000 people are feared dead. Although we are an East Asian focused ministry, it's difficult to sit by and do nothing. Being and East Asian based ministry, helping in Haiti poses some challenges but we want to attempt to do something. At this time, we want to challenge you to do the following three things. 1. Donate money to help provide relief. There are many suggestions but we suggest Youth With a Mission* (also view YWAM Haiti*) because they work closely with the church in Haiti. The reason we suggest them is that they are a ministry that works directly with the church in Haiti. They are doing more than providing relief, they are providing relief and sharing the Gospel. 2. Pray for God to bring healing & relief to the entire country, for the church in Haiti to take a leading & active role in the relief and for the Gospel to pentrate the hearts of the Haitian people. 3. Pray for the church in East Asia to step up and assist in some way to assist the church in Haiti with relief efforts, at the very least in monetary assistance. * Youth With a Mission & YWAM Haiti are not official partners with CCI or governed by CCI.
