Dear Prayer Warriors in NZ and in Overseas,
Good afternoon! We thank you a lot for your prayers for us. We would like to give all the praise to the Lord.
1. Praise the Lord for the Ramadan Feast. We had more than 200 people (include about 100 M-Neighbors from various countries in Central Asia, M-East, Africa regions) attending to our Ramadan Feast at the Auckland Baptist Tabernacle Church on last Sunday evening, 2nd of August.
– Followers of Jesus sat with M-Neighbors at the same table together, ate, sang the NZ National Anthem, listened to the message (from Ps. Bryan about the living water Jesus gives), and prayed together for the world.
– 15 Jesus DVD were taken by M Neighbors. Especially, M-children took the DVD. We pray that they will ask their parents to watch that Jesus DVD together and that their whole family members will know about the Truth, the Good News, who Jesus is.
– Also, a box of Bryan’s book named, “The Right Path,” was taken, and people appreciated to know that there is someone who wrote a book about Christianity and Is**m.
– Some people took the Bible to their home.
Thanks a lot for your prayers, once again. Please continuously pray for us and for M-neighbors who came to our feast. Please pray that Holy Spirit will continue to speak to them and that Christians who sat with them will follow them up and continue to pray for them.
I would like to share some comments that we’ve got from our Neighbors as below. Please join us to praise the Lord for what He has done!
“Last night was one of the unforgettable moments in my life. it was awesome. I try to keep in touch with you even from my country”(from a couple whom we’ve met on Friday night outreach. They were very sad that they need to go back to their country. Please keep them in your prayers as I will meet them up and give them a Farsi bible to them)
It was an awesome arrangement. Great work! God bless us all
Thanks for inviting us to such a beautiful event. God bless
We had a great night after 6 months and enjoyed. God bless you and all the friends.
It was an excellent experience for us.
Thank you very much for inviting us. It was amazing. We need your prayers.
Everything was good and lovely…
2. Praise the Lord that M, an asylum seeker, has been granted her refugee status last week. Thank you very much for your prayer. However, she still needs to be settled her life in NZ. Please keep FFF in your prayer that FFF will be filled with God’s unconditional love and wisdom to support her and others who are in difficult time
3. Please pray for a family from a fundamental M country as we have received an email that they are looking for a safe place in NZ to be a follower of Jesus. Their friends was sentenced to be in prison for 10 years and a 1000 lashes because he talked about human right to advocate other religion. Please pray for their safe trip to NZ and we will be able to help them to find a safe place and to be their NZ family. Also, pray for us continually to be capable to help those people who are seeking a safe place.
4. Pray for S, a M-background believer, and V, a sikh, as they are in hard time, they will be stronger in Faith. V needs to extend his visa to stay in NZ and to get a job. Through this hard time, V will be able to know God more, and S will be supporting him in prayers. We had a good evening yesterday at our place with them. They really appreciate for this community how God allowed them to have good Christian people, especially seniors, who have been praying with them and sharing trouble time together.
We really appreciate for your presence with us in prayers. We give all thanks and glory to God who has been faithfully fulfilling His will on the earth as it is in heaven. We look forward to seeing more of His faithful works to be done in NZ and around world. Please CONTINUE TO BE WITH US IN PRAYERS IN YOUR PRESENCE. We are not possible to do without your prayer supports.
We pray that the Holy Spirit keep on helping us to pray for each other in our Lord Jesus. We love you all in our Lord.
God bless you!
With Lots of Love and Blessings,
Paul and Esther Chang
