To Our Prayer Force,

Thank you for all your prayers! Throughout October, our church family prayed for us, a lot, & it “availed much” (James 5:16)!

Three years ago we ministered to YU and KENT & his wife, LISA. When Yu attended our church, he sang as loud as anyone; And Kent brought other non-Christians in his van, 3 times, to hear me preach an hour away. Shortly thereafter Yu returned to graduate from Peking U (the most prestigious U in the world), & Kent returned to Gwanjo. After that, I went to China, & they entertained me like a king in their respective cities; And Lisa told me that she read her Bible every day. A few days ago, my friend who went w/ me to China learned, via Facebook, that Yu & Kent are now working together!

A year ago I played basketball w/ CAM & SPENCER. Cam claims to be a Christian; Spencer is Jewish. This year I’ve also played basketball w/ them, & I keep providentially bumping into them at other times. Please pray for wisdom to know when to share the Gospel w/ them again.

Last week ALTOF (a Muslim) stopped by our literature table. We discussed the Trinity (John 1:1), prophecies, preservation & salvation by grace alone. He wrote down some of my questions that he wasn’t able to answer (such as, “When did the Bible become corrupt b/c, if it was early on, the subsequent generations didn’t have the Word of God.” And, “What was the Word of God before the Koran was written in the A.D. 600s?”) Just before leaving, Altof said that he would stop by again.

Please pray for KENNY who I’ve talked to 4 times. In that his major is “Religious Studies,” I’m concerned that, if he doesn’t soon reject the presuppositions of his apostate Prof (Samuel Boyd – who earned a Masters Degree at Westminster Seminary yet believes the Bible is merely a human document), he’ll venture down a dangerous & destructive path w/ no return. Speaking of the CU Religion Dept., tomorrow some of their inbred, self proclaimed “scholars” will authoritatively & unblushingly speak at a bizarre symposium on transgender / “3rd Wave Feminism.” Undoubtedly, it will epitomize desacralized, roll-your-own morality which inevitably breeds “shameless acts” (Rom. 1:27). I’m planning to interact – if there’s a modicum of common grace?

Nancy is continuing to teach our “John Studies” (which I’ll attach) to: SHIRLEY, JINYUN & WEI. Two years ago Shirley (a Buddhist) began coming to our English Class. A year ago she & her husband, TONY, came to our home & heard me explain the Christmas story. Recently, Tony’s neighbors invited them to their Gospel preaching church, & Tony & Shirley have attended twice! As for Jinyun, she continues to be more & more open to the Gospel! Regarding Wei, she became a Christian last Easter. Her husband (in China) & 4 kids are non-Christians, & they don’t want her to go to church. So Nancy is Wei’s only teacher.

Today a young lady, ALI, helped us at our lit table. She’s praying about helping us more often & is planning to help us this Friday – when Nancy & I will lead another (weekly) Bible discussion at the Chinese Church where: Over the past couple months, we’ve handed out many of our “Bridge” tracts & thereby explained the Gospel to many who have never heard – including DIANE (her American name) & her son, DOWI – and ERIC who explained, (in Chinese, to students whose English is poor), what the “Bridge” means. After that Bible discussion, we’ll scurry to International Crossroads to interact w/ students, including students who attend our English Class such as ISHMAEL, GLORIA & their kids, PAULA & PIERRO (from Mexico), LISA & her son, TONY (from China), MOSES & his family (from Korea), RUNG & his family (from China) and JACK & JING JING (who are from China & have visited our church).

Transcribing the Glory of God throughout the World,

P.S. [Re. the attachments] Over the decades, my parents & we have taught simple “John Studies” w/ hundreds of people. Our graphic designer formatted them into a booklet (that will need to be stapled).

I’ll also attach a copy of our “Bridge” which we’ve explained to hundreds of people over the decades. If you want to use them – on the back (bottom), you can delete details, such as where we meet, & paste the appropriate details such as where you meet.
