It is one third larger than the last one and in a much better location. They are now preparing to start an activity center to attract young parents and begin a Bible study. Please pray that they will be able to pull this off in the coming month!

It is certainly amazing to see how the Lord put all things and people together to work for His Kingdom’s good! Please pray that Lemuel will continue to grow as a good and faithful servant of the Lord!

Person of the month: Ernie Lee 

Ernie came to America with his parents when he just turned 13. He moved to New Hampshire from California after college. He is now 55 years old but has little knowledge of the Bible. He came to MCCC two years ago with his girl friend and joined our Cantonese small group this year. He works on three jobs so it is difficult to find time to do personal Bible study with him. We thank God that recently he is able to have Sunday morning off so he can come to church more regularly. I started Bible study with him during Sunday school hour couple weeks ago. Please pray that he will accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior soon!

• Both of our pianists are not available most of September due to traveling to China or having family come to visit. Please pray that God’s Spirit enlivens our worship even in the absence of the musicians and that others would rise up to serve.

• Please ask God to provide spiritual growth for our men’s ministry leaders from church. It has been very encouraging to see these men grow in their faith and ability to lead the church. Other potential leaders remain weak, but we trust God will use the good example of some to strengthen the others.

Due to this physical condition, she hasn’t been able to attend church for most of the summer. Please pray for the Lord to provide miraculous healing for her.

• Please pray for Ji Park and his wife Hanna Kim as they prepare to move to Chicago, IL on Monday, September 11th. Ji and Hanna have both served on our worship team and have been invested in our church ministries for many years. Please pray for this transition as Ji takes leadership of his family business. They are still trying to have a baby, please pray for patience during this long process. Also, pray that God will raise up new leaders to fill the opportunities left in our local ministry.
