We are planning to expand the service of our tutorial school in Sichuan to a 24/7 child care service to meet the needs of the people and increase our chance to evangelize the children. Please pray that we will be able to move into a bigger facility and recruit more Christian teachers and helpers
Please pray for the continuing education of our IBCC students to become ‘Bible college teachers’! I took some of them to visit two graduate schools of the Bible in Hong Kong. May God help us to make the wise decision to develop Bible teachers in China!
Our person of the month is Jing Qian. Please pray for him and his family this month as they are moving to Guizhou to evangelize, plant churches and make disciples among the Puyi tribes. He first learned about Jesus from his mother and went to church with her when he was little. However, he left the Lord when he was about 15 years old because of the communist atheistic education he received from school. In 2003 after he graduated from high school, a friend invited him to join an intensive Bible study course. Even his parents urged him to go, but he turned down the invitation because by then he did not believe in God anymore. Somehow the Lord softened his heart that night and he decided to give it a try the next morning. The one-half month Bible study changed his life. They got up to read the Bible and pray at 4 a.m. They had to finish reading 80 chapters of the Bible every day. He rededicated his life to God during that time and offered himself to God for full-time service to preach the Gospel and witness for Christ. The following year, he studied in an “underground Bible college” in Beijing and became a Bible teacher and preacher in several churches. Later, he also studied a Bible course from IBCC and met his wife Nikki in our IBCC camp. They married two years ago and have a baby boy (Charis). Nikki was our IBCC student and served in our tutorial school and churches in Sichuan as an evangelist before their marriage. Jing Qian ministered in the non-instrumental Church of Christ in Beijing for the last two years. They have accepted our challenge to pioneer the Kingdom’s work in Guizhou. The whole family will move there from Beijing next month. We are now looking for housing, making connection for them in Guizhou and setting up a supporting structure for their mission work. Your prayers are much appreciated!
