親愛的匯點人，

我很高興地看到有23人出席了上星期日的301課程。他們都是主內的弟兄姊妹，願意學習如何按照自己的樣式(SHAPE)和使用合宜的態度來服侍神。在過去兩個月，我和很多弟兄姊妹和小組交談過，發現我們一般都抱有興奮的心情，期待我們的生活和教會有正面的改變。求主也讓你感受到這個興奮，期望未來一年會有一個更健康的教會！

這個星期六，我將會和所有的小組領袖分享如何加強我們的小組事工，也會收集大家的意見。到星期日，我將會和所有目前和可能合適的聖經導師開會，了解我們的計劃和進一步使他們能夠終身有效地學習神的話語。在我們的12/19日的社區項目後，我將會帶領一個祈禱會，向所有正在和打算修讀神學課程的弟兄姐妹禱告。求主讓我可以幫助他們，了解神在他們身上的心意。我看到神已經向我們揮手，我相信祂將會有一些重要的事情要告訴我們！

這個星期日，將是最後一日收集捐贈"Pack of Love"的社區服務捐款。我鼓勵你們為這件事禱告，如何可以幫助舒援苗必達市的社區需要！

祈禱事項：

1. 感謝讚美主！祂的供應多過我們的需要，以至我們可以幫助有需要的人。祈求神讓我們有一顆願意的心去幫助他們。
2. 請為我們的小組事工代禱。祈求我們有足夠的導師去關懷和支持各小組長。
3. 祈求神的恩典臨到那些曾經聽過並明白耶穌基督的愛與犧牲的人身上，讓他們可以決志成為基督徒。
4. 祈求神幫助那些已在感恩節福音音樂晚會中接受耶穌基督為救主的學生，讓他們能夠在主裡成長，每天經歷著神的帶領和恩典。
5. 請為國語事工禱告，當中的組員正接受門徒訓練。祈求神讓他們可以建立一個更堅定的信心，以至他們可以服事講國語的朋友們。
6. 請為未接受浸禮的信眾禱告，祈求他們能在十二月廿五日聖誕節，以受浸的行動去表明信心。

Dear basic

I was thrilled to see there were 23 people shown up at Class 301 last Sunday afternoon. They were brothers and sisters in Christ who would like to learn how we could serve the Lord with their SHAPE and a godly attitude. I’ve chatted with many basic in the past 2 months in group or individual and found that we are in general looking forward for positive changes in our life and our church as well. I pray that you also sense the excitement and expectancy for a more healthy church in the years to come!

This Sat. at 2, I will meet with all the small group leadership to share and get some feedback on how we could further strengthen our small groups. On Sunday, the following day, I will meet with all the current and potential Bible teachers to review our plan to further equip them to become effective life time students of God’s Word. On the 19th after our community project, I will host a prayer meeting with all the brothers and sisters who are attending or contemplating to enroll for seminary classes. I pray that I could be instrumental helping them to discern God’s will in their life. I see that God’s hand has been waving to us and I believe He has something important that He wants to show us!

This Sunday will be the last Sunday to collect donation for the “Pack of Love” community project. May I encourage you to pray and see how you could help the needy in the city of Milpitas!

Prayer requests:

1. Praise and thank God for His provision that we have more than enough to help others in need. Pray that we are willing to help.
2. Pray for our small group ministry that we would secure enough coaches to help care and support our small group leaders.
3. Pray for God’s grace upon those who have heard and understand Jesus’ love and sacrifice as well as their spiritual needs that they would make a commitment to become a Christian.
4. Pray for the students who accepted Christ during our Thanksgiving Gospel music night that their faith would grow strong and they would experience God’s guidance and grace daily.
5. Pray for our Mandarin ministry as the core members are going through a discipleship training with Pastor Chiu and Pastor Justin. Pray that they would build a strong foundation of their faith and be equipped to serve the Mandarin speaking people.
