Day 3 - First Fruit

God is amazing! Praise the Lord that He has brought us here to reap His harvest! And thank you for your fervent prayers and support. This evening after the worship service (the service here begins at 5:30pm) a lady came up to Joe and Betty and wanted to speak to them about accepting Christ. After hearing her out and sharing the Four Spiritual Laws with her, Joe led her in saying the sinner's prayer. Hallelujah! She was so ready to accept the Lord; however, she didn't know how to. This incidence resembled so much the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch recorded in Acts Ch. 8. The Lord sent us here to reap! Glory and Honor to Him!

Several other people came up to us to ask questions and wanted to know more about knowing God. The team members are happy that we were sent here to serve in the field.

Before worship, Jethro led the youth group meeting. Betty sat in on the session and thought that Jethro did a really good job sharing with the group and challenged them to commit themselves in studying the Word of God and developing a closer relationship with God. Jethro will meet with the group again next Sunday.

After worship, Betty met with the Single Adult Fellowship group and led them in the study of the Book of Joshua Ch. 3. We had a really good discussion on faith and obedience. The meeting ended at 9:45pm. We left the church at a little after 10pm and had dinner at a Chinese restaurant nearby. We finished dinner at 12am and arrived at home at around 1am. Yea, that's the lifestyle in Spain!
Please continue to lift us up in prayers as we will meet with the Cantonese speaking fellowship group on Tues. evening, Single Adult group again on Christmas Eve, lead worship on Christmas Day, etc. etc. in the upcoming week. Please also pray for the Madrid Chinese C&MA Church as there are many needs within the congregation. They will be moving their meeting location at the end of the month as the lease of the current building is terminating. They have found a place; but I'm sure there'll be some adjustments to be made. Got to go to sleep now. It's 3:25 am.
