This week:
--Amechi started his 2nd weekly 12 Foundation Stones Bible Class. (oh, right! You didn't know he started his first...)
--University witnessing went well & we're all the closer to starting our seminar there in earnest.
--Last Sat of the month fellowship was today and was...well, special. Good in the end, though..we waited for about an hour with only one guest, who we happily & cordially entertained as we'd gone through all the trouble of baking, cleaning, preparing, planning, etc.
But then lo & behold, another 6 or 7 people show about around the same time (an hour late, all of them..) so in the end we did all we'd planned & it was a good, power-pact little time.
--Our attack day yesterday resulted in about 80 books out & lots of mags.
That's the update, I think!
More later (w/ pics)

Pray for the people of Sichuan Province, China!
For most of us, that's all we can do...but it's the most & the best we can do at this time. The people of China need our prayers!
The situation is beyond desperate. It seems so sad & hopeless, but I'm praying that God will (and partly through our prayers) be able to bring some good out of all this for His children there that were affected by this earthquake.
A week ago only & already the death toll is nearing 35,000, with more than 250,000 injured. That's a quarter of a million people. Previously I could only imagine what the people were going through, but through indvidual stories of people's lives affected, I'm starting to be able to feel an infintesimal fraction of what these people are feeling. Stories like the one I saw on a news clip on my computer today about a boy, who, being the only son to middle-aged farmers, lost both of his arms while climbing out of school during the quake. He cried (and I did too) while laying in the hospital telling the reporter how he begged the doctors to save at least one of his hands. His parents were having a hard time knowing whether or not it would have been better if he died.
But the father gave an encouraging word despite it all...he told his son:
"Rest! Recover first! Then we'll talk about the future! Don't forsake your hopes & dreams! Life goes on!"
Talk about hope in the absolute thick of despair...my prayers are with him, his family & all the people of Chengdu & Sichuan Province...as I know yours will be too..

Activated Youth Outreach...
as the name of our new university outreach project goes...
We just started it a couple weeks back in light of the offensive...cool!
We've started going weekly & have already distributed more than 50 activated magazines & sold 20 books (last week alone, first week was to establish contact/get the program authorized by the university administration). This stand is to create awareness about the program & once we're a bit more established, we'll start seminars (on the Endtime & other topics) in an indoor venue there, as well as a 12 Foundation Stones Bible study.
Please help us by praying for:
a) the continued development of the project in (it's still in the beginning stages), and
b) also pray specifically that we can win souls & disciples through this to help spread the message/further the cause.
AMEN!!
That's all for now. Will keep you posted!

Mom's Day!
My Mom had just had her B'day!
Anyone who knows her will agree that she's really just the best (that's an accurate description in her case)...
Anj put a pretty good description of her on her
blog too (better than this one actually...what's up
w/ that?)..check it out on the first link in my 'links' section..
I've already congratulated Mom with cards, calls, prophecies, etc.
But you all who know her can drop her a little line here in the comments box & then i'll get her to look them up.
Let's surprise her, shall we?
Happy Birthday, Mom!
WLY!
