  Pastor Chang was briefing us in the hotel while we had lunch

 5/18/08 (Sun) report

 
We went to Lima Alliance church to worship with them this Sunday morning.  Brother Zhang Wei preached.  Later, we joint their Sunday school and Limin shared in the Sunday school.  We were not schedule to do anything other than the worship, but Limin was prepared.
We went to Pastor Chang�s church in the afternoon.  Brother Zhang preached again.  Christina and I taught Sunday school.  Mostly are the teenagers from Sat. afternoon.  Christina taught the class and one boy, age 14 from China, (only 4 month ago), accepted the Lord. 
Tomorrow, we will do some visiting.
Pastor Chang and his wife, along with other 4 brothers and sisters from his church are going to Iquitos Monday morning 3:00am.
We are all physically exhausted.  We will rest after we have the evaluation time.
    This is last Sunday in Lima CAC, with their senior pastor Huang and wife.
 
Today 5/19 is relatively light.  We had morning devotion and did some preparations for the day.  And at around 2pm, 2 local brothers picked us up and went to another brother's restaurant.  We also met a sister there.  Since we have 3 local believers to guide us, we split our team into 3 groups.  We had visited 23 restaurants in Los Olivos.  Some of them we got chances to share our faith and some just simply denied. 
We got back to hotel around 10:15pm and had an evaluation of the day.
 
 
Today is Tuesday 5/20.
We went to San Baoja today to lead the 9am worship.  About 10 people attend the service.
After the worship, David Cheung and Christina stayed in the church to talk to a man who has a marriage problem.  David and Christina went over the faith with him and he accepted the Lord. 
Peter, Limin and Stephanie went to visit a family.  They used to go to church regularly but now has not been to church for awhile.  The husband had a  few years ago and now can't talk and can't walk very well.  He was at the hospital receiving treatment when we went.  By the time when we ready to leave, the husband came back.  Limin prayed for him.  The husband was very emotional and cried.  We encourage them to start to go to church and pray to the Lord. 
We were scheduled to do more visitations today.  But the time was running late, so we had to go back to hotel to take a rest, and do some preparation for mid-night.  Therefore, this will be the report for today.  Will report back to church tomorrow.
 
 
Today is May 21. We arrived Los Olivos gathering place about half hour early for setting things up for our play, The Gate of Heaven. And then we had some fellowship time with local
Chinese people, some of them are believers, most of them are not. Some of them arrived very late. We started our program at almost 1:00 am. Our program ran pretty smoothly as we were well prepared. The local people were all attracted into our program. They sang together with us during praise time and special music time although the songs were new to them. They were also touched by our good testimonies. Additionally, we played the slides sent to us by our Pastor Wang about the ShiChuan earthquake. There were donations from the locals toward the C&MA earthquake fund. At the end of our program, Christina called people to stand up who believes in Jesus. To our surprise, most people stood up as we were told that most of them were non believers. PTL!
This afternoon, we canceled our half day sight seeing and went visiting more people in San Borja District. We visited 6 targeted places. We got back to our hotel around 11:30pm.
Please pray for our safety for tomorrow's activity because we will go to the place that has security problems.
It's time for us to get rest again. We may skip reporting tomorrow until noon time on Friday.
 
 
May 23, Friday.
We held a gospel gathering event in San Juan District from 12:00am to 3:00am this morning. We came back to our hotel around 3:30am safely. Thanks for prayers of our brothers and sisters back home. We really appreciate their support. And we experience God's presence with us. There were about 25 people attended the event. Most of them were from Fu Jian Province. And most of them are involved in restaurant related work. As we planned, we had praise time, testimony, special music, a play (Gate of Heaven), and a slide show about Si Chuan earthquake. Brother Zhang Wei made the calling. There were about 5-6 people raised their hands. One special thing is that there is a lady who coordinated the local Chinese people to attend the event. But she is non-believer. Pastor Zhang has been spending a lot of time on her in past 3 years. She never raised her hand. This time, she raised her hand. PTL!
 we spent some time having fellowship with the local Chinese people. They all miss home. And they were happy to see mission teams. We believe that God has opened the door for them for their salvation, that they opportunities to be exposed to this kind of Gospel event. May they indeed receive God's mercy and salvation.
 
  Lima 5/24 STM
Dear Brothers and Sisters,.
Yesterday, Friday, 5/23 afternoon, we continued our visitations in San Borja.  We divided into 3 groups.  After the visitation, we had a take out meal at brother Yu's house along with some local believers.  We had a good fellowship time.
 
Today, Sat 5/24, we conducted the worship service in Los Olivios in the morning.  After the service, Pastor Chang took us to the Gospel Center in Chinatown.
At 4pm, the whole team led a youth fellowship in brother Zhu's house.  The 3 brother from our team played skit: Lost and Found.  The youths re-play the skit after us.  They had done a good job.  We are being invited to stay to have dinner with the Zhu's family.  Pastor and Mrs. Chang and other local believers will joint us. 
Please pray for us for the 2 worship services we are going to lead tomorrow.  Brother Cheung is going to preach in the morning in Lima CAC, and Christina is going to preach in San Borja Alliance Church.  And our safe trip home. 

We will try to send some pictures home tonight.  Pictures are in my computer now.
Thank you for your prayer and support.
  Word of appreciation from Rev. Michael Chang. PTL for what He has accomplished through the STM team:
 
Dear Brother David,
 
We just bid good bye to the five brothers and sisters from LIAC at their hotel. They are on their way to the airport. It was an intense week filled with ministries in various ministry points in Lima. By the grace and protection of the LORD, the team members did everything that the scheduled plan demanded and beyond.
 
I simply want to express my personal appreciation to you and the LIAC entire congregation who have been fully behind this STM effort in supporting the needs here in Lima. May the LORD richly reward each of the STM team members/families and the LIAC!
 
In Him,
 
Pastor Michael
