Prayer Requests

Here are the prayer requests as of May 9, 2008:

1. Thank the Lord for the safe return of Esther Lou, Leo and Phoebe Hung from their mission trip to LA, Peru, Argentina, Brooklyn New York, and Philadelphia. Thanksgiving to the support from all of the local churches.

Esther reported that in Peru, 40 people joined in the local evangelical events. They now have 2 full-time pastoral RM staff, and also planted 2 churches. There are over 10 local Christians in Chile hoping to start up RM, they do not have any pastors nurturing them at the moment. They ask for our help and prayers.

In Philadelphia, there are a number of Fu Zhou 福州 new immigrants and the local churches are struggling to provide for their spiritual needs. Many have the burden of immigration debt. Please pray for them.

A more detailed written report will be forwarded to this network soon.

2. Please continue to pray for Esther's onward journeys to China (Beijing & Xian) and Hong Kong in May. She will be attending the CCHC annual directors meeting in Hong Kong. Please pray that she may have sufficient rest and grace to complete her mission and sharing this time.
