Today, once again, we targeted our outreach to strengthen some new believers in the church or those who have accepted Jesus Christ last week. We divided into two groups. Kevin, Nathanie and Nicole went to Fa's home. They have arranged to meet with Fa and her husband (Wai), Wai's nephew (Chun) and a lady who lives in Fa's house (Fung) to go over the first chapter of a discipleship booklet. The session went really well and each of them showed a seeking heart towards God's words. Kevin also took the chance to encourage Wai as he still has the habit of smoking and finds it difficult to quit. All in all, it's evident that God is working through Fa to her friends and families.
Enoch, Elizabeth and Priscilla went to visit the shops workers on Carrera 22 who have accepted Jesus Christ last week. Marion and Carolina from the youth fellowship joined them as well. They first visited Lik, the owner of a candy & snack shop. They gave him a booklet of discipleship material in Spanish. Marion and Carolina invited Lik to study the discipleship lessons and also invited him to go to the spanish youth fellowship. Then they moved on to visit a couple, Chiu and Miu Yu. Chiu works at a Hi-Fi shop and Miu Yu works in a small grocery just a block from Chiu. Although it was difficult to talk long with them individually due to the the surroundings, the group encouraged them to continue to read the devotional booklet and go to the spanish fellowship. En-route to the last visitation, the group visited Isabel's (JuJu) grandma to say Goodbye. They saw Adolfo at the shop and they also went to see Adolfo's dad, Kwok Wa - one of the leaders of the church, as well. The last visit is for Miu Miu, a girl who works at a home supplies shop. Elizabeth and Priscilla introduced Marion and Carolina to her so that they can care for her spiritual needs continuously.
Wednesday night is again the church's prayer meeting. In addition to the regular chinese congregation, the mission team invited the spanish speaking youths to come for a special prayer meeting as well.

| Singspiration |
Kevin, Priscilla and Nathanie was in charge to hold the adults prayer meeting. The focus of this prayer meeting is to encourage them to learn how to pray publicly. After singspiration, Kevin and team continued to leverage the ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) praying pattern. But this time, everyone has to take turn participating in praying out loud. In God's grace, the prayer went really well and everyone had a chance to pray publicly.

| Adults' Prayer Meeting |
On the rooftop simultaneously, Enoch and Nicole led the prayer meeting for the spanish youths. They also introduced the ACTS praying pattern. To everyone's surprise and in awe of God's blessings, 26 youths came even knowing how danger it could be for them to be out at night. It was more than double the number of adults (12) who came. During the third part (T - Thanksgiving), Enoch asked the youths to try sharing things that they thanked God for. Amazingly, every single one of the 26 shared. It was evident that God was speaking to all of their hearts. Manuel, the spanish youth pastor, was also able to attend the prayer meeting. The mission team pray that God will use Manuel to strengthen the prayer mission for the youths.
