A Glorious Day
A Glorious Day - Fundraising Lunch Event
Fundraising Lunch Event (8/24/2013) was a success in
so many ways and it was made possible because of God’s presence. He touched
many brothers and sisters in Christ willing to be involved in this new ministry
in Kyrgyzstan (His Work, of course). Our
hearts were so filled with joy and gratitude when people were coming in and
filling up the tables. We were smiling through tears for being so loved.
Our God is just so good! When we were hesitant if we
could even have 10 tables of attendees in such a short notice - when schools
are starting, many people we know are
travelling, and so many other events are happening on the same date, but He
gave us 17 tables at the very end. These people were from different churches
but with one purpose to glorify His name, enjoy the fellowship in Christ and to
serve God and men with one heart.
Everything was wonderful - a hearty worship with
hymns, thanksgiving prayer for good food to keep us fit to serve God, Cello
performance by a talented 13 year old young man – Joshua, a short sharing of
why we are starting the kindergarten project by John & Christa and of
course an excellent result of the fundraising of almost $40,000 during this
time, far more than we can hope for or even imagine. It could not be any better
and we just want to bow down before Him for His abundant provision and
blessing.
Thank you all, we love you so much! Even though we
cannot thank each one of you personally, but you know who you are and God does
too! We trust that He will bless all of us!
We are sure there will be more help coming as we are
speaking, but we are leaving our wonderful Bay Area Support Team to take care
of finance, for we are flying out of USA to Taiwan. We also thank God that
Typhoon has just left Taiwan for we may land smoothly in Taiwan.
Through this BLOG, we will keep you posted of our
journey with God. Again thank you for being our partners and remember that it
is your support that makes everything possible.

Preparation for Fundraising Lunch
There are many things to get ready for the Day and we want it to be a day to glorify His Name and also for all attendants to enjoy our God and what He has provided for us. We selected some hymns that we expect all people to sing to worship Him and we will also have a young man, Joshua to play cello for us.
The Friday before 8/23, some of us (the core team) will have a meeting at the restaurant to do the final planning such as table arrangement, checking out the sound system, the hookup for presentation, the placement for the "stage" etc. May whatever we do be pleasing to Him! So lift us up with prayers, for this is the first time we are doing such event.
See you on 8/24 at 11:00. We do expect around 150 people or more.

Give Thanks
For fundraising lunch we now have 17 tables. Again God gives us more than we asked for. We were only hoping for 10 tables. We praise God that our older son made us some ceramic vases that we are allowed to give away as part of fundraising.
