Emergency Prayer!!

Some of you may or may not have known 'Guo Qiang' (Group 3). He is quite new in the church, and currently he is facing a situation that really need us to pray for him and his family.

The recent news relates to the Buddhist monks creating an uproar in Rangoon, Burma (Guo qiang's hometown i think). There had been lots of protest and riots among the Burma militant's against the Buddhist monks and civilians. There has been reported lots of innocent people killed without mercy, among them was a Japanese reporter. Currently, Guo Qiang havent been in contact with his family for more than 1 week! His family has to stay home for their own safety or else they face danger. I believe Guo Qiang wish very much to be with his parents and 3 siblings, yet he cant help. He need prayers!

Lets pray to Our Father in Heaven for the safety of Guo Qiang's family, the peace among the Burmese so that the bloodshed would end and Guo Qiang's peace of mind.

to my prayer partner

Have you been busy? whatever, god will be with you and give you help whenever you need. I hope I can know you more. Anyway, tell me what is your pray list, I can pray for you. If you see this msg, plz get touch with me.
Here is my pray list for this week
1) I feel a little bit upset this week, plz pray to god to help me out.
2) For my health, plz pray to god to treat me both mental and physical
3) Again, my future and looking for a job

Cheers, God bless

Thank you from JoJo

Thank you for all your comments on my confession. They are so encouraging and touching and I read it with tears. I pray everyday that Jesus Christ shines on the darkness of my heart and purifies me. I know I am very disobedient and naughty daughter of God. But praise our Lord, He never gives up us. The process of transformation is unpleasant and uncomfortable, and I thank God that He granted me you guys, my dear sisters and brothers, and my other church families to support me. And I pray we all live together to be His living sacrifice.

For God, He promosed, " I will not forgive you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands." (Isaiah 49:15-16)
For me, I want to say, " I will not forgive you! maybe you can't see, but I have engraved you on the tablet of my heart." (from Joanna's heart).

by the way, I encourage the boys in Group 2 to follow up Bo, the new friend, more. I don't feel very comfortable and confident in contacting him too often personally and i don't want to make any wrong impression. I will try my best to look after the girls. Sorry, but I am glad we are a team :) his cellphone is 0210613222

Pray for all the new friends
love,

JoJo

hello dear all

i had a good time with you in the afternoon.
thank you for the yummy food.
and jimmy is really an expert on games leading!

i am not good at express myself, but really wanna say thank you, so i rather write instead of talk to you face by face.

i feel sad about some ppl are leaving next year..don't like this time of the year... to imagine our group time without laugher from joanna, christine and sunny, or even george, really feel like missing something. Do you agree?

i wanna say "thank you" to all of you, i know you guys have being looking after me since beginning of the semester. it was my first time to be a group leader, i really don't know what to do and how to do. sorry about my bad leading skill, and i should care more about you guys. feeling guilty...

i wish you all have a great study period toward your exams,

GO,GO GO,Group 2

That was an awesome afternoon, thanks to all of you, my dearest brothers and sisters. Everyone turned up and prepared (bought) nice food, really delicious!!! Sigh, I have to go to gym to work hard next week. Thank God for leading each one of us in His way, giving us lots of lovely people around. We have all learned different tasks and experienced different things, so it was really nice to know what others have learned from God. God is always the same, God is faithful, God knows all..... How Great He Is, Right? Im sure our new friends have had a good time too, keep praying for them. Yeah, definitely we need to keep in touch, no matter where we will be and doing in 10 years time, always remember Group 2 and we have met in Christ. Thank Jimmy to open his flat for us to have this gathering, thank Derek for his wonderful music... Thank Nelson and George always be our "taxi" drivers... All the very best to everyone, working hard for exams and assignments. Keep wakling with God, He strengthens us, His grace is always sufficient.

This week for 10/40 window we are going to pray for China. Pray for the Housed Church movement in mainland China. It is growing fast but it needs mature church leaders who can give good teaching and training to the many converts. Pray that the present openness in the midst of opposition may be used to the full.

Thank God, Thank Him for everything He has done for us. Praise the Lord!
Amen
