Dear brothers and sisters,

Thank God in April there will be a Chinese evangelistic meeting in Concordia University. Room H-110 will be used, which can seat 700 people!  Now the brothers and sisters in Concordia Chinese Christian Fellowship (CCCF) are working hard to prepare for the meeting. As each of us already has tons of study or work to do, we feel weak and helpless in face of such a big task. Please pray for us that God will give us strength to do His work well.

We do believe that God's word needs to be heard in Concordia, where so many Chinese are studying hard for success. Of course success is good, but people tend to think, "life is a game and the guy who own most toys win." They don't know that everyone will face God one day and God is the final judge of everything.

Then, what can we do to please God? The following verses in 2 Timothy 2:20-22 may help:

²⁰In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. ²¹If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
²²Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

(from New International Version)

While everyone of us is busy working for a living, we should remind ourselves that man does not live on bread alone. God want us to be clean and holy, pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. It is why He created us in the first place, right?

May the love of God be with you,

Haiying  

P.S: The evangelistic meeting is in the evening of Friday, April 4, please mark your calendar and bring your friends to the meeting. The location is Concordia University Hall Building H-110. Dr. Nie Shuquan will be the speaker.
