1.Thanksgiving for the Sprouting of God’s Seeds
We thank God, the Cantonese “Spiritual Life Formation Course” and the SF1 students in the US and Canada completed their phase of study in mid-April. They experienced God’s touch and encountered the Lord in their devotional practices; the “seeds of God” began to sprout in their lives. For this, we give thanks.
Please pray that the small groups continue to build supportive and accountable peer relationships; and that the course reviews help them frequently return to the Lord, allowing their lives to take deeper root.
2.Celebrating the Ripe Fruit of God
The SF3 students, spanning Asia and America, completed their three-year course and held an online graduation ceremony on April 23. With the support of teachers, the community, and small groups, they learned to let go of roles, return to God’s presence, and rediscover themselves and others through God’s love, experiencing the life-shaping process of “chaos, transformation, and rebirth.”
We give thanks and celebrate the fruit of their lives, and we pray that God will continue to guide them to listen to His voice, faithfully respond to His invitation, and more deeply understand God’s will for this generation, so that God’s will may continually be accomplished in their lives.
3.Prayer and Watch for the Silence Camp
The Western US Silence Camp, “Listen – Speak, Servant Listens,” will be held from May 29-31, with 51 teachers and students participating. We pray that God will ensure the smooth running of all arrangements and that He will prepare the body and soul of each participant, making their hearts soft and open, so that they may encounter and connect with the Lord in silence, and follow Him more deeply. May Christ prosper, and we decline!
