What are we doing on the 2nd week?

We haven't posted much details on the 2nd week so far, but here's a summary of the plans / schedule:

  • 2 day outreach event at the Romani settlement, we are expecting to see 250 kids!
  • Lessons/workshops throughout the day/night for HOM kids which includes: English, Devotion (Jonah), Chinese Painting, Photography for Kids, Playdoh modelling, Juggling, and Piano! We hope this will be useful and fun for the kids and also a break for the HOM staff.
  • HOM staff retreat which includes topics on First Aid, Play Therapy, Discipline, and various planning.
  • Bedside Fellowship with the HOM kids
  • Talent night to end the week off!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers and also for all the translators that will be helping us!

Frantic Promo Prep

This week is our team's frantic preparation for our presentation to the Cantonese / English / Mandarin congregation. We are also in the mist of setting up the display for the foyer as well as inserts for the various bulletins. Look for us this coming Sunday service in the English and Mandarin service (April 26th) and in the Cantonese service on May 3rd.

Go. Awareness.

Working on a series of posters to raise awareness for Mission + Ukraine. One of the my main goal from Promo/PR perspective is to develop ways to relate and retain the Mission trip (or Mission in general) in the congregation's minds + prayers. Not just on Sunday, but every day.go_calls_you_sm

PTL!

God has provided a full prayer team for me...and more! Praise the Lord! I am definitely feeling "not together" with regards to the preparation before us (a prayer request!). But I know that having our needs brought before the Lord is the best way for these needs to be provided for. So again, Praise God!

Our Group Devotional Study

As a team we wanted to keep each other spiritually accountable and unified in God's word so we've decided to follow a book; "Philippians: Run the Race", as our group devotional study. Our books should arrive this coming week!Here's a short blurb on the book:

Life as a follower of Christ is not a fifty-yard dash. It's a marathon.

God offers strength for the race, cold water to quench our thirst, and fresh legs when we grow weary. We never run alone. He is always right beside us cheering us on or ahead of us leading the way. Do you need energy and refreshment for the race of life? In Philippians, find all you need to run with strength and confidence. If you desire joy beyond measure, perseverance, a servant's heart, hope for the future, a peace beyond understanding, and lasting contentment, look no further than Philippians. This study includes six sessions ideal for group or individual study.
