Praise & Prayer items:

1. Praise God for protecting us not to go through with the purchase of the house on Beethoven Street. We just discovered that the owner's wife's name in the deed did not match with her current ID card. This would create a big legal hastle when we would go and register the property under the Mission's name. It would certainly complicate the issue with the current owners living in the States. This is probably the reason that they insisted to get the full payment before we could have a chance to register the property with the proper government agency.

2. Continue to pray for our building search for the San Borja Church.

3. Praise God for the significant increase of Sunday attendance at the San Borja Church.

4. Praise God for Derrick Chan from Westside Calgary Chinese Alliance Church who has started to serve the Lord with us until 3/27/2007.

5. Next year both Christina and I will have completed our 4-year term and we will be returning to the States for six months, from 4/9 to 10/9/2007. We are seeking the right pastor(s) to come to Lima to fill the vacancy left behind by us to continue our church ministries. My assistant, Pastor Miguel, and his wife Kumiko would need your prayer suport while they are here holding on to the fort during our long absence.

6. During our Home/Assignment in the States, we will be visiting churches and families. Pray that the Lord would guide us as how we schedule the time and make the plans in accordance to His will.

7. Continue to pray for the members of Los Olivos Church for the transformation of their spiritual lives.

8. Pray for the owners and workers in the "chifas" (Chinese restaurants). There are 4,000 to 6,000 chifas in Peru, 90% of them are in Lima. This is a vast mission field. Pray that the Lord would send and raise His choicest servants to minister to this special needed people group.



Thanks for praying for the Chinese in Peru!
