2010.05.22 TGIS Service (Continued)

Message
Reverend Bong Thang from Myanmar delivered the message for us today.
He showed us some pictures of his church and family in Myanmar and of the conferences he preached at. He encouraged us that there are many enemy out there to hinder the Lord's work either directly or indirectly. He shared how the Myanmar government officials tried to bring trouble upon his church and stop the ministry from continuing. However, God answered their prayers and protected them from all these attacks. Hallelujah!

When we are in distress and trouble, don't be discouraged and remember these scriptures.

1 Thessalonians 5:16
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

God will definitely answer our prayers and send help to us.

Refreshments
There was a wedding earlier held at the main hall of the church. There were some left-over food so they were redirected to the TGIS's table. It was a feast! Today is Ritsu's last day with us so we all spent much time to say farewell to her and give her presents.

We are all going to miss Ritsu very much! She is a very lovely, cheerful lady who burns with passion for God and invites many people to TGIS. We pray that her life in New Zealand be blessed and that God work through her greatly.
Wayne also came back from Hawaii and he brought us some delicious Macadamia nut rice crispies. 

Here is a group picture of today! I hope everyone comes again~~~ See ya next week!
Thank God It's Saturday!!!
