Thank God! By His blessing, we had a wonderful outreach with neighbors, new friend and members (11 people) on Thanksgiving dinner. Praise Lord!
Praise Lord! Neighbors followed with us in praising songs, sharing, and praying.
No cultural limitation: Basically, neighbors quietly accept Asian food and enjoy it very much. Through conversation, we have a cultural exchange in language. For example, how to say, “Spasibo” with Rasian meant “Thank you!” Moreover, one of neighbors shows where their country - “Kiev, Ukraine” is with earth plate (ball). They gave us feedback what the top 3 of Asian food we prepared last night.
Praise songs: we sang “How Great Thou Art and Amazing Grace” together. They enjoy it and one of neighbors said, “Amen!” with me. It is awesome
Testimonies: We prepare personal testimony that I adopt Pastor Dan’s suggestion to use pictures, slide show to present them how God grow me in Canaan to the neighbors. For examples, I shared how God arranges me in Canaan by CGs, friends and how God through me be a blessing to bless other people. Besides, I try to show the Gospel sort of while I am presenting God’s love and grace. Thank God! Another is from new friend, Paul Chen in CSJ, whose testimony shows how he becomes Christian, and how he used to experience things in the past by God’s healing and love, touchable sharing. Finally, we encourage neighbors to share how they want to thank this year. They do. One of neighbors shared that they never go to church, but this is first time in Church. Thank God!
Praying together: After dinner, praise songs, testimony, we pray them in person.
One of neighbors, Ohga told me who could feel “warm” after we pray for her. I knew it is “Immanuel.” I am certainly sure that God has dinner with us because the circumstance is extreme warm as we are in garage. I can see the joy on each of us’s check with blush. Thank God! It is about Him!
God’s good work:
Romans 8:28 “28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
At the beginning, as starting to invite neighbors for Thanksgiving dinner, we lack of people to help due to holidays. However, by God’s grace, our father still arranges several good brothers and sisters to help out for this event. Thank God.
Thank God through Melody (CSJ) to call neighbors sharing time with me in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you!
Thank God through Hanlin’s girlfriend, Christine who gives me a ride in Marina Supermarket, Farley and my place. Thank you!
Thank God through Paul Chen to lend me kitchen utensil, pick Turkey up, prepare fruit, testimony, talks to neighbors, and clean it up. Thank you!
Thank God through Eon to prepare rice and help out many things in details and talk to neighbors, and clean it up. Thank you!
Thank God through Syeffy’s faith to work out everything. Thanks William! Thanks Syeffy’s mom. Thank you! a
Thank God to give me extreme passion: I could finish over 100 dumplings for neighbors and friends until mid-night. Thank God to be with me when I cook alone. I thank God to encourage me often as I prepare materials. I thank God to protect me when I got bike accident without frustration. Thank Lord in everything.
It is wonderful and touchable Thanksgiving in Canaan 07. May the seeds have been planted to grow in His timing. Praise You, Lord! Happy Thanksgiving! Amen and Amen
God bless you ALL!
