Whew! 'Nother week..

I can hardly believe another week has gone by already! Time flies when your havin' fun. A lot happenin'! The only night we had free this week was Monday..we had a lot of the same as last week. Tuesday we had an evangelism class at the Manzano's again, Wednesday we had evangelism class with the Browns, Thursday night we had revival service with the Elms, Friday night we were invited by the Browns to a Youth Workers Retreat in Ontario where Shane gave about a ten minute commercial about Evangelism on Purpose. The guest speaker for that evening was Robbie Emery who did a FANTASTIC job - http://www.apostolicimpact.com/
Saturday we did an evangelistic outreach with the Elms church.
We got eighteen bible studies! It was a miracle just to get people to stop long enough to do the surveys since it was about 105 degrees outside. And today (Sunday) we were with the Elms for their a.m. & p.m. service and with the Browns for their 12 o'clock service...the temperature dropped to 103 today :0) I don't remember the last time I sweated this much! It was a three-shower day. The picture to the right (that Shane & I are in) was at the Elms. Bro. Elms is pictured by Shane and the remaining six are all girls from Taiwan who are staying here for a month to help work at the Mission in downtown LA (one of the Elms works). The girls were SO sweet! I loved listening to them talk and I asked them a ton of questions about Taiwan. Also, they all received the Holy Ghost in service Sunday. Yesterday after Outreach Bro. Elms took Shane and I to the Mission they have downtown (on skid row). I was SO impressed. A Taiwanese sister by the name of Sis. Ami runs it. They feed the homeless once a day and hold services for them once a day. There is a great need for this kind of ministry here. Today was our last services with the Browns and the Elms, I'm going to miss all of them..
not sure what's next yet.

Saturday was Evangelistic Outreach in Pasadena (pictured above is Shane doing a survey)...we got nineteen bible studies! Oh, and today (Sunday) was a.m. service in LA, noon service in Pasadena and p.m. service back in LA. God moved mightily in all three services. Whew! That's all for now..

Hi Friends!




Last night (Thursday) we were in service with Bro. & Sis. Manzano.


Their church is located in Quartz Hill in the High Desert, north of the Los Angeles area. (http://www.theconnectpoint.com/)


It was our first service of a series we are starting with their church. Last night Shane did an introduction of the Bible Study and taught lesson 1. Over the next few weeks we plan to be with the Manzano's once a week. We will also be with the Browns. Love you all!

A Golden Update

Hi Everybody,
Just wanted to give an update on where we are at the moment.
This past Sunday we started a new revival with the Browns in Pasadena, California (www.lifechurchpasadena.com).
Pasadena is the sixth largest city in Los Angeles County with a population of around 146,000.
We covet your prayers in this venture..
God bless,
Rachel
