Prayer Letter for October 2011

Fra Gloria Wu, Hunan Bibel Institutt.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Time flies. Do you know, you have prayed for HBI for 12 months, a year. Thank you for your commitment. In the passed year, I enjoyed getting touch with you every time. Let us look forward to another blessed year, pray and work together.

October 1-9, we have National Day holidays. I arrived at Zhangjiajie city in mountain area in the west of Hunan on September 30^th with my three-year-old son, my husband and nanny of my son. At the same time, I brought a group of students, 12 all together to Zhangjiajie church for 4 days preaching and worship meeting. After my family and all the students left this afternoon, I still stay here to teach in a leadership training class until the last day of my holiday October 9.

Sorry for the lateness of this month’s prayer letter. I was invited to baptize several new believers and had to listen to some church leaders’ stories. I only got spare time tonight.

I am glad now I am writing to you again for this month’s prayer request:

1) I will teach the whole day tomorrow and preach on this Sunday, please pray for Zhangjiajie church and church leaders in Zhangjiajie area. They seldom have chances to attend training class or conference, so pray they will have a bigger vision in His field after this time’s class.

2) Praise the Lord I have finished one assignment in Leadership Development before Ocotober 7. In the following days of this month, I should finish all the assignments on Theology of Mission. I need your prayers. Study and working at the same time is a big challenge. I hope I can struggle through by the grace of God.

3) Rev. Chen in these national holidays drives his van visiting churches in the west part of Hunan, including Changde, Zhangjiajie, Huaihua and Loudi. Please pray for his safe driving and wisdom when he talks with church leaders.

4) October 23-25, I will teach a leadership training class in Changde. Please pray for me. These church leaders are from countryside. May God help me teach them efficiently.

5) Pray for wisdom of our HBI’s leadership, so that we will know how to make theological theory and mission work together in theological education. We want our students to have ability to enter into this world, not only enter into churches, to be testimony for our Lord Jesus Christ.

6) Pray for the leadership of Hunan Christian Council. Next year we will have election, which is once five years.

7) Our new campus is going to open construction in this month, says Rev. Chenzhi. Let’s praise the Lord for it!

Pastor Wu ved Hunan Bibel institutt Bønnebrev for september 2011 PÅ NORSk

1. september 2011.

Bønnebrev for september 2011 fra pastor Gloria Wu ved Hunan Bibel Institutt (HBI).

Kjære brødre og søstre!

I augustmåneden er skolen vår alltid full av spenning og overraskelser. Snart er to uker med sommerleir der tilbedelse har stått i sentrum, slutt, og vi føler at hele HBI står i brann. Denne måneden har vi flere ting å be for:

1) Vi vil takke Gud for disse to ukene med sommerleir i tilbedelsens tegn; fra 22. august til 2. september. I den første uka opprettet vi skolekoret vårt, og i den andre uka fikk mange troende fra hele Hunan lære Gud å kjenne gjennom tilbedelse.

2) Denne sommeren har pastor Chenzhi, presidenten i Hunan Kristne Råd og HBI reist rundt og besøkt kirker i WenZhou by og Zhejiangprovinsen. Han fikk en visjon for Hunankirken, og det var å opprette et organisasjon for barnas søndagsskole. Vær med og be for visjonen hans, siden vi må få alle kirkene i Hunan til å arbeide for å sette denne tjenesten ut i praktisk handling.

3) Vær også med og be for det nye semesteret, og særlig for de nye studentene. Etter å ha intervjuet hver ny student dette semesteret, takker vi Gud fordi han har sendt slikt et godt studentkull til vå skole. De fleste nye studentene har år med tjeneste i kirken bak seg, og de er svært reflekterte og dyktige.

4) Den 18. til 21. september vil pastor Chenzi og Gloria ha et kurs (workshop) på en konferanse i Nanjing. Kurset har som formål å lære videre hvor viktig det er å skaffe midler til et nytt prosjekt. Bak dette prosjektet står NMS og Nanjing Amity Foundation. Vi ønsker å lære videre hvordan vi kan skaffe midler til skolen vår via kirkene i Hunan. Etter denne konferansen håper at flere kirker i Hunan vil se viktigheten av teologisk utdannelse - slik at mer kunnskap om Guds ord kan få dypere røtter i kirkene i Hunan.

5) Da flere kirker i Hunan kommer til å arbeide for kirkespedning, vær god og be for styrke og visdom for kirkelederne.

Prayer Letter for September 2011

Dear brothers and sisters,

The August for our school is always full of excitement and surprise. Two weeks of Worship Summer Camp today is close to the end, and we feel that the whole HBI is on fire. This month we have several things to pray for:

1) We would like to give thanks to God for these two weeks of Worship Summer Camp, from August 22-September 2. The first week we began to establish our school’s choir, and in the second week, many believers from all around Hunan experienced God in worship. More churches would like to begin new worship style and cell groups.

2) This summer, Rev. Chenzhi, the president of Hunan Christian Council and HBI, went to visit churches in Wenzhou city of Zhejiang province. He got a vision for Hunan church and that is to establish Children’s Sunday School system. Please pray for this vision, since we are going to move all Hunan churches to work on children’s Sunday School ministry.

3) Please pray for the new semester, for new students especially. This semester after giving interview to every new student, we give thanks to God for He sent such a good student body to our school! Most new students have years of ministry experiences in the church and they are high intelligent.

4) September 18-21, Rev. Chenzhi and Gloria will have a fundraising workshop in Nanjing. This project is from NMS and Nanjing Amity Foundation. We want to learn how to do fundraising for our school among Hunan churches. Hopefully, after this conference, more Hunan churches will know the importance of theological education and at the same time, theological education can root deeper into Hunan churches.

5) As more churches in Hunan are going to do cell group church, please pray for strength and wisdom of the church leaders during the transforming process.

Thank you!
