BROTHER JEFFERS' VISIT TO HARBIN

I had published my mission trip to Harbin on this blog (see below) titled "Mission Trip to the Freezing land". Bro Peter wrote this report to update the fellowship in Harbin. Peter with the fellowship members in his room during the fellowship

As from 2009.01.16 to 2009.01.18, Brother Jeffers visited Harbin with an aim of strengthening the Harbin Fellowship and updating them about International Students & Workers Ministry (ISWM) activities. Harbin Fellowship has never participated in ISWM activities before because they were not aware of its existence. We thank God for Brother Jeffers for visiting and making us aware. Some brethren will be attending this year's Winter Conference at Beijing because of his encouragement.

On arrival (Friday) to Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), Brother Jeffers organized a fellowship which was well attended. Through the fellowship, healing and forgiveness was experienced because he managed to bring together brethren who had some differences that had even made the former fellowship to stall. Many have given testimony that God sent the brother at a timely moment when even saints were not talking to each other. Through our brother’s visit the fellowship is re-birthed and there is a lot of Godly Love between the brethren. We pray that God sustains this new start of the fellowship so that it grows. Stand with us in Prayer please.

On Sunday, Brother Jeffers visited the Harbin International Fellowship. The Fellowship is composed of foreigners who include business people, English teachers and students from all universities in Harbin. The members are very committed to the Lord. Jeffers managed to talk to the Fellowship including its leadership. It was quite encouraging and re-fuelling. He gave them some spiritual and numerical growth techniques which once implemented; the challenge will be where to worship from because of the big numbers since the current worship place is small.

From the short interaction I had with Brother Jeffers as we also toured Harbin Central Street, frozen Songhua River and the Sun Island among other places, he is a committed servant of God. We highly appreciate Brother Jeffers visit to Harbin and may God Bless him and Bless all those involved in the God’s Ministry work. We look forward to meet the brother again and other brethren soon.

My Mission trip to Changchun (Jilin) can be seen through Mathews blog by clicking this link, http://mathewyakai.blogspot.com/2009/01/up-date-on-trip-to-harbin.html. I thank God for these fruitful trips. I appreciate the Central Steering Committee (CSC) and Regional Steering Committee (RSC) for their support. These committees are the overseers of organizing conferences for all the foreigner passport holders here in China.

  3. Congratulation Jeffers! God has chosen you where you never knew where, how, and what place or country He will use you for His KINGDOM. Before you were born He choose China for you to evangelize before His coming. By reading and seeing all that you done really amazes me to witnessing such impact you leading in God's work in China. Well done, and always know that there is someone out there praying for young people like you. God bless!

    For Him,
