Presence
MINISTRY UPDATE Dear Supporters of Presence Ministry, Summer has come to an end; were you a part of Presence’s exciting summer? Presence Ministry has organized many events: two Community Events, seven Christopher Yuan 2008 Life-Transforming events in Southern and Northern California, seven Evangelism and Counselors Trainings and a weekend Youth Summer Camp. Through all these events, Presence reached out to over 4,200 individuals and families. At the events in Southern California alone, 38 people made a decision for Christ, and 39 expressed their desire to learn more about the Christian faith. As the Presence staff work with local churches in the follow-up efforts, many heart-warming stories were related to us about the transformed lives of people at different life stages and with various challenges in life. We remain in awe of God’s life-transforming power! In the parenting ministry department, we featured a Parenting Seminar in September, titled “What Every Parent Must Know About Their Kids and the Computer” Parents who attended this seminar were equipped with knowledge and information to better guide their children in the internet age. Much more ministry opportunities avail us this fall and into 2009. We thank you for being a part of God’s work through Presence. We covert your continued support as we press forward with more ways to connect churches to work together to reach our communities.
