Salam dalam sukacita Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan bahwa pada akhir bulan September tanggal 30, jemaat gereja kita bisa mengunjungi Scott’s Villa Nursing Home di Hayward, CA untuk memberitakan injil kepada orang-orang tua yang tinggal disana. Mereka sangat senang atas kunjungan kita dan sangat responsive terhadap pujian-pujian dan firman yang kami sampaikan, serta doa dengan mereka secara pribadi. Kami harap mereka selalu dipenuhi dengan damai dan harapan Tuhan Yesus. (Video singkat dapat dilihat di akhir newsletter)
