Newsletter September 2022

Written By Stephen Hosea

Salam dalam damai Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan bahwa Ia telah memimpin kita masuk ke bulan September ini. Kami harap ketika kita melewati waktu kita dari bulan ke bulan, kita semakin bertumbuh dalam pengenalan dan anugrah Tuhan Yesus, dan semakin giat melayani Tuhan serta berbuah bagi Tuhan, sehingga kita tidak sia-sia melewati hari-hari kita.

Bulan Oktober tanggal 23 sampai November 5, gereja kita akan mengadakan Study Tour ke Israel, Mesir dan Jordania dengan 32 peserta yang terdiri dari jemaat GII Azusa, San Jose dan San Francisco. Kami harap Study Tour ini akan membuat mereka merasa Alkitab menjadi hidup didalam pertumbuhan rohani mereka.

Demikian juga pada tanggal 25 November, Jumat sore, gereja kita akan mengadakan Malam Thanksgiving dengan bersantap malam bersama dengan Jemaat GII San Jose di Pearl Bay Restaurant di Fremont. Tujuan acara ini adalah untuk menaikan syukur kepada Tuhan dan juga menjangkau jiwa-jiwa yg baru. Harap jemaat dapat mendukung pelayanan ini dalam doa serta meluangkan waktu ini untuk mengikuti acara ini.

Kiranya Tuhan memberkati keluarga dan pelayanan saudara sekalian!
