Celebrating
their 10th Anniversary at New
On Sunday, October 15th the
congregations of New Life gathered to celebrate 10 great years of ministry. David and Jing
arrived in the fall of 1996 to launch our Chinese ministry. This ministry grew into 2 separate congregations,
Mandarin and Cantonese.
Jing serves in several areas,
Missions President, Mandarin Worship Leader and helps guide the Friday night
fellowship.
Their 2 children, Josiah and Dorcas are growing up before our eyes and are now fully
engaged in activities such as teen and children’s quizzing, district events,
and music ministry. We
thank God for their dedication and faithful service to the people of New Life.

牧會十週年
十月十五日當天中午全教會將慶祝許牧師牧會十週年。他們於1996年秋天開始推展本教會中文部的事工，以至中文部發展為今天的國語部及粵語部。
許師母積極參與宣教工作、崇拜領詩、星期五晚上的國語部團契等多項事奉工作。
他們的一對兒女許文浩、許羚也在教會中成長，現在分別加入青少年及兒童教會及區會活動，以及音樂事工。
我們為他們的奉獻及忠心的服事而感謝主，當天請與我們一起來慶祝

1. The positioning of the church as a center for Chinese
people, their interests, and worship opportunities.
2. The presentation of the gospel message for the first time at
the annual festival. Reverend Paul Lam
shared a brief gospel message, the Chinese congregation sang and Tina Fung sang
with the children of the church giving interpretative motions.
We rejoice in the effective use of the resource God has
given.
We just
launched our "one church" youth ministry under Pastor Amer's Khokhar leadership. The first night we had 70 in attendance and
know of 30 who were at the city wide Harvest crusade from Spanish
congregation. We have the capability to go over 100 youth very soon. Praise the
Lord.

"Inventing new ways to love people"....
1. We rejoice in ministries begun at The Point that connect
with the needs and interests of our community. We now have 84 people who have
registered in our Tuesday through Friday program of ESL, exercise and
citizenship classes! We are enjoying getting acquainted with our neighbors!
2. We found out that a local college could not accommodate the
overwhelming interest in badminton. This is a sport relished in Chinese
culture. So now Friday evenings at The Point our gym is full of badminton and
is pulling together people from other cultures.
3. An organization called Kids Club has come to our church
because of our international composition. This organization has begun 23

Missionaries and Christmas
Have
you sent your LINKS missionary a Christmas package yet? It is not too late if you do it in the next
couple of weeks and send it by air.
Remember them somehow, whether a package or a blitz of cards, or a gift
of cash sent to the General Treasurer for them. Maybe you will choose to do all three, but
please do something. Let them know that
the Nor Cal Nazarenes appreciate all they do on the
mission field.
Thanksgiving
and World Missions
An
opportune time to think about all the “things” that God has given to us. How grateful are we for His provisions in our
life. Whether we are rich or poor, the
Lord has given to us this occasion to live and give to Him. In a couple of weeks your church will be
taking the Thanksgiving offering for World Missions. Give something special to the Lord not just
because there is an offering, but because you are truly thankful for the
blessings you have been given.
Missionary Kids
Attending Point Loma
We
have the privilege of blessing two students at Point Loma whose parents are on

a dollar or two and you will bless them and the Lord will bless you. Here is all of the information, plus a word

Day of Prayer
Sunday, November 12th, all Nazarenes
have been encouraged to join Christians around the world to pray for the

How to Pray…
·
Pray for them to know that when their persecutors strike it is an
indication that God is working and their enemies see spiritual battles being
won for God.
·
Pray that they will see the church growing around them.
Persecution inevitably leads to growth.
·
Pray for God’s presence to go with them into and through their
persecution. Ask God to keep them strong and true.
·
Pray for their families and fellow believers, that they will be
strengthened. Ask God to be with their families often left with no means of
financial or emotional support.
·
Pray for the salvation for their enemies and persecutors.
·
Pray for the world not facing persecution that God will remind us
to continue to uphold those who are suffering.
