Nininho and Raiana are a couple who works at the China Taiwan
restaurant. They have demonstrated interest in spiritual matters for
last few years, but this year they have taken their search more
seriously, not missing a Bible study or church meeting and sharing what
they learn from the Bible with their relatives.
This has been a rough month for Raiana: a close sister-in-law (34 years
old with a two month old baby) died suddenly, possibly from a heart
condition plus dengue fever. Raiana was devastated but amazed at the
strength God has given her during this difficult period.
The month of April is ending a lot more joyful: after studying baptism,
both were baptized into Christ at 1 a.m. after our midnight Bible study
at the restaurant. Thirty people were present to witness their birth.
We know that God can do anything. The question is what will He do? What will the Lord do in the lives of His people when they consecrate themselves to Him? We hope to find out. Friday, May 22 nd , the Luna congregation had an all night vigil of consecration. We went from 9 pm to 5:30 am, and over 50 people participated, from the ages of 10 to 75 years. In the prayer corner, brothers and sisters signed up for time slots so that we would have prayer without ceasing. The vigil focused on Consecrating our Lives, in Gratitude, in Unity, in Service, and in Sharing . Each part consisted of prayer, singing, Bible Reading and Reflection, and practical activities, like in Service, we washed everyone’s feet, and then everybody joined in making breakfast for the group: homemade bread, fruit, tapioca and eggs, juice, and coffee. In Sharing, we ended with a wonderful meal together in family, talking about people with whom we want to share the gospel. Spend
