"‘J' has been teaching English to a lady every week, but the other week just before Christmas during one of the lessons, the subject of God came up. Over the course of two weeks, ‘J' was able to present her with the Good News. She was so hungry for truth and life and took on the Lord completely. Lessons turned into times to pray and discover more of this new life together. Please lift this lady up in prayer, particularly for her to be able to plug into a local fellowship." - ‘J & K', based in West China
This intercession trip was a true highlight in my walk with the Lord. It was so great to be on team, with the fun and camaraderie, the delight at being among the beautiful Tibetan people, and the humbling experience of meeting full-time workers.

Thank you so much to all who prayed with us as we sought to find an Operations Director to take responsibility for the administrative and operational side of the ministry of Antioch Missions - Chinese Church Support Ministries.

The Antioch School of Missions, based in China, seeks to serve the Body of Christ by equipping and releasing individuals and families who are passionate for His cause in China. The school currently accommodates an average of five to seven students with a goal of expanding to 10-15 per year. Three ASM programs are offered: a six-month ‘mini' course that runs from late August to February; an 11-month ‘gap year' course; and an 11-month ‘full' course for those considering long-term service in China. The last two programs run from late August to July each year. Further details can be found at www.asmchina.org.

We started in the south where we were to work with some friends. My son had met ‘B' three years ago. B had just become a believer at that time and was now leading a small team in an outreach to university students.
