This past week, we transformed the church building into an "African Savannah" for Day Camp! Thanks to the awesome decorations team. #SFBCdaycamp2019 #daycamp #vbs #daycamp2019 #sanfranciscobiblechurch @ San Francisco Bible Church

Wednesday: Ellen shared her testimony at the weekly ladies fellowship. It was an opportunity to encourage them to abandon their ancestral idols and fully put their trust in Christ. John Knox has an evening men's bible study going through the book of Acts. Howard shared a devotional from James 4 and they all enjoyed an extended time of prayer. Pray for even long term church attendees that have not yet fully committed their lives to the one true God. ... #sfbc18stm

Another short term missions team has arrived in Japan--the Chuang family! After being fed by our missionaries, John and Becky Knox, we tackled the waist high weeds on the church grounds and now have a clear fence. Looking forward to a day of worship tomorrow and more praises to share. #sfbc18stm @ Moroyama, Saitama

Say hello to our second summer short-term ministry team, who will be departing for Argentina this Monday morning! Jean-Marc, Belinda, and David are so humbled and pumped for this opportunity to serve the Ramirez family and their community as a demonstration of SFBC's love and support for their ministry! Please keep them in your prayers as they come alongside these faithful missionaries to labor together for the advancement of the gospel, to the glory of God.

Today, we are sharing our prayer requests first for our remaining time here: Tomorrow, we will be helping with a youth meeting where we will be playing sports, making tacos, and having a message back at church. Please pray for our interactions with the young people and for John’s preparation to share the Gospel with them. On Sunday, Emily & Cindy will be giving their testimonies and Jasmine & Alex will be helping with the children for Sunday school. Please pray for open he...arts and minds for the attendees to acknowledge their need for a Savior. And Monday, we will be teaching our last classes. Please pray as we prepare for those lessons and also for us to finish strong as we get ready to return home! As for the picture below, these are some of the ladies who came to the women’s meeting. Please pray as many have yet to accept Christ! As always, thank you for your prayers, church family!!

Our last few days have been busy but this is Mrs. Esashi (a member of the Knoxs’ church) who made us (omiyage= souvenirs). We look forward to sharing them with you all! We’ve also been helping to teach English classes as well as prepare craft materials for their upcoming English camp (not pictured). Tomorrow, we will be sharing our testimonies and helping with Sunday school. Please pray for open hearts and minds to hear the truth of the Gospel! Thank you for your continued prayers!

We are spending our first day with the Knox’s and adjusting to the time difference. So far, it’s been really encouraging getting to know them and we have been tremendously blessed by their care in hosting us! Stay tuned for more updates to come as we ramp up our activities and get to know more of their community. Please pray for more opportunities to show the locals their need for the gospel! church family!
