Sharing from Pastor Chen

Dear All,

I would like to thank all the brothers & sisters who gave your time, money & dedication to prepare for our new students' welcome event last Saturday & church building fundraising event last night. We had about 25 new students/guests attending our orientation event & lunch (appreciate meal preparation from our Gatineau group), & about 150 participants (around 60% are guests not attending OMAC). Once again we have experienced God's grace together! Ming-I & I feel very blessed to serve at our home church with all of you & with the guidance from our Lord.

During the fundraising dinner last night, I read a letter sent by one of our ex-members, who currently lives in the US. She supports our building project wholeheartly -- she mentioned in her letter that she could only sends us $1,000 offering this time, because she is unemployed now. She will continue to support OMAC with prayer & offering once she finds a job. I am very touched by the love demonstrated by our brothers & sisters, whether they are current OMAC members or ex-members who are in other local churches, other cities or countries.

Please continue to pray for our student ministry, especially for our co-workers ZHU Dong, Echo & Jonathan. Pray that more OMAC brothers & sisters are willing to support campus ministry, and also that more student leaders will rise to lead this ministry together with our co-workers.

During last night's dinner we showed the audience our building project progress & 3D new church building presentation (by our architect). We will show it to our congregation again this coming Sunday (Sept.19) during our Sunday service. Here is the link to the 3D presentation: http://vimeo.com/14908651

God bless & wish you all have a very peaceful & joyful week!

In Him
Mingtao (Paul)
