【A Homeward Letter from Dubai, UAE】
Greetings Brothers! Joy to you in the Lord! The following is our recent church life in Dubai, UAE.
Church Life:
Tuesday evening – our district prayer meeting
Wednesday evening – district Bible Study meeting
Friday morning – Lord’s Table, prophesying and Bible Study meeting
Friday evening – the Brothers’ fellowship meeting (three times per month)
Saturday morning – corporate morning revival
Saturday evening – Chinese home meeting
Sunday evening – Chinese gospel outreach
Thursday evenings has regular visits to Chinese-speaking saints
Monday evening has the Chinese-speaking serving one’s prayer
There’s two afternoons per week set for gospel outreach.
As a result of the epidemic, several Chinese saints who had gone home for the New Year holidays, are still in China, and have not yet returned to Dubai. Which is why the Saturday home meeting had to pause, the Thursday visitation and the twice a week gospel preaching are affected likewise.
In addition, there are a few Chinese saints in two other cities, thru the propagation plans made this year, we would go shepherd them on a monthly basis. The farthest city is two hours car journey away.
So far, the burden that the brothers in Dubai had for the Chinese-speaking is that there needs to be a Chinese-speaking small group meeting. So far, the church is also praying for this.
I’ve also acquired a UAE driver’s license and had been coordinating in transportation service of the Chinese-speaking meetings.
Recent Situation:
My wife’s job is stable, due to the hard work, she often gets neck pains and dizziness. So I take my wife out to exercise a night every week.
During this time, my morning schedule includes Bible study. Bible Study is a practice I recently find very interesting and would take notes afterwards. Once or twice a week, I would go shepherd a new one in the morning, read the shepherding material with them. On the afternoons, I would learn English at home. I will continue to go out to preach the gospel when the epidemic passes. Occasionally, I would coordinate with another full-time serving one to take care of church affairs.
May the saints continue to keep us in their prayers.
