FEED 5,000 CAMPAIGN: EVANGELISM IN AFRICA
- A) EHC Mozambique:The country has experienced public anger and riots due to election fraud. Clashes between police and civilians have resulted in at least 11 deaths and many injuries. The situation has affected the team’s evangelistic work. Pray that the co-workers will have steadfast hearts and safetravel during this crisis to share Christ's love with the suffering people. Pray also that the turbulent situation will soon cease, and for evangelistic work to resume smoothly.
- B) EHC Eswatini:The team has received support from various churches in sending volunteers to share the Gospel with 50 families. They plan to reach 100 more families in November. Pray for the Lord's Spirit to touch the residents to believe in Jesus. Additionally, the branch’s evangelistic work is hindered by an old vehicle that breaks down frequently, delaying the co-workers' travel and slowing down the progress of the work. Pray for the Lord to prepare a new vehicle for them.
- C) EHC Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast):In collaboration with partner churches, the team has led 98 people to faith and baptized them into the church. Please pray for the upcoming Christmas evangelistic outreach. We hope that the local churches will participate enthusiastically and work together to proclaim the message of great joy.
CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN SINGAPORE (CCIS) - FULL EFFORTS FOR THE UPCOMING CELEBRATION
As the dazzling Christmas lights brighten up Orchard Road on 09 November, the Christmas season officially begins. Due to widespread media coverage, it is expected to attract around 4 to 5 million visitors to enjoy this visual feast. However, the highly commercialized lights and Christmas trees do not convey the true meaning of Christmas. This has been the motivation and effort of the organizing committee over the years - to share the message that "Christ Jesus was born to save mankind" to the massive crowds flooding Orchard Road, which is the true meaning of Christmas.
This mission, under the theme of "Touching Lives, Sharing Moments, Blessing the Community," has continued for 21 years. On 14 December the eight-day celebration will commence with performances from local and international choirs every night, from 7PM to 10PM on two stages. From 4PM to 10PM, there will also be interactive displays, community service booths, and hospitality booths along the walkways of Orchard Road, hoping to spread the Christmas message interactively. Please pray and financially support this important ministry in support of the remaining costs. We pray that this grand annual celebration will lead many to accept God's precious gift, the salvation from Jesus Christ.
TRACTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES: TAMIL, BENGALI, BURMESE, THAI, ETC.
Migrant workers from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other countries have become a significant new mission field and evangelizing them is a great challenge. The foreign language tracts published by SEHC are a bridge to reach them. Not only do these tracts break through language barriers, but they also allow them to learn about God's marvellous salvation in their native language, offering them the opportunity to be saved. Many churches, evangelistic ministries, and fellow believers frequently purchase these tracts to distribute in migrant workers' dormitories and their gathering places, and some even purchase them for distribution abroad. A couple who was called by God to minister to Myanmar migrant workers in Bangkok bought over a thousand Burmese tracts before their departure to evangelize there. We encourage fellow believers to use this convenient and effective method of outreach to connect with migrant workers, leading them to know the true God and trust in the Saviour.
CREATIVE ACCESS BRANCHES BREAK LIMITS TO EVANGELIZE AND CULTIVATE DISCIPLES
EHC in Country F: The team is thankful for the prayers of fellow believers, which have helped the co-workers spread the Gospel in regions where the religious faith is restricted. Please pray as they prepare for the next round of evangelistic work and ask the Lord to open doors for the Gospel and prepare people's hearts to accept the Saviour who was born to save us.
EHC in Country T: Wherever the Gospel spreads, even in countries that resist the truth, people come to faith in Jesus. The co-workers of this branch risked their lives to evangelize, leading five pagan believers to faith and courageously receiving baptism and experiencing the joy of bringing people to the Lord. May these five new believers have the strength to shine for the Lord in their community, and may their families soon walk with them the path of salvation.
EHC in Country R: Evangelistic literary materials are an important tool in areas where sharing the Gospel is difficult. Please pray for the tract outreach ministry of this branch, so that those who receive tracts will know the Gospel and respond to God's great love. Pray also that the branch will be able to establish Christ Groups for new believers to strengthen their faith, nurture disciples, and spread the Gospel to bear more fruit for the Lord.

“VOICES OF BIBLICAL CHARACTERS” AND “LEGENDS OF THE BIBLE” - INCREASING YOUR BIBLE KNOWLEDGE
The first book, written by Dr. James Yu, explores the inner thoughts of biblical figures, especially their personal reflections and declarations. The characters explored include Noah, Abraham, Moses, King Saul, and David. The author hopes this book will encourage people to believe in Jesus. The second book, written by Rev. Elisha Wu, portrays biblical stories in the style of Chinese chapter-novel storytelling. This book can be used to introduce atheistic intellectuals in the APAC region to the knowledge of the true God, hoping they will soon come to know Him. Both books are suitable for new believers, and we pray for the Lord to use them.
“TRUTH BEYOND LOGIC” AND “SEVEN STEPS TO BLESSING” - THE SECRET TO RECEIVING BLESSINGS
The first book, by Rev. Dr. Lau Cheng Kian, contains 4 parts: The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each chapter opens with a verse of scripture and the author uses simple language to explain to readers the essence of each verse. The latter book by Bro. Ford of Jabbock discusses how to seek and obtain blessings, a process divided into 7 steps, including topics such as Eternal Joy and Blessings Through Knowing Jesus, Blessings and Favour from Following God’s Word, and Different Levels of Seeking Blessings. Spiritual fulfilment requires resources beyond material abundance. Nature demonstrates God’s blessings through it’s ordered cycles. May the Lord use them.
“NEW BELIEVERS COURSE” AND “KNOWING THE TRUTH” - THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE
The first book is written by Elder Samuel Ching and is suitable for new believers who have been baptized. The course consists of fifteen lessons referencing many relevant Bible verses and providing simple explanations. The course includes practical exercises to help new believers practice and apply the teachings. The second book is written by Dr. Zhang Yulan, and is divided into three parts: Does God exist? Is the Bible inspired by God? Is Jesus the Son of God? The author uses the laws of the universe, the wonders of creation, and godly miracles to prove the existence of God. These two books are suitable for brethren who want to understand the Bible more deeply. May the Lord use them.
“BIBLICAL PNEUMATOLOGY” AND “CHANGE THE WORLD SCHOOL OF PRAYER” - PRAYER AND LIFE
The first book is written by Rev. Dr. Peter Wongso and is divided into 8 chapters. The contents include the titles and personhood of the Holy Spirit, the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Father, the gifts of the Holy Spirit to believers, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. The second book is written by Rev. Dr. Dick Eastman and shares the author’s insights on the subject of prayer, drawn from more than thirty years of in-depth research, personal practice, and close examination of thousands of hours of believers’ prayers. Both books are suitable for brethren who have been believers for a long time.
