Update from Bay Area Christian Church in San Francisco

It was great to be with the Church in San Francisco during their annual Net Expo conference in August.

Although they are called the Bay Area Christian Church now, Jane and I had a great time fellowshipping with the same people that we came to love so much over the years. Other Church leaders from India and Africa were also there to teach and share about the exciting things the Lord is doing in their parts of the world. We also saw the sending-off of a couple from the Bay Area to be part of a China Mission Team!

Just recently, the BACC donated close to twenty thousand dollars for the relief work at Haiti and Manila. Over the past three years, they have given around $200,000 to the Churches in Africa and Asia. Their signature benevolent program, HOPE Technology School and e-Soccer have helped hundreds in their local communities, and in the process, also garnered plenty media attention, as well as successfully reached out to over 30 people who became disciples!

The disciples in the Bay Area are growing and enjoying their walk with the Lord; Jane and I look forward to future opportunities to be working with them closer as partners in the Gospel.
