WorldReach to partner in new ministry to Chinese in Athens, GA

We request you pray for the new ministry to Chinese in Athens being jointly sponsored by WorldReach and Prince Avenue Hispanic Baptist Mission (PAHBM). Pastor Yip, Pastor to the Chinese congregation at FBC Lilburn (Georgia), will lead the bible study that is to begin August 10th.

Yolanda Baca, wife of Carlos Baca who pastors PAHBM, is Chinese. In fact, Pastor Yip planted the church in Lima, Peru where Pastor Baca was saved. God brought them together at a church planting conference in April of this year. Neither of these men had ever met before; Pastor Yip having immigrated to the United States a number of years before Pastor Baca was born again. You can imagine the joy of their first encounter...and how they sensed God at work to bring them together as partners in this new ministry for His glory.

While the inital meeting place for the Chinese ministry has been nailed down, we are still working out where the weekly bible studies are to be held. Your prayers are needed for all of those who will be reached through this ministry, and for all of the logistical details yet to be finalized.

As with all that we do at WorldReach, we need you to undergird it with prayer. Jesus said He will build His church...and we want to make certain that we do not get in His way!
