Ed & Johan & Joe & Eden & Andrea & Ann

Having Hongkonese food in Taipei with Johan & Ed and Ed's older brother Joe (not shown).
I really like this shoe store's atmosphere and the design!
Had a great time sharing Jesus with Andrea, Ann, and Eden.

Ed's buddy Johan took us to his shoe store, after we had dinner, and share with all of the people working there. During dinner Johan shared with me his Holy Spirit encounter this past Sunday at Green Bay with Jaeson Ma & Pastor Philip Mantofa! Ed invited him to go to this one-day event for artists, and he fell back when Pastor Philip prayed for him, and when he got up, he started to throw up some stuff -- not physically but spiritually. He felt some spirits left him out of his mouth! And he's really changed by the Lord. Yesterday Ed had a Bible study with Johan and Johan's friend (who said to Johan that his face has changed! And he's not a believer yet!). And today I got to meet him and go to his shoe store on Dun Hua South Rd. and to share more about Jesus with Eden, Andrea, and Ann.

They really felt the change inside of Johan, and Ed and I started to share with them the love of Christ, and they were really receptive! We got to pray for all three of them! Eden (what a NAME!), the store manager, has been under some stress due to the workload at the store. I really admire his persevering spirit -- he's only been to the store for less than a year yet he is now the manager! "就從甚麼都不會就一直學到現在啦..." That's what he said to me! So we prayed that the Lord would bless him and his position at work.

Then we got to share more with Andrea who's afraid of "ghosts". After sharing with her about the Lord she was really open for prayers. We then pray for her family, especially for her grandparents who are not well because of aging, and also pray for her life here in Taipei (she came to Taipei all the way from Kaohsiung ALONE 4 years ago!) to prosper and full of blessings.

We shared the most with Ann. Johan, before our dinner meeting, was sharing his encounter with Ann and she told him that she believes in every god. So then Ed and I shared with her about the Lord's love and hope. She told us that she wants to go back to school and study more about fashion design, so during the prayer, we asked the Lord to bless her study and her dream to become a fashion designer!

There's probably something about the name Ann in the Bible. There's this prophetess named Anna who would fast and pray and worship in Luke chapter 2. I'll share more about that with Belle's dream.

ANYHOW....
Before we reached the shoe store, we encountered 3 people who were walking with two crutches! All three kindly rejected our prayers, but I bet their hearts were stirred up by God and the Lord will encounter them!!!! Thank You Jesus!

I shared with Ed testimonies from Las Vegas and he got so pumped up! And also I shared with him about Belle's dream and he was also stunned at what God's doing all around the world! Thank You Lord for this amazing brother!
