Prayer for Sunny Ma

Cornerstone Church has applied to the US government to grant Sunny Ma (IFC intern) an R-1 visa. If granted, this would allow her to work full time for Cornerstone on staff with IFC to help serve the international community at ISU. Please pray that God will give Sunny favor in the eyes of the officials who make this decision, and that the application would be granted very soon.

Prayer Request for Chinese students

Here is a prayer request from Jason and Jen Lee:

My husband, Jason, and I have a family group and we would like to request prayer for three of the Chinese students who are in our group. Last night we discussed the consequences of sin and they tracked with it 100% and were grappling with what on earth can be done since there is no way to get to God on our own. We ended up sharing the good news and so they are all contemplating it now.

The students' names are:

Yongsheng & Qing (married)
Shaogang (male)

Thanks!

Chinese outreach opportunity!

Awesome Opportunity! This Fall semester IFC will have the opportunity to host the Chinese Student association in having their "Chinese Mid-autumn Celebration Party" at Cornerstone Church. That means that over 400 Chinese will be meeting at Cornerstone on September 12th to celebrate. During the celebration they want IFC to give information about how they can be involved in IFC and Cornerstone. They will want many of you to attend in order to meet new Chinese students. Please begin praying that God will use this beginning of school event as a means for us to connect and befriend many new Chinese students. Praise God for this awesome opportunity He has given us!
