New York

    Praise the name of the Lord. Thank you for your offerings and intercessory prayers.       The US presidential election was held on November 5th, and since I am an American citizen, I voted for Trump. The major American mass media are anti-Trump, so the reports were all favorable to Kamala Harris with a far-left view. I could see how the mass media is trying to influence the public with biased reports. However, Trump won by a landslide, and as someone living in the US, I am relieved for the result. I thank the Lord for it.

    In October, I was hit by an intense back pain; I couldn’t think of what caused it, and I was unable to walk normally, and could only walk slowly so as not to lose my footing. Usually, even when I have back pain, I recover within three days, but this time there was no sign of recovery, and to be honest, I was left in despair. I have been praying for healing, and in the third week, surprisingly I didn’t feel a pain walking uphill, which had been painful until the day before. It was just my first day going to physical therapy, and I was about to be seen. Besides, I was assigned with an excellent physical therapist, and now I have no problems walking and have almost recovered. Thanks to God’s grace, I somehow continued serving in Sunday worship in the past month in spite of  this intense back pain. Hallelujah!

    I am currently studying AI, and I have used it to generate images, create wallpaper images for online worship services, and create worship service information with background music, which I have been able to promote on social media. I am praying that AI can be used further for evangelism.

    Please pray that we will we continue to take steps of faith for the American mission, holding on to the Scripture for the TLEA Church New Year in November, 1 Samuel 17:47, “The battle is the Lord’s.”
