Youth Missions Rally Last night our local churches sponsored a Hong Kong CB Youth Missions Rally. It was great. The first hour was food, information tables, cultural dances, etc. Following that 2 of our young people, Andrew and Johny shared about their experiences this past summer. Johny spent a month in the Philippines, learning from a cell church there. Andrew spent 3 months in Indonesia working with local church planters. The night finished with a  challenging message from Pastor Gabriel Ng. A good number of young people responded to his challenge to give their lives to missions.  Please pray for the young people who made commitments to serve as missionaries. Pray for Dr. and Mrs. Loong who will be responsible for much of the follow up of this group.
