Hi <<First Name>> !

How are you? Yup, it's been awhile since my last email update. Hope this email finds you alive and kicking...

As of last week, Spring quarter at Fuller officially ended. It was by far the toughest quarter for me. A few more quarters to go! For now I'm glad that it's summer break. With summer approaching, LA gets warmer, but the proverbial June gloom kicked in two weeks before I left which was not fun. Now, I am in Hong Kong city (panorama photo above), the land of many 'Wan's - where the sun hides behind the clouds but the air is densely hot, hot, hot!

Antioch Forerunner Foundation is a summer missions program focused on training students and graduates to reach nations particularly along the Silk Road back to Jerusalem. This summer we are having it in three locations: Kansas City (July 1-31), Hong Kong (June 16-July 22) and Taiwan (July 26-Aug 23). The exciting thing is that we see God bringing together people from different nations with a common passion for a missional lifestyle, and a heart for prayer and intimacy with the Father.

With a unique thrust for each of these three locations, we are expecting God to further His mission by doing a deep work in each trainee; in Hong Kong - the Gateway City - the thrust is MARKETPLACE. How can they live out a missional lifestyle once they graduate, when they enter into a totally new environment that may not be as 'easy' a field as the campus? That is what AFF HK is about. We have 10 trainees on the marketplace track preparing to live out God's calling in their secular vocation, some flew in from the US with me and some are locals. Together, they represent mainland China, Canada, USA and Hong Kong SAR.  

Please pray for:

1. Good health - The H1N1 virus has caused widespread scare across this compact city-state. One of our teammates has been tested positive and is currently in hospital isolation, while we are limiting our movement to minimize public contact for the next 7 days. None of us are showing symptoms, but we want to take the best precautionary steps for the sake of our HK team/church partners.
2. Training scheduling - With this flu situation, our training is on pause until we are cleared. We are adjusting our schedules with the speakers and venues, and hope everything will work for the best for each of these 9 students.
3. Favor and vision - We hope to see each of these trainees have a vision for marketplace transformation embedded within their hearts for the years to come. Pray that they will receive favor through divine contacts and strategic job opportunities that will position them to be the Daniels of their generation. 

After AFF, our team will join Gateway Camp - a multicultural worship & intercession camp for people from many nations to be joined in destiny to partner with families and missions opportunities throughout China, HK and the nations beyond.

And then, after a few days' rest, we'll be off to Taiwan to start AFF with a new group of students!

On a personal note, besides AFF and HK, I ask for your prayer for:

1. Family in Kota Kinabalu: Divine provision for my parents and sister, and health in every aspect of their being and relationships.
2. Study: I will begin a distance-learning course for 10 weeks, starting next week. Please pray for healthy body, mind and spirit, and for focused diligence as I study while traveling.
   
3. Travel: Most importantly, that God would make me a blessing wherever I go, at the sound of his voice which I hope to obey faithfully. 

Thank you, <<First Name>>, for your partnership in prayer and financial support. Thank you for joining in God's mission, and for being a blessing to me and others. As we each live fully wherever he calls us to be, may you experience abundant grace and overflowing joy every single day!

Salam,
Janice
