Op. shop in both locations going well. We are blessed as the church leaders continue to teach us with local help with new situations in their culture which we encounter. Bill is working with Jerry to develop young male leaders.Praise Point -- is for the week-end camp and the World Day of Prayer.
Prayer Point -- continue to pray for church leaders and their families in communities and faithfulness to their people.
Love Bill and Pauline.

Roberts News November 2009
Greetings from Xián in autumn. The weather is
now cooling down and in two weeks the heating
will be turned on across northern China. The other day, Cheryl announced
there are only eight weeks to Christmas. The year is flying by so quickly.
Our team (only eight) is managing well despite a few recent hiccups. The
H1N1 virus is making its prescence felt in some universities, with campus
closures and class cancellations. From the 1-7 October it was China's 60th
National holiday celebration. It was huge. The national fervour is high at
the moment and everyone is looking to China to be a major power in every
way. Two weeks ago Bruce had the privilege of attending an official church
in the city. He went with one of our special friends who is now attending
the church. It seats 500 people at one time and we stayed for three
services; each of them were full. We also want to ask you to ask our Father
for more workers because there is a great harvest at hand.
Our love and blessings to all.—Cheryl & Bruce.
Missionary Moment - 15 Nov 2009
Chris and David Hobbs of YFC, Warragul, would
appreciate prayer for their coming Christmas
breakup activities, especially on 20th December
when they will feed over 100 people. Those kids living in families with
special needs are invited to lunch and also given a hamper and presents. In
2010 new programs will be starting and there is a real need for more staff.
Chris is looking to work part-time so she can spend more time with the
family, therefore a full-time director is needed. Pray for guidance for the
team and that their potential will be achieved. Praise points are that the
buddy system is going well and the loan has been reduced to $120,000 in
just a three and a half year period.
If anyone has any jeans, shorts, or pants and white school shirts or any
shirts suitable for boys aged from grade 3 to year 7 that are in good condition
please see Heather Young. The clothes will be taken to children living
with HIV/AIDS in Cavelossim, Salcete, Goa, India, at the end of December.
Missionary Moment
As the Phillipines has been hit by typhoons, many areas including Manila and Palawan province have been affected. The squatters in particular are in dire straits. Please remember this situation in your prayers and also Elise Long and her team.
Elise has been ill and is recovering from malaria and other problems. The literacy team will be assessed soon and prayers for continued growth in language development would be appreciated. Continue to pray that the Palawano people will be kept safe and that Elise and her helpers will be encouraged in the work they are doing.
