Greetings from Shanghai! We’ve just completed the first leg of our Christmas Magic China tour in Shanghai. We had two wonderful sold-out shows here on Thursday and Friday night. Thank God for smooth rehearsals and performances despite the short runway we had to set up at the Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre.
It’s been an eventful week. Senior Pastor Lawrence and I left Singapore for Xiamen on Saturday morning. We went a couple of days ahead of the team to market the Xiamen shows to some of our friends there. We had a great time meeting and interacting with them. They were so excited to meet us and eagerly anticipated the shows we would soon be performing at the Xiamen Song and Dance Theatre. In fact, they were so enamoured with Senior Pastor Lawrence’s sharing that they decided to add an additional Saturday matinee show for their family, friends and community.
From Xiamen, we flew to Shanghai to meet up with the rest of our team. All hands were on deck to set up the stage, have run-throughs and do final preparations to ensure that everything was perfect for show night. And they did not disappoint! Everyone was so pleased with the result of the performances. The crowd was certainly amazed!
Dear family, please continue to pray for our seven upcoming shows in the next three cities – Chongqing, Xiamen and Hangzhou. Pray that the audience will have open hearts that are ready to receive the message of faith, hope and love through Christmas Magic. Also, pray for a special illumination upon each person who watches the show; that they will have a clearer understanding of the meaning of Christmas that will bring them to acknowledge and appreciate the presence of God in their lives.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers! We look forward to bringing you great reports from Christmas Magic 2017.
- Senior Pastor Nina Khong
