We hated to say goodbye to our friend, a visiting scholar from China. She had been learning so much in such a short time. After visiting our church, she said “It was the most wonderful experience of my life.” She continued, “But I cannot be a Christian because Christians should get together with other Christians and there are none in my country.” We assured her that there were.

Before we left her, she shared her husband had called her, saying “I had a dream that you became a Christian and got baptized.” She responded, “what did you think of that?” “I think it would be wonderful” he replied.

So keep praying, God is still working!!

On another note, we were also sad that three other of our friends that we have been studying the Bible with are returning to their home country. I (Fred) had a great time sharing more deeply the faith with them, and giving them DVDs to help them continue. I was sad that they do not have the peace that we have. Not yet.

On a positive note, they recommended my English Bible class to their friends and now there are three more students!!
