It’s a journey for many of our students to discover God. Often it begins in the classroom with them learning English but then friendships begin and we actually have students asking to study the Bible with us! At last they have the freedom to do so in a free country and we are so thankful that we can be there for them. (Thanks to you all standing behind us!!!)

Yang was a sponge as we read the book of Matthew and then we would watch the Visual Bible DVD of Matthew to let her digest it all. She would often have questions and later I (Mary Kay) learned that her husband did as well and she was the spokesperson for his questions as he was too busy with his studies. We connected her to another Christian believer from her country.

Fred and I were praying that they would hit it off. It was amazing… here they found out they were from the same province and city! What are the chances of that with China being so big! God is amazing in how He can connect the dots. She met obstacles along the way like the landlord of the basement where they were living not allowing me to meet with her to study the Bible. But since then, she has continued to be in touch with this other believer twice a month via Internet video Skype to study the Bible with a group of Chinese students. Also she attended a baptism of 3 other Chinese students at our church and she talked with them about their experience with God. She went home to China over the summer and discovered she has a Christian aunt and uncle.

“I was so happy that my mom told me this story, that I have another family member who believe in God!”

Then just about 2 weeks ago, I talked with her on the phone as she has moved to another state. She has decided to commit her life to Christ and wants to be baptized.

“When others ask me if I believe in God, my answer is yes!”

Yang

She did not give up in her discovery of God!
