Reading the Bible everyday for 30 minutes

“We will not be able to meet with you today as we had an accident and are in the ER.”  Those were words from a Chinese couple that we had been meeting with.  Because of the accident they were without a car as it was totaled.  So we offered transportation for them to an event that they were planning to attend in another state.  Needless to say that through all of this process our hearts have grown closer and also there has been a new openness and need that they have felt to turn to God.  What a delight to hear them say that they are trying to read the Bible 30 minutes each night before going to bed (their idea, not ours!)  The guy has been reading lots with Fred and now he is teaching his girlfriend all that he knows from the book of Matthew. 

The injuries from the accident mainly affected Chong (with her hand needing surgery).  It has caused them to be without a car, as they did not have it covered with insurance, and lots of therapy, and a challenge to keep up with studies.  Chong is struggling with discouragement and depression.  We talked at length last week and shared how wonderful the book of Psalms can be to us when we go through difficult moments.  God is definitely at work and will you water it with your prayers that they will surrender their lives to HIM, and have an everlasting PEACE!
