“I don’t think there are Christians in China”

that was the comment made by one of my Chinese students. But another student that is a believer chimed in and said , “Oh yes, in my family’s village there are many Christians and in fact my cousins have a stationary store and they use it to be able to sell Christian items and to connect with people.” This is the kind of interaction that we long to see and hope will happen all the more as we have invited all of our Bible class students over for a Thanksgiving meal and want them to connect and be encouraged by the faith of each other.

Last night after our Thanksgiving Squanto movie a student came up to me (MK) and told me that another student had invited her to church. We desire that these students catch the vision to share their faith. And another student signed up to study the Bible for the first time, with Fred.

A newly married Taiwanese couple opened their place to us to have our monthly married couples meeting. We bring extra chairs and a table but it is beautiful to see them be willing to extend hospitality. Another young mother offered to host the mama’s group in her small apartment and she invited her other friends to come. It becomes their’s instead of our meeting!

It is up and down at times with who shows up for various activities. I was encouraged to remain faithful to the still small voice of the Lord. That one meeting was one of the best and as the 4 of us sat around the table, tears were shed and prayers went up to the Lord. He who calls us is Faithful!
