We spent a tender time at the orphanage today holding and speaking to the children. Quite a few new ones and they hadn't seen westerners before. It was hard not to pack them up and take them with us!
What a time we had with George Chen, the Chief Director of an organization of Christian entrepreneurs. Here is the brief intro on their website: (the translation is as follows)
Vision: Chinese entrepreneurs are both with honesty, integrity, vision and international perspective, and to actively promote corporate social responsibility, leadership. Because of good faith and mutual trust, and entrepreneurs in each other's mutual assistance, additional resources, so that enterprises can quickly become bigger and stronger, all are with the long term international competitiveness.
George and his lovely wife Jennifer are so happy to partner with us and have a strong desire to see the special needs of women in business addressed! Talk about another divine appointment!!!
Tonight we met with another 10 women about leadership for women's ministry in their churches. They were so excited to have help and support and had so many questions that we were thinking they wanted to spend the night with us! We have seen a total of 12 different churches represented by the women we have trained; the women tonight were from 3 different churches. They really had thoughtful concerns and were so happy and excited! We have a big job ahead and there is such a need for resource material!
Well, one more day and we leave for home. We all feel we are leaving a part of us behind here in China! God is moving in mighty ways here; we thank you for all of your prayers!
Oh, here is a note about the woman I asked you to pray for on the last entry who said she hadn't believed there was a god. I said her name was Kali, but it is Kelly. Her friend Yolanda is the one I have mentioned and wrote this note. Yolanda says Kelly is from a Muslim family:
Dear all,
Please kindly be posted that kelly was quite happy to join our church yesterday. She said that what she got on Sunday that's what she trully needs now.
She said that she shared God words to her friends in dinner after training. All of her friends love it...They even made fun to judge whatever their talking like "this is God meaning", "that's not God meaning"...
She said that she started to read bible last night...
Our God is almighty God, lord of lords...shall we pray for her to join us every Sunday...pray for her salvation at God's time and plan...Amen.
God bless you,
Yolanda
Not only is Don moonlighting as a comic, but he does well as a model, also! We are very anxious to hear more about Josh's "episode" and trust he is doing well, now. What experiences your group had, Peggy. All blessings from the Lord Himself! jb
