Sunday, 3.21.10

This must be short so there can be rest tonight! This day was beyond packed and beyond expectations!

First, we went to Josh and Sabina’s church and heard an amazing message about living and dying for Christ from Josh who had an episode last week with his heart. He is fine now, but what a moving message. Sharon shared about her great-aunts having been here to teach, share Christ and establish churches and schools. The story moved us all and brought the church to tears! What a legacy of faith! Eight people came to Christ today – and over 70 people attended!

After lunch at church, we went to another house church with Yolanda and Hope’s group. There were 25-30 people crammed into a space of less than 140 square feet. They wanted to be taught about godly marriage so Mary and I shared with them while Sharon and Bonnie stayed with Sabina and the new believers group and prepared the goodie bags for the event tonight. It was a precious time with all!

From 4:30-8pm we were at a tea shop with about 38 women for a requested training on Emotions, Your Story –His Story and godly Career planning. It was very well received and the teaching by Sharon, Bonnie, Sabina and I went quite well with much feedback and many questions too. There were seekers there as well with questions asked and much talking afterward. Pray for a young lady named Kali, who told me she hadn’t believed there was a god, but that her heart was stirred toward Him tonight!

Tomorrow we will go to the orphanage, see George Chen (a leader of a Christian businessmen’s group) who wants to help us to start a group for women! In the evening we will see a few of the potential leaders of women’s groups who couldn’t make the training on the 13th. Tuesday we will see the Temple of Heaven (there was a sand storm yesterday and we couldn’t go) and finish our shopping at the silk market. If I don’t get to write before I leave for home on the 24th – look for our update upon our return! We are all so filled with joy and wonder at His work here – it is hard to express in mere words!!

I love you and thank you for your support and prayers,

Peggy
