BEIJING ARTISTS / A WILD RIDE & BEAUTIFUL COACHES!

 35 young artists packed this room last night for training on a biblical perspective for career choices.  I so enjoyed teaching these expressive and energetic brothers and sisters! The questions were insightful, bold and yet open to constructive ideas. Wish I could take them home with me - the young man in the back with the long hair smiled big and said, "my name is Happy"!

This is the shawl winner tonight, a guest of one of the sisters...it's always a joy when those who are seeking are presented with a special gift of love and prayer!

 Our key leadership, our "Coaches"!  These women will train the leaders here: (L to R)  Emma, Jili, Jufang, Kanghui, Helena, MaWei!  Beautiful, gifted women and we are so blessed.

Our coaches with the ladies on our team:  Kathy, Harriet, Mary, Liz & me.
Sweet fellowship today and wonderful training from Liz who was ill but delivered AWESOME leadership material!

Mary & MaWei shared a special bond as moms of adopted children.  Mary was a tremendous encouragement to MaWei who was in tears as she thanked me for bringing these women to her!

We took 2 taxis home from Hope's apartment today for the 5 of us.  Both had a bit of excitement! Harriet and I were thinking this red vehicle might have been preferable to the rattling car we were in with the amiable driver who nearly got us broadsided by a bus - we kept the angels busy today!  The other team's driver dropped them off before arriving at the hotel because his car wasn't allowed that far and they took another taxi the rest of the way!  God is good to take care of us here - we count it all JOY!!!
