FIRST BIG DAY!

FIVE OF US - at breakfast "church" on Sunday.  L to R: David Goodman, Peggy, Pam Cox, Liz Selzer and Wendy Joseph.  Jeff Allen is taking the photo and the rest are attending various churches.  Great team and though we've kept very busy, we are loving the time together and with our sisters and brothers in Beijing!


SATURDAY'S WORKSHOP:
Wendy teaching "God Knows Your Name" - wonderfully researched with biblical history and life application! Tracey is translating.


Here is Marlen, translated by Fangfang, teaching on the "Power of Forgiveness".  She followed my talk about the "Comparison Trap" and it flowed so well.  Lots of great questions afterward and the illustration with the names of those we need to forgive written on dissolving paper...dropped into the water, made the point!

Liz, with characteristic joy, shares a painful story from her past with the message "Portable Peace" and the women were so moved! I am certain they will remember and that God will use this to influence their lives as they grow in Him.

Barb Allen shares a short testimony and her radiant spirit touching all who have met her!



Pam shared the power of her story while teaching the women how to make a "Story Rope", weaving the past sorrows and joys into a beautiful, tactile picture of their lives.

Here, she is sharing with Eileen, who translated for her and you can certainly tell they are "sisters" by their love!


Jane shares her testimony...in Mandarin!  The women heard her in their language and you could hear the collective sighs of approval - Jane is a joy!

Laura, sharing her Story Rope testimony.  I have this on video and will share.  The ladies loved making these and all were moved and loved the teaching and again we marvel at how well it all flowed as though it were planned...hmmmm... guess it was!



Jeff & David counsel with Daniel.  The men had a great time of sharing - David on "The Reluctant Moral Hero" and Jeff on "Authentic Success"!



Ahhh - here is one of our shawl winners - loving the idea of the KnitWits praying for her and her boy!
