MORE TEACHING DAYS - FILLED TO OVERFLOWING!

Judy and I thoroughly enjoyed the time with these sisters at Fangfang's home. They ask wonderful questions; we enjoyed every minute!

This group of stay-at -home moms in a lovely house by the Old Summer Palace. Alice was our hostess, they loved the teaching and we were treated to a lovely lunch and gifts! Pretty sure we were blessed the most!

 After our mom's group, we gathered some of our leaders. It was good to hear form them!  To learn where they see themselves and how we can assist.  Precious time and great help from the team!

At a Mary Kay center here in Beijing - It is amazing how long they want to sit to learn.  The breakout groups were once again so helpful both the the students and the teachers!

 This is Rebecca - GPiH staff.  We gave her a shawl since she is new to us and she loved it. The KnitWits do a wonderful job with these.  Then she came to me and asked if she could give it to a sister who really wanted it.  What precious hearts they have to give~

Jon spent some mentoring time with Stanley and his girlfriend. They bonded so well and will be working together. Stanley is determined to become a leader!

Jim and Judy answered so many questions.  Many concerns about prayer and biblical issues and they patiently answered them all. 

STUDENTS SO ATTENTIVE TO LEARN AND SO GRATEFUL WE CAME: WE WERE BLESSED BY THEM!

 So determined to learn - they would sit for hours with no break if we didn't offer one. They do so much with so little~

 Here they are listening, taking notes, tentatively participating at first and then more boldly!  Loved our time with them.

 Judy is a wonderful teacher - they loved her!

Our winners of the beautiful knitted things sent again by our beloved "KnitWits" who "knit a witness for Christ!" They love knowing they are prayed for~

 This sweet man studying outside. Again, doing so much with so little and really putting us to shame with their simple devotion.

 I got to share about being "calm when life is out of control". Rebecca was a wonderful translator!

Here is the kitchen - lunch preparations in progress!

Jim, Ron and Hope enjoying the sights!

FIRST DAY TEACHING - WONDERFULLY RECEIVED AND WE WERE MOST BLESSED!

Pastor Jim shares about discovering Spiritual maturity - these young believers were so hungry for this teaching; there were many requests for more information, the material used and great discussion groups afterward! There were a total of about 40 today meeting in an apartment "church" on the outskirts of Beijing.

Each time there was a break, young believers gathered around each Grace Team member to ask questions and ask for prayer. Here is Ron, praying with these three.

One of our winners of the lovely knitted hats and shawls from the "KnitWits" (knitting a witness for Christ)!They love the gifts and the prayers that go with them!

Here is Jon, after his talk about "Fighting Lions & Facing Fears". I love the great feedback and interaction with  hungry brothers and sisters!

A new brother! Made a decision for Christ after Ron's testimony on forgiveness.  He received a beautiful bookmark (made by Yinyen in Denver) before sharing about receiving Jesus. 

Lovely Judy & Emma. The bond was immediate and so sweet! They loved Judy!

Our Team: Grace, Judy & Jim Malouff, Peg & Jon Sperling & Ron Dalton! Excited to be in Beijing. 

Our first adventure and a first for me: after waiting for our driver who had difficulties with his van, we were on back roads to avoid traffic and received a "swipe" from another vehicle - very minor but paint scratch on side of the van. 

All is well! The team was tired last night but ready for adventure of the "non-traffic issue" variety :) Excited to see what the Father has for us here!
