Nothing prepares one for the
crush of people, the amount of traffic or the sights and smells of China but it
was a delightful surprise to begin our time here in a mega church –worshipping
with hundreds of likeminded people. This was an English service so we
were able to joyfully enter into the entire experience – complete with a
helpful sermon on James 5
Monday was spent in training
by the English Language Institute of China. ELIC is our official host and
we’ve been impressed by the passion of our host couple and their desire to
‘carefully’ spread the good news – even to the inclusion of code words.
There are 1.3 billion people
in this country. Can you imagine the need?
We had some fun in the
afternoon – taking in an acrobat show. . . complete with a final act that
involved 5 motorcycles in a cage. We feasted again and found ourselves ready
for an early night. Jet leg left many looking a little haunted.
Pray as we enter English classrooms today that we will represent Christ well.
