5th Week in China

Things have been amazing thus far here in Xiamen, China. Many of our students have started studying for final exams. This week we visited a nursing home with our readers. And spent some time there singing and encouraging the elderly at the nursing home. It was a very humbling time for our students and us. We also got the chance to visit a Chinese Museum and learn about the history of Xiamen. We also purchased English/Chinese Bibles for our students, so they can read God's Word after we leave. Thank you so much to Central Church of Christ for the donations! Now we preparing for our final Graduation/Goodbye Party for our students. Its all starting to hit us that we only have a few days here in China, sadly. So our last week, we will say our goodbyes and try to spread the Word of Christ as much as we can by continuing our English lessons. Thank you so much for everyone's support. We wish all of you could be here to see Jesus moving in China.

Our 4th week in China

This week has been very busy. Since Jerry and Harrison went back to the US, we have tried to continue reading with our readers and their readers also. We have now opened one of our Off days to read with more students so that everyone can get practice, More new students have signed up, wanting to learn more about the Bible. There is such a big need here to teach about Jesus Christ, because this culture has never been exposed to the Bible before. We also had our Luau Hawaiian party on Saturday. The students enjoyed playing limbo and taking pictures. This week we will be doing another community service project with our readers by visiting the elderly at a local nursing. Time is moving so fast, its hard to believe its been 4 weeks already. God has blessed us with so many friends here, and good times of fellowship with the local Christians. Please stay tuned for more updates and thanks for your continued support.

A summary of week 3

This past week was Harrison and Jerry final week here in China. On Monday they both headed to the airport, and made it back safely to America. Praise God! Before they left, we all had some very productive reading sessions. All the students here are still so eager to practice their English. We have many students who are interested in the bible. They ask so many good questions about the lessons that are being discussed. Their are some that are even asking how they can know more about God. God seems to really be working here to open their hearts up to his word. We celebrated T's 22nd birthday on June 1st. The people here bought her the most beautiful mango cake and sang happy birthday in Chinese. On Saturday we had our second party. This one's theme was game night. About 25 of our students were present. We sang Lord Reign in Me and Hosanna You're My King. The students all sang along and did a great job. We also split up into groups and had discussions so that everyone could get to know each other. Finally, we played Link and a game that is somewhat similar to rock, paper, scissors (except this one involved running). This Sunday we were given the opportunity to travel into Xiamen to attend the church there. There were about 50 people there. We have had such an amazing trip so far and pray that God continues to bless us. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers while we are here. God Bless
