As [the Chinese students] saw [us] Americans walking up, they crowded around us, and we all had our own circles of conversations. These Chinese students were so excited to practice their English. It was so fun, and a bit overwhelming… Two girls my age walked up to me smiling, and one of them said to me, “Can you tell me what you know about Jesus?” I was so stunned. I said, “Of course.” They told me they had met an American on their campus who told them about Jesus a few weeks prior…and they wanted to know more.
And use us He did!
For a couple of weeks in mid-November, my Team Aletheia, Team Libre, and Team Quake participated in a Cultural Exchange program at a university in China. * For the safety of the students and our ministry contacts, I cannot give many specific details or post photos of people.
I was surprised and delighted by the BOLDNESS of these Chinese students. In addition to the repetitive, “Where are you from?” and “Do you like Chinese food?” kind of questions, I also was asked, “How do you define the good life?” and “What do you do when you feel confused and depressed?” — talk about obvious opportunities to share my beliefs about God!
Many seeds were planted, and a few students chose to accept Jesus as Lord of their lives. Hallelujah! China has a large unreached population, so please PRAY for continued growth.

Team Hephzibah ministered to local missionaries. Team Judah offered sports camps. Team Karis, Team Dunamis, and Team Transformers each visited a handful of towns, all the while Asking The Lord how best to serve the communities.
