It is unique having in-laws living halfway around the world and behind the ??? rice curtain??? We tried to set up a blog site for them but their access there has now been blocked to that site. We have to be careful what we say on the phone. But their work there is bearing fruit. They have had 50 new members join the team. I have not had 50 people that I have taught in my lifetime and the work there has seen 50 since the end of August. It proves that God is still in charge and he can move in the lives of men no matter what geographical borders are set up.
They said it is cold and rainy there now and most of the public buildings, including all of their classrooms, do not have heat. Here we get upset if the thermostat at the office or in the auditorium are set too high or too low....not a problem there. If its cold outside you bundle up inside. Another difference, they are getting custom draperies made for each window at less than $20 per window. A package was sent to them in mid-October and still has not arrived. The more updates that we hear from them, the more I know that I need to pause and thank God on how he has truly blessed us.
In Him,
David

I'm glad their work in China is fruitful. We've been thinking about them lately!
Stephanie, if you know of any congregations looking to support a successful mission work, I can get them information on this.
