EAST ASIA Updates #5


Our two days in this Capitol city was a whirlwind as we attempted to meet with a large group of university students, individual students, and our local missionaries (3).  Of course we had to fit in a couple of sightseeing stops to validate our visit.

The first evening, we had about 20 university students attend our coffee house talk.  David gave an overview of where we lived and I think the students really enjoyed themselves.  He also sang some songs and led the group in some others.

I was able to share about some of our church's work around the world and the reasons we were engaged in those projects.  We then broke up into small groups for a wonderful time of discussing spiritual topics.

Our second day consisted of meeting with our missionaries for debriefing and strategy planning for future visits.  It was a great time to encourage them and be inspired by their stories.  It was also a time to be reminded of their great sacrifices for the Gospel.

The balance of our time was consumed with individual sessions with students who had previously made decisions for Christ.  Then we prepared to begin our journey back up north on the overnight train.

Team is doing well and trusting in the Father's favor for the balance of our journey.  Keep praying for many to come to faith in these final days.
