Women's Team - October 2011

Exciting, rewarding, blessings, laughter, and amazement are just a few words to describe our October mission to Beijing.  This team of six women spoke at 15 different sessions to approximately 350 people.  While the numbers are impressive, they do not convey the tremendous impact this trip made not only on the Chinese people we met, but also on every team member.

One Thursday the team went to the office of a major cosmetic company and taught about 30 women from 9:30 to 5:00.  After the last talk, our guide Hope, used our slavation bracelet to explain the salvation message then asked if there were any women who wanted to accept Jesus into their lies to guide them.  Eleven women said yes!  It is amazing to think that those eleven non-believers sat for seven hours absorbing our teaching based on the Bible.  All the way back to the hotel we sang praise songs and thanked God for the privilege to serve Him in China!

Then there was the taxi driver who asked our interpreter why we were all so happy and she told him about our joy in the Lord.  And the pastor who told Diane that her teaching inspired him.  And the many people we talked with who are stuggling in difficult marriages to unbelievers.  And our extraordinary interpreters and guides, Hope and Fangfang, who continue to inspire us ... and so much more!

Hopefully this will give you a glimpse of what we do while serving our Mighty Lord in China.
