China: it is the people

How does one start to share a two week trip that has been overwhelming since before it began? where does one begin? There are so many God sightings (seeing God at work using you in others' lives, or others in your life); so many experiences;so many "ahah!"'s.














In wrestling this through with my Father, the one theme that kept recurring was the people, His people. People that He cares about that are trapped and need to be set free ... one at a time.













We saw the en-masse, and we experienced them as individuals.





One co-worker that was able to visit many students who had returned home came to the conclusion that we need to do more to reach and teach them while they are here. We need to go extra miles and invest all we can.






























The challenges as they return home are huge, especially if their culture is, not nurturing for their new faith.
















We saw alot, experienced alot and are left with alot of God's heart for His people, the ones who do not yet know His amazing love.





























In many ways, for all the differences, they are just like us.
