Here we are June 1 which means we're only about 3 weeks away from leaving for our amazing journey in China. We are very excited as the day quickly approaches. AS a team we went through team training at Simpson University. During the one week of training our team learned so many things from God as well as things about each other. It was a very good experience and i am proud to say that we did very well despite all the obstacles thrown at us.
We're very excited about the ministry that we will be doing in China. THe first few weeks we are there we will be training Christian college students in the local community in how to create, set up and run their own vacation bible schools. We will also be teaching them how to incorporate an English aspect to the vbs. We are so excited to form relationships with the students there and to learn how their lives differ from ours. THen the following weeks we will be running vacation bible schools in various local communities. Although, we are a little nervous about the language barrier we have all been studying up on our Mandarin!
As the weeks grow closer we ask that you keep us in your prayers. We ask that you pray for our nerves, for our ministry and especially for our health before we leave. AS many of you know swine flu is an epedemic that is sweeping the world. China is buckling down on those entering the country and many are being quarentined for ten days before being allowed to go out into China. Please pray that our team is healthy upon entering the country, our entire time there, and upon leaving the country!
Thanks so much! God BLess!!!
China Team
