GOOD news of GREAT joy! :D

Somedays the Father just blows your socks off... or in my case today, dries your socks off. That's right, after rain every day for the past week, with our clothes getting ever dirtier and no place to dry them well, He has gifted us with an afternoon of bright warm sunshine! The sun brought a smile to many faces...

...but the REAL great news is that the Son brought even BIGGER smiles to us this evening. Every night, we have a time for team sharing. Usually, one person shares his/her personal testimony and we pray for that brother/sister together. Father has used these "family" times to the true glory of His name...what we've heard and learned has been nothing short of amazing. During tonight's gathering, not only did we get to hear yet another story of His grace & love, but we also celebrated a Very Special Occasion -- one of the TAs from Chengdu (they have been invaluable in helping us get through these weeks) has decided to give his life over to Him!!! WOW. We are so humbled and honoured that we were invited to be part of this significant step.

For more details, please email one of the team members... We can inform you that his name is Edwin. Please remember him. If you wish to address a short message to him too, please leave a comment and I'll make sure he receives it. ^^

Longer update with more pictures later! Here we are about an hour ago, our whole team (minus our illustrious leader who took the picture) plus the TAs ... very sleepy but very, very happy. :)
May I thank you once more for your faithfulness in talking to our Abba about our various requests...here He is, answering us.
