prayers work!!

I received an e-mail from some guy that I don't know. He was friends with a Chinese guy that was at Ole Miss. That guy was from Hangzhou and returned home last week. While in the US, the Chinese guy (Bob) studied THE Book. He said that he wanted to continue studying. So we got hooked up.

Bob and his family were going to come over to our house last Monday evening. However, they had a friend that was getting married, or at least having their wedding dinner that night. So Bob invited us to go with his family to the wedding. It was really a nice night. I will have to tell you about the wedding another time.

Bob has a 10 year old son. His son went to school in the US for a year, so he can speak and understand English. His name is Michael. Liam and he get along very well. They had a good time just being little boys.

Bob and his family came to our meeting on Sunday. We are really excited about this family! Bob brought his Bible and shared it with his wife. Her English is good, but not quite as good as his. He helped her find the places in the readings. They even made their son sit with them during part of the Bible study. I think I heard Bob repeating some important points in the story to his family.

Before they left, Bob confirmed what we would be studying next week so he could read before hand.

It is very encouraging to see this family come to worship and study together!

I think that the family also reached out and welcomed this family. I heard them talking to several people.

Liam is going to go to their house next week to play with Michael. This is an answer to a very specific prayer! We have asked that Liam can find a friend that is a boy. Thanks for praying!

Bob is a member of the Party. We think that he already believes but has not yet taken the plunge. I am not sure what the wife believes, but she is open and does seem to be searching.

We ask that you pray for this family. Pray that they will continue to seek out His will in their life. Pray that they will feel a part of the family here.
