Jane

Jane (ChongChongMaMa) was baptized in Elaine’s home during a Sunday worship. What a wonderful celebration! Jane’s husband, Margaret’s family, and Elaine’s family were all there to see Jane become a new Christian. I think there were 35 people all together.


It is powerful to see God working through people. Margaret shared about her friendship with Jane and the conversations leading up to Jane’s decision to obey the gospel. In addition Grace is Jane’s college classmate. Jane has come to many Friday night studies in Grace’s home.
(From May 2010) ChongChong’s whole family, father, mother, and younger sister GuoGuo, came two weeks. And one week ChongChong’s Christian grandma came. At the end of our study we all take a turn to say a short prayer. ChongChong’s grandma said we should stand up. ChongChong MaMa began crying as she prayed (she often cries during the last prayer) asking for forgiveness for times she had not treated her mother-in-law fairly over the years. ChongChong’s grandma began singing a song of encouragement to her daughter-in-law. Grace also knew the song and she joined in. When we had finished praying ChongChong’s grandma said we have to recite the Lord’s Prayer to finish.


Jane and her family have also served our family many times. When Caleb got strep throat a year ago ChongChong’s family helped us in the hospital three days in a row. They let us borrow a crib for our baby Joy. Joy wears clothes from Jane’s two daughters all the time.


Thank you God for Jane, a new sister in Christ.
