Friday Night Ladies Children Study

On Friday night, we now have eight moms coming to the study. We have added two additional members, Tongtong’s mom and YiYi’s mom. Grace, Linda, and GaoYan take turns leading the ladies studies. In May, we have been studying a Bible based parenting book call “Shepherding a Child’s Heart” by Tedd Tripp translated to Chinese. It is a very good book. It teaches parents not just to correct the behavior of a child, but to lead and correct the heart. It reminds parents that our children will either believe in God or worship the idols of a material world. Their acknowledgement of God and relationship with God will shape their view towards everything. The book used the example of Joseph. He was sold as a slave by his brothers. He was in prison and forgotten by his friend. However, he did not turn bitter and hateful. Joseph knew that God was with him everywhere. He forgave his brothers. All the moms are amazed by the knowledge of the Bible. YiYi’s mom went home and read Matthew 5-7. TongTong’s dad said to TongTong’s mom, “I see a change in you. You have been a better wife to me and better mom.” We are all encouraged by the Friday night Bible study and see God’s hand working in our group.
