Updates on the specific requests from last post. These may sound like simple stories, but it has been a week full of praises for me, as I've seen God doing all these things!!
Lilly and Lisa: atheists from China. Lilly spontaneously came over to my house this week on her day off (I'm currently living with a family of 5). She ate lunch with us and played with the kids and we had the opportunity to share with her about Christ via the ancient Chinese character for righteousness. It consists of the character for "me" under the character for "lamb." The redemptive symbolism is beautiful: I can be righteous if I am under the Lamb of God. Lilly was really interested. Several other interns are also reaching out to her and her friends.
√√ Continue to PRAY for their salvation!
Dew: believer from Thailand. One of the interns, named Faith, had been praying about discipling Dew. This week I got to take Faith with me to visit Dew. When Faith invited her to be discipled she said yes! She is the only believer among her group of friends here. Most of them are Buddhist. Dew is concerned about her level of English but she wants to grow and be encouraged.
√√ PRAY that Faith will lead Dew well, and that Dew may become strong in the Lord and in boldness to share the gospel with her friends.
Amy (3rd year leader) and Avery (1st year intern): Amy is strong in intercession and has a gentle spirit. Avery is more of a leadership personality and very outgoing. I had been working with them short term to empower Amy to disciple Avery. On Friday I had my last meeting with them, praying for them and releasing them for the rest of the summer. Amy is growing in leadership and confidence and Avery is growing in teachability. She has been reaching out to a girl named Gina, Buddhist from Mongolia, who is attracted to the kindness and joy she sees in the ministry interns.
√√ PRAY that Gina may see Christ and that Amy and Avery will continue to grow and make the most of their time this Summer.
