I admire the passion and trust in God you have had through this (long) process. I know I am not nearly as educated as you or the others who have posted here about China, but I believe an English school is a great idea. Every time I think about what you are doing, it reminds me of the ‘English Corner’ and how excited the students were to participate every week!

I was also challenged by your post a few weeks ago. The idea you presented that missions should create a lifestyle of following Christ rather than just focus on the salvation moment is … simple yet profound. Missions for the sake of leading people to Christ is useful, but it falls short if it does not continue to help people walk through their lifelong relationship with Christ.

When it feels like you have exhausted every lead and contact and avenue … turn to God. I like what Abraham Lincoln said, “I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.”

I am so excited to see what God has in store for you and how he plans to use you!

I love you,
