Gifts from the East!

We are so excited to share with you about some special news we received from the East recently! Dave's Chinese co-worker, Emmy, recently shared with us that two new Chinese employees in the office (one whom Kristen works with in marketing and the other who Dave works with in accounting) have become Family members!!

Also, Kristen just received the e-mail below from one of the girls who was in her weekly study. She has graduated and is now a teacher's assistant (TA) in the junior kindergarten class at one of LDi's international schools (Tianjin International School-TIS). The Father is working in such wonderful ways in her life!

I am living with Nancy who is the second grade TA at the TIS, and I am so grateful for being her roommate... She has been seeking after the Father, and always thinking about how to serve the Father and the people around her and striving for telling more people the good news. We always encourage each other and pr'ay together often. I am really grateful that I enjoy the peace and joy at this point of my life.

A sister's friend who had heard of the good news before, came from Beijing to Tianjin for a job interview, and stayed at our apartment. We pr'ayed before we met her that the Father would soften her heart and open her spiritual eyes and bless us with wisdom to communicate with her. Guest what? We were able to have a good conversation with her and finally she decided to believe the Father!

We are going to have two-week Christmas in one week...A sister is working at an elementary school where most of the teachers are believers, and I am going there to help a little bit for a week or so. A friend whose is not a believer but whose heart is open is going with me...Could you please pr'ay that the Father will open her eyes and help her know more about Him during our trip and let her feel His presence? Thank you:)

I hope will is well with you...May the Father pour out His blessings, grace, love, peace and joy unto you and your family...


We are so thankful for the work that the Father is doing in East Asia, and we continue to pry for him to move in mighty ways--especially during this season that is a mystery to so many living there.
