This Side of the World

Yesterday in Sunday School class, Dr. Tony Fox brought in a visiting speaker from China. Her English name was Eva, and she is a Christian lawyer. She is involved in the underground churches in China, and is using her legal training to defend the rights of the believers in their churches. It is an amazing story. First of all, her personal background is unbelievable. All of her family members seem to be from a different religion; everything from Confucious to Communism to Deism to Buddhism to Muslim. She got saved at the age of 18, and went to the States and got her law degree. It is so cool to see how God is using this fiery-spirited Chinese girl to do His work. She basically heads up a group of lawyers who are all working together for the cause of Christ, and they must remain low-key to avoid notice by the government as a whole. They do their battles on the local government fronts, and help Chinese Christian pastors know how to use their rights as well. It was very cool to hear of the work going on in China, which is closer to "home" for me than it's ever been before. Keep the Lord's work in your prayers! Pray for the safety of these believers and pray that the Gospel would keep going out and changing lives; whether it be in China, in Guam, or right at your home in the States. God bless! and I will see lots of you soon :) :) I come home in 3 days! :) I will miss this amazing island and the friends I have made, but I knew I would only be here for a semester and have been so blessed. I'm so thankful that God chose to bring me here for the last 3 months. <3
