Tomorrow Mike will be leaving for two weeks to go on a country side adventure. He will be traveling to a small southern city to share with people that have not had the opportunity to hear the Father's name and many probably have not seen a foreign face before. He and some of the volunteers that are here will get a brief orientation and then they will be given a map and a bus ticket and be sent on their way. When I think of "the ends of the earth" these are the kinds of places I think of. Here are a few of the obstacles that the team might be facing may include but are not limited to...
- new and "special" Cuisine
- Rustic accommodations
- Minimal direction
- Few to no English speakers (go go gadget Chinese Language)
- Many who may not understand standard Chinese
- HOT weather
- 30 hour train rides
The cool things though is that the place if full of beautiful mountains and caves and the chance to shed some light in a place that has been wandering aimlessly in the dark for decades. Please keep Mike in your minds as he embarks on his journey and me and i hold down the fort alone for the next couple of weeks. Thanks so much for all you who are reading this and supporting us.
remembering you Emily as you hold down the fort. I've wondered about all the rain we keep hearing about. Have you guys gotten any flooding there?
ReplyDeletenope, no flooding here - a little bit where mike is at right now - but nothing concerning.
