Leaning on Xueing in Love

Cornell, Xueing, Madalina and Violeta

We had a great meeting with Americans, Romanians and Chinese all at the Greek restaurant. We talked about Buddist, Orthodox, God, Jesus and anything else that came up....It was awesome!
This was another interesting day for us. I invited Violeta, Madalina and Cornell all new repenters to meet with Xueing. At the end we took this picture and Madalina decided to give her a big hug. It was very interesting to hear these two new believers...Madalina and Violeta (with in the last two weeks gave there lifes to Christ)...defend there faith. Xueing kept asking question after question and has decided that Christianity is just too narrow for her. She is going to look into the historical evidence and then make a decision. She doesn't seem to be moving towards Christ at all but Christ is moving towards her. She asked these new believers many questions, actually even Cornell is really only six months old spiritually speaking. He gave his life to Christ the same week that Bogdon did. Any way we talked about everything under the sun. It was sad to see her moving away from the claims of Christ. One of the main things that keeps her from following Him is the fact that almost no one in China knows about Him and if he really existed they would know about this, .....pray for Xueing as she leaves Galati tomorrow morning. I gave her three extremely good books to study that are centered on WHY we believe what we belive.

I was so proud of Vileta and Madalina as just two weeks ago when we were on lesson five in the John Studies they still had not surrended to Christ. Last week when we did lesson one in the Faith Power book they said that they had made a decision for Christ and that they were reading there Bibles now. So today just four days after this lesson they acted, talked and responded to Xueing as repenters and tried to defend their new faith. IT WAS GREAT!

On the Zone 6 front...Bogdon has had two more people tell him that they want to repent. One is Paula's brother and the other is Paula's sister. Actually a couple more have come forward to repent in the valley also.....(PTL)

Pray for Xueing -I really fell in love (like that of a father you wise guys) with this wonderful young lady from Beijing....I pray that someday God will show her mercy and grant her repentance!!
