Soon to leave

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update.

Today, Ping is arriving from Shanghai to spend the last week in Taiwan with us. He will be here in YuChih for 5 days before heading back to Taipei with us on Sunday night. (We come back on Wed night).

Lots of people want to see Ping so lots of meals planned with different people. Some visits to the school - we were able to go to some classes yesterday to say bye to students and tell them how blessed we've been and to invite them to Church this Saturday for our last weekend here.

Saturday will be a busy day for us -we are running the youth in the morning with some games, a song perhaps and sharing time - testimonies and encouragement. Then the afternoon will be our last bible study with the senior high school students. Then those students will be cooking us dinner that night at Jasmine's house.

Then that's basically last of our events here in YuChih. In the meantime, we have lots of letters and cards to write (in both English and Chinese) and there will be lots of tears and hugs as we say goodbye. We will continue to be seeing students from the junior high school often each day - usually after school. So please keep praying for them and for our witnessing to them.

Please pray for our health - we've both recovered from our colds but still coughing and a bit of congestion - feel a LOT better though. Ping we hear is sick though.
Please pray for Saturday's activities. Pray for translation - I think we as well as Ping will be speaking a lot of Chinese that morning.
Please pray for our bible study group on Saturday arvo and for their commitment to the Church here.

We've been so encouraged and greatly touched by so many people here. God has really blessed us. We've had a couple of people even share with us how they want to step up more and do more and they want to help after we leave. So that is an encouragement for sure.

We can only trust God that He will continue to grow His Church and His people.

Thanks everyone for your loving support.

- Mikey
