This week looked a bit different because the Fall DTS just returned from outreach. We actually got the opportunity to meet with the Fall Ch!na team and hear their stories. It was SO encouraging and got me even more excited to leave in just 27 DAYS! Ahhh I cannot WAIT to go!! :) We also found out we will get an opportunity to go to another city in Ch!na and teach at a government-run church. In case I haven’t already explained this, here is an explanation of the churches in Ch!na: There are 3 different types of churches. 1) International churches: anyone who is not a citizen of Ch!na can go in as long as they have their passport and the pastors can teach whatever they want (for the most part). 2) Government run churches: anyone can go but the pastors have to have their material approved by government appointed officials so they can only teach certain things from the bible. They regulate it because they don’t want the Ch!nese citizens to be taught anything bad about the government. 3) Underground churches: churches that meet in secret (apartments, ect.) to share the love of Jesus freely to whoever comes. That is why it is such a big deal that we will get the opportunity to teach at a government run church where everything is extremely filtered by the government. There was also a testimony night where all of the teams that returned spoke about their trip and we got to watch a recap video from each team. I will try to see if I can get the Ch!na teams and post it so you get a glimpse of the ministry in Ch!na. Please continue to pray for my team and our ministry that will start in just 27 days!!!
For those who have been wondering, my teammate got all of her support in!! I am still not quite there. I have a small window of time/grace period. I am unsure of my current balance at this time. I'm guessing I need about $2600. Please prayerfully consider supporting me. You can do so online at:
You can send mail and checks to:

I am deeply humbled by everyone's support, prayers and compassion for my ministry. Thank you to all who have been reading and praying each step of the way.
Love,
Christy
