This is one of the darkest week of my life. But as with all dark moments, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The regular church that I attend here in Beijing - the BICF (Beijing International Church Fellowship) starts a new 'church' right in the condominium where I reside. And the first service (today) is on Easter Sunday. The day Christ was risen from his death at the Cross.
Its SO exciting to be part of the 'birth' of a new Church. Small but I am sure the numbers will grow. I like that the 'motto' of the Church is to reach out to the unchurched. Its so in line with what Clare and I have started to pray for recently and what we have committed ourselves to. To reach out to the non-christian friends amongst us.
Was prayed for and also made some new friends.
Wish I can pray a bigger role in this new Church but my days here are likely to be numbered. I am not ready to leave Beijing, the city where I embraced the Lord, where I had my first regular regular church and where I had my first cell group. Its been a amazing journey which had just started.
But I would leave it to the Lord to lead me to whether he wants to lead me too. I plead for his strength to see me through the days ahead.
At the meantime, its just AWESOME that I have a church service right where I stay. I will never forget this day.

blessed easter! yes, as you say, trust in Him. He knew us before we were created; His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways higher than our ways.
you just need to love the people you love, say a little prayer, and leave the rest to God.
From Azalea who is leaving Formosa in 3 weeks time to Mysteries Of Life who is leaving the Forbidden City in 3 months time: The fact that God has led us to trust in him in a foreign land shows how much He loves us and He is too good to let us stay where we are. Everything is in God's timing.
