How strange to be on the other half of the world (notice I say "other half" because to the Hong Kong residents, we live in the other half of the world). Cloudy skies, trees in bloom, shirt-sleeve weather, and people all over the place. I was astounded again at the airport at the amount of people. I waited in line for 45 minutes to pass through immigration and another 20 minutes to wait for a taxi.
I was able to sleep soundly for 6 1/2 hours so by 8:15 am I felt rested and ready to go. Pastor/Missionary Carl Hanson called to see when we might get together for conversation. By 9:30, I was finished with shower and breakfast and ready to talk.

Carl shared with me the present strategy of the Asia mission. It helped me feel like I was a part of the work here; and I am!

Right after our conversation, I caught the subway to Tai Wo to meet Kara Fok, a participant in the 2012 In-Depth Bible Seminar. We met two of her church brothers and then went to the dim-sum restaurant for lunch. It was so good to see her again; active as a church leader, discussion leader, and willing to share her faith with others.

If you know me, you understand by now that I must talk about food - it appeals to me so much.
The young people (mostly upper high school, college age, and young adults) were having a Bible study at Kara's church, Tai Wo Evangelistic Fellowship. I decided to join them at 3 pm. Bible study led by Tony (layman) on Job 1:1-8. Sang, prayed, some large group sharing and then we broke up into small groups. Back into large group for sharing and then for a time for flyer distribution (Gospel meeting next week Saturday). What a warm and loving group.
