Chad being baptized by Jim
Hey gang!
Yesterday I left Paul’s at 9am and was supposed to fly out of Hong Kong at 12:30pm to Beijing. My flight was delayed until 6:30pm and this without knowing what gate until 45 minutes before. After some baggage trouble I finally got to a hotel around midnight and we were up this morning at 7am. I rode on a bullet train that went 293 km/hr which is I think about 180 mph. Then we went on a subway and then a “jump jump” which is a red golf cart only smaller and more fragile, the wrong way down the highway and the wrong way on an exit ramp. It was an experience.
Once we arrived we met 5 or 6 of Jim’s student here in Tianjin. And then I got to be part of something I will never forget. We sang and did a study and then got to see a student named Chad be sprinkled. He met the Father last semester after a long pursuit of the truth and is growing like crazy. It was awesome! Please lift him up and his brothers and sisters Victoria, Star, Kara, and John. They are so vibrant and fun.

This afternoon we went out and played soccer with some students and then went to dinner downtown with 3 of Jim’s teachers. They are a courageous bunch. Father is on the move.
More to come,
