As we are near the end of this trip, we are coming to realize that this is merely a step on the journey that God has for us. We don't know what God has for us as we return. We wish to take with us the lessons that He has taught us here. We gave away a total of 1,860 Bibles during this trip. That number represents over 18,000 people touched once they make their way into China. The Chinese people have a wonderful way of sharing new stuff with friends, co-workers and relatives. We had an awesome night on the pier last night. There was a couple of groups that attacked the boxes of Bibles like a feeding frenzy. They were so hungry for Bibles. God was so amazing. It was such a privelege to be used by Him in this ministry and to see Him at work.
Today we went to a beautiful garden and elephant park. We got to ride elephants, get picked up by elephants with their trunks, take a picture sitting with a tiger, and prayer walk through beautiful gardens that are visited by thousands of Chinese tourists a day. We are joining in prayer that this venue would allow Bibles to be distributed there as well.
We leave tomorrow morning at 4:30 to head to Bangkok for our 8:00 am flight to Japan and then back home. We are quite worn out and excited all at once at what God has done in and through us this week. We are ready to see the boys and tell them all that we have been able to do. We cannot wait to share photos and stories from this trip with anyone who will sit still for a moment. We are already planning our next one for May 2009. Thanks for your continued prayers as we wrap this up. We will see our small group Sunday morning ready to celebrate the Lord and worship with y'all again.
