Being Asian is indeed a bond!

Dear Prayer Warriors,
Through various circumstances and connections (friend of a friend of a friend type thing) that only God can work out, Jean was invited to speak about how it has been growing up as a child of Chinese parents, who emigrated from China. These ladies have children born here in the U.S.

The conversation took a turn, and Jean was able to share the gospel with these ladies last Tuesday.  With the exception of the professor, the ladies have all immigrated to US within the last 10 years and reside in Fort Wayne. Not all of these ladies know the Lord, so please join us in prayer for them to respond to the gospel.


The ladies' names (some have chosen to use "American" names) are:
Back row: (L-R) Alice (missionary retiree), Mary (leader), Mary (Chinese professor), Lilly, Wei, Lucy, Charlene
Front row: Lynn, Ying, Minnie, Barb, Jean, and Boo Ling

What do we actually do?

Dear blog readers:
 
We wish to keep you up-to-date on all we do at the Center.  Here is a bit of what we each do.

John:
  • As Senior Developer, writes software for SonSet® solar-powered radios, inventory & manufacturing, financial and shipping.
  • As I.T. staff, helps with computer-related needs for missionaries, and maintenance of mission computers and networks.
  • As chaplain, teaches Bible studies, and leads & coordinating prayer services.
  • Mentors our interns and apprentices.

Jean:
  • Works in IT as the assistant to the IT manager.  This job is less glamorous than it sounds. She basically sorts files and is currently helping develop our organization's website.
  • Organizes monthly luncheons for the ladies.
  • Fills in at the front desk occasionally.
  • Together with John, hosts any interns, apprentices, and volunteers that have a need. The house is almost always full.

Special prayer request:
John, Jean, and Anina will be traveling to Haiti end of November.  Please pray as we prepare possible special projects that may include setting up a computer lab, good health checks, cooking classes, and even construction.  Please pray for us to be able to share the gospel directly to some one when we go! If you are able to give toward this one-time trip, you can do so directly into our regular account.  Thank you so very much!
