We arrived at SEATAC at 5:05 am this morning, Sunday, June 1. It was a smooth, uneventful trip and all of us were able to get some sleep as we flew. Leaving Beijing required three separate TSA type screenings and one major pat down. I got an opportunity to share the Gospel with a Chinese national on the plane. He was coming to complete his MBA in LA. He said he had no faith but had a girlfriend who is a Christian. I prayed out loud, with his permission, that God would reveal Himself very clearly to him and that he would soon have no more fears about what happens after death.
The Peking duck experience on Saturday night was delightful. People there said that Beijing is the best place in the world to get Peking duck. After the meal we spent time praying for a young Chinese Korean professional woman who desires to know what God desires for her over the coming years.
One correction we need to make regarding the BBC video clip that many of you watched is that the students at PUST are not necessarily from elite families as it states, but rather they are elite students--very high academic records-- that have had to prove themselves on entrance exams. Some are from elite families but many are from families of various backgrounds including farming.
Thanks to Marla for fleshing out the brief emails that I sent from Beijing, writing the blog entries, due to the fact that I was unable to access this blog from there. I am going to try to add some pictures to the older posts over the next day or so and possibly more details about parts of our trip that have not been covered in the previous entries, so don't forget to check back.
Thanks for your effective prayers.
