We so easily say God's our be all and end all. Being in a new country every month, having to adapt to new cultures and different weather just about every 4weeks we find comfort in our Bibles, God and time spent with Him. Even if we lack in commitment toward spending time with Him, at least we know He's always there.

Locals speak a funny language and have a really weird alphabet. They aren’t open to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  And the closest you’ve ever been to speaking Chinese is shing, chong, sha!

Have you ever really thought about what being woman and Christian means?

And now I do not mean being a woman of Christ through pouring tea after church, baking & quot;malva pudding" for the church fare, attending your all women Bible Study or remembering the minister’s birthday.
