Dusty town in China

Dusty town in China

Spending time in a dusty town in the middle of China, spending time in the Snow Mountains, freezing to death and eating ice-cream all in one day!

Our time in our little dusty town has really been great, the Lord has really provided and given as more than we could ever imagine.

We spent our first few days in our little town, building relationship and praying for the tow every moment we could.It was really challenging to communicate and even after a few days of searching we could not find a single person who can speak even a word of English. We finally decided to go and spend a few days in the mountains as it started to get a bit warmer.

 What a great day we had, we actually wanted to go and spend 3 or 4 days in the mountains.

After our first night we of no sleep, spending most of the night in prayer and almost freezing to death we decided to return to our hotel as it really looked like it would snow. Not knowing that the blue team would be at the hotel waiting for us. What a great surprise.

 We have spent the last few days in hours of fellowship with God, reading from the Word and listening to teachings like "The Bible in 24hours", also going out into the town to build relationship, drink tea with the locals and just praying for the town and the people of the area is part of our each day What a great time of growing in the Lord and building on Him. The Lord has really blessed us in this time!

We will most likely be leaving this town in the next few days, leaving the blue team behind and later meeting up again for some debrief time with the rest of the team.

Blessings,
Herman
