God truly took us on an adventure with Him and it is amazing to look back at all He has done. I spent a lot of time in God’s Word and this was a great blessing. I would like to share what I learned.
We were surely “entering” the devils territory and stepping on his toes. Struggling for 8 hours to enter Mainland China the police re-directed us to another town, as the one we were heading toward was “off-limits” for Westerners. The set-up for China was already planned, but God had something different in mind.

In His time He revealed His perfect plan to us, the one He had in mind and not ours.
ROMANS 12:2 “ Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and PERFECT WILL."
The teams split up and spend two weeks traveling to different towns. We spent most of our time in God’s Word and prayer. Meeting amazing people that we could share the gospel with, as God truly planned Divine Appointments for us.
China can get very challenging in terms of disgusting squatty toilets, people spitting around you, eating manners, which will grieve Emsie Schoeman, with noodles 3 times a day. God challenged me when I read the verse in Philippians where Paul says that he is content with EVERYTHING. Can I truly say that I am content where I am, what I have and for what God called me to?
PHILIPIANS 4:12-13 “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being CONTENT in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”
Thank you very much for your love, support,e-mails and blog-comments.
I miss you all very much!!!!
