The school blessed us so much with food, umbrellas, t-shirts and towels! During the...

Public Parks are available scattered across the city weaved inbetween the busiest roads you could imagine! Scooters swarm back and forth, uncautionary...

Coming from Tropical Islands to China-Beijing is quite a shock, it’s hugely different! And I suddenly longed for the small town life I was so familiar with. But the time in China was unique; it was a stage of growth, learning, pondering and experience. Sometimes it’s difficult far from home but I know God’s purpose is far greater than I can imagine.
