Another Day In China

Posted: July 23, 2008 in Friends, Life, People, Travel

It was amazing to see all the views and comments from yesterday. I am so glad that I was finally able to connect. I am sure that you are also glad that I finally connected as well. Thanks for being patient.

I wanted to take a minute to brag on the students I have brought on this China Leadership Camp. They have been champions. The connections that they have made with the Chinese students will last for a very long time. The impact from those relationships will change their lives forever. The language barrier wall has been torn down and communication is excellent. Their smiles and joy that our students are pouring into their culture is contagious. The cross-cultural experience is well worth the money that got every student here. I could not be more proud.

I received a vision from “DAD” yesterday for when we return home. For those of you who live in the Sulphur Springs area, it was revealed to me that we live in a culture and community that is often lukewarm. We are a bit to comfortable and content. I hope to be bringing back a chunk of leaders who are on-fire with the vision to completely change and revive our community of faith. Revival is needed.

On a different note: 

We introduced the Chinese people to dodgeball yesterday. It was insanely fun. I want to apologize to all the people that I drilled with my still-hanging-on-by-a-thread-former-fastball-throwing-arm. There is no middle switch though. It is either off or on. I get a little intense (check out the dodgeball picture for proof).

We also experienced “Fashion Show Night” where all of the students dressed up in crazy outfits. It was hilarious. We had everything from a full body suit to two foot high hair to many other insane outfits. What a great night!

Enjoy the pictures:
