What's up y'all!!
So we have a
friend named Bruce. He's from mainland China right. The missionaries have been
teaching him English and the Gospel of Jesus Christ for about 6 months now.
This man is awesome. We meet with him 4x a week to help him and he is always
coming with more and different "Bruce-snacks"(Chinese snacks ranging
from a sponge cake that could outlast a Twinkie by at least a century to vacuum
packaged spicy tofu). Then on his off days on Tuesday he always invites us over
to cook us an authentic Chinese meal. He's so awesome.
It's been so
cool working with him though. Just last week he was talking about how being a
Christian is hard back in China. He said, "if someone ask me 'Bruce, are
you Christian?' it is difficult to tell them but deep down, my first thought is
"Yes. I believe in Jesus. Yes, I believe in Jesus".
This week
we asked him. "Bruce, is baptism your goal?" And he said "yes
brothers, it is very hard for me, but yes I want it". Please please please
pray for Bruce. If there is anything you get from this email it's PRAY FOR
BRUCE. This is a man who 6 months ago couldn't tell you anything about Jesus
Christ besides that he was a leader and now he has faith in Him unto repentance
and believes that it is through Him that he can be truly happy, and ultimately
be saved. For reasons we can't fully understand because of the language and
culture barrier, this is a very hard decision for him. Please pray for him. He
needs strength and faith beyond his own.
We're fixing to have a great week y'all. Looking forward to
tell y'all about it!
