The World’s Most Beautiful Voyage – Your Life

Today I viewed this beautiful video below promoting a “cruise” through the fjords of Norway.  The astonishing scenery displayed God’s artistic touch in creation.  As the video closed with the line “The world’s most beautiful voyage,” I thought that, actually, the most beautiful voyage in the world is the journey of your life in God.  Our lives are the masterpiece of Jesus Christ, who is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Embrace your life and enjoy every moment with God!

Last week, I flew back to China after spending my Christmas holiday in LA with family.  It was good to have a little break in sunny Southern California after 2 weeks in Iceland, and now I am back in the cold of winter, in the below-freezing weather of SJZ.

I was very glad to see Ammi and be reunited with her again, and we were able to spend New Year's Eve in BJ, celebrating the arrival of 2012.  May this year be a glorious one in the Lord.  Amen!

I will be in China until mid-February, and there are much to do while I am here.  I will seek to post weekly updates here, so check back for the latest news.  Blessings to you in this new year.

back in { us }

I’ve just returned to the US after 1.5 months in China.  It is nice to be back in warm, sunny Southern California after living in a cold place with no heat!  God is good.  Aside from the freezing temperatures, I had an amazing time in SJZ with Ammi, and our relationship is progressing beautifully.  Praise the Lord!

I will fly back to China after Christmas, to be with Ammi again, and to minister in various places around that country.  But before that, I will be heading to Iceland for a short ministry trip.  I am planning to send out an official newsletter soon.

Please keep me in your prayers, for God to strengthen me as I close out this year strong in the Lord, for all the necessary funds to be supplied for these kingdom works, and for His grace and favor, and His hand of protection and guidance, to be upon my life.

Thanks and God bless!

trip to { south } china

Earlier this month Ammi and I took a trip to Shanghai, Fuzhou, SongXi, WuYiShan, and Xiamen.  Ammi flew on airplanes for the first time in her life!  In Shanghai, we met up with Ammi's friend, who took us on a quick tour of the city center.

Upon our arrival in Fuzhou, my cousin Weixin came to pick us up at the airport.  We were able to meet my uncle and aunt as well.  Ammi had never seen the sea before, so Weixin drove us out to the beach the following day, and it was a wonderful time for Ammi.

Later we went out to SongXi, a small town in the mountains, and I spend 2 days teaching and leading worship for the young people there. We prayed for sick and saw several amazing healing miracles too!  Praise Father for His love towards us!  I am planning to write more in detail about what happened in an upcoming newsletter. My parents also came out to SongXi and met us there.

After SongXi, we all went to spend a day sightseeing at WuYiShan, a famous national park in China.  Check out the photos: http://goo.gl/gryVt

Flying back to SJZ the day after our time at WuYiShan, Ammi and I had a stopover in Xiamen, and we took a taxi out to the main harbor, before heading back for our return flight to SJZ.  See the harbor shots: http://goo.gl/ymc1a

Overall, we had a splendid time, going to all these different places on a single trip!  We met many new friends, and experienced His goodness and blessings throughout.  Thank Father =D
