Hey everyone! It's most likely been a few weeks since I have talked to you, but I wanted to fill you in a little on what has been transpiring during that time. I have been in Beijing since August 10 going through training with the rest of the China Teaching Fellowship teachers. It has been a difficult couple weeks due to the full schedule and demanding curriculum, but I feel much more prepared. Thankfully, it has not been all business. We have had the privilege to visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tienanmen Square, and eat some pretty amazing food. Unfortunately, not all the food has been amazing and has done things to me that I would prefer to not repeat again. I am enjoying getting to know all of the teachers, but I am especially grateful growing closer with the guys on my team. We had a meeting with the president of the organization yesterday and went to dinner with him last night. He spoke to us for a good amount of time sharing in detail what the organization is, what it stands for, and the amazing things He has done through them. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to hear his words. I am so encouraged and that much more ready to impact the the campus for Him. I don't want to say much more because I have to keep it interesting in my upcoming newsletter, but I just wanted to keep you informed and thank you for your support. Thank you again for keeping me in your conversations with Him and please continue to do so. It is vital to His work here in China.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
