After a LONG 24-30 hours of travelling we finally arrived in Hong Kong about 1000 at night. We took the train into the city and arrived at the Grand Blossom house where we have a little apartment to stay in. It's in the Hung Hom area of the city. The rooms are tiny but cozy. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms... but enough boring details.

We got up the next morning and visited IECC where we heard a great message on Song of Solomon, ran into some old friends (a guy from Auburn and a lady who works w/ the staff of the english teaching trips that I've been on the past 2 summers) and are just trusting that He is placing people around us to be a part of our little story in God's amazing one. I am so humbled to be here and walking around in this city. I am typing this from a very familiar coffee shop, Pacific Coffee, in Festival Walk. (a ri-dic-a-lous-ly large mall). This is where we hung out often the past 2 summers. It feels strangely comfortable, even home-ish, to be here. I really love this place and all that is here. My heart is longing to see this place have more worshippers of Him. I know a few, but relative to the huge population, it's still only a few. Still He is moving and I am desperate to be a part of it.

Passion is this thursday. Please think of us as we seek to serve the people here. Pray that He would bring people to Himself and that they would see the hugeness of God. What we do know is that those who are in the church are often shallow and wavering in their faith. Pray people would show up and experience the reality of Him. Pray that I would also experience the reality of Him. I see my need for Him every moment. Even though I am glad to be here I know a place or a person will never do for me what my God does for me. I hope we all will see that HE is the adventure. Yes, I am on one right now. It is still overwhelming/surreal that we are here in HK, right in the middle of the semester, but even more so, HE REMAINS THE ADVENTURE. HE is what's exciting and seeing His hand all over this place is what keeps me going.

Can't wait to see what He has next... He is a good father who gives good gifts... ultimately Himself. Praise be to Him who sits on the throne and reigns over all and is in all.
