The Summer Palace
Here are some highlights from each of the days we were in China...
Sunday...we have been traveling for two days and have had a decent nights sleep. We are heading to church this morning to celebrate Easter with people from around the world at the International Christian Fellowship. This is a church where you have to show your passport to enter because Chinese nationals are not allowed to attend. There were people from over 70 different countries worshiping there together.
Today as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ I was reminded of a quote that impacted me and left me thinking.
"Resurrection means that the worst thing won't be the last thing."
After church we went to the Summer Palace and did a bit of sight seeing. In the evening we went to dinner and met with a Chinese man who shared with us about the church in China. He lost his job for being too outspoken about Christ and it was amazing to hear his story. He is very upbeat and excited about all that is happening and was not at all defeated by his change of position. He saw each day as an opportunity to tell others about Christ.
At the end of the day we were all exhausted and feel asleep quite early as the next day we were heading to the Great Wall.
