January is almost over and our latest China Team will soon be coming to an end. It is a constant encouragement that so many are prepared to give what it takes to serve China’s abandoned and disabled.
Team leader Judy Elliott shares the latest news:
“As usual, the team has been really good. Despite some tough days, everyone has kept going and worked brilliantly together. At last night’s team meeting, lots of people shared how they have seen signs of change in many of the kids. Babies are becoming more alert and are rolling around as they learn to play. One of the older autistic boys settled down quietly to enjoy a painting session. He finds it hard to concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time, so this was major progress.
Many of the team have also shared that they’ve experienced an amazing time of personal growth, which they didn’t really expect! Jesus is doing things in their lives through the kids, and they are gaining more than they are giving.”
Over the years we’ve come to recognise that God does indeed change lives through our China teams. As well as hugely benefiting the children and young adults, God graciously blesses those who participate.
I’m looking forward to catching up with the team and hearing about all that God has done. Teams are a mix of fun, hard work and vulnerability. There may be challenges along the way, but ultimately, being part of a China Team is a faith building experience.
