Chinaman — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 07:38:23 +0000

The twists and turns potentially ingredients for a nightmare proved again “All things work together for good…” in His Kingdom.

My China Dream; a big step towards becoming a reality

On May 7, 2010, the day of the grand opening of our very first book club, I was standing in front of the club waiting for God to fill it with His glory, excited and anxious like a bridegroom waiting at the altar for his bride. We had exactly 7 days to put everything together, seven

This is a very ambitious dream bordering onto being unrealistic. My mentor very crudely put it, “you are not a young man anymore”.

After dabbling around in a northeastern province for about 8 years, I recently moved to another province in central China. Two old folks and two young girls, both ends of the

When Pastor Noe and Sister Grace were called to serve in Cambodia, they soon found a special burden in their hearts for the children – many of whom are the orphaned, the starving and abused, and unable to attend school. Their desire to help these children led them to purchase the site at Preynob many

Early this year (2009) a team from the Wilds USA came to Doane to transmit the camping knowledge that they have employed in reaching many young Americans to the Lord. That was the birth of e-CAMP at Doane Church. The church is not a novice in the camping ministry having handled hundreds of

Attracting students to bookstores:

A typical bookstore in a Asian campus area needs to look clean and peaceful. It does not need to be fancy or expensive.

It could have a café attached to it, selling affordable drinks and affordable snacks. Besides serving as a place to meet friends, Asian students often use a café as their

Our experience in Evangelistic camping:

In July 2008 we experimented with our first Evangelistic camp in Panay, Philippines. We called it an E-camp. The results of that first E-camp was very encouraging.
