Chinese bible study farewell - sad but trusting God

I felt sad today ... I met chinese bible study group for the last time ... I've grown a lot through this bible study and God has provided me with His rich blessings through my brothers and sisters ... Their simple trust in the Lord has taught me a lot ... I want to surrender my whole life to Him ... Even though I won't see them in a long time, but I believe I will see them in heaven, rejoicing ....

I met
  • A jin - a sister that only speaks Dutch and Mandarin ... I could not say a word to her other than little mandarin ... but she cried for me today ... I felt so moved, but of course I hid my tears and tried so hard not to let it out ...
  • I met Anton, the leader of the Chinese group who is blessed with good leadership and bible knowledge .. His faith in the Lord is great ...
  • Anna, the missionary is considered as one Christian that made a huge impact in my Christian growth ...
  • Zhujin and Veliana were the two friends that I share my problems with sometimes ... and many more ...
  • Cho wei always greet me with his smile .. He couldn't say many words to me, but his actions really made me welcome to the group ... I appreciated his love in the Lord ...
  • Kent has always been my good brother and there is a chance he might migrate to Australia in a few years ...
  • etc ...

I am currently reading the gospel of John and wonder how the disciples must have felt when Jesus told them that He is leaving them and come back to the Father ... I am also reminded about Paul leaving the ephesus elders ... Maybe I am feeling the same way right now ... But I entrust my brothers and sisters to God's hands ... I believe God is able to protect them and bring them safely home ... *I feel like crying now* ...

I said to the group today to remember that they all have one brother now in Australia ... Here's the photo of the group ... I will always remember all of you in my prayer and will definitely be in touch ... God is Immanuel ...

Me and Anna

The whole group
