Sunday Morning in Hong Kong

We walked from the church Sunday morning in Hong Kong to a mission house for more Bible study time. The all women congregation of mostly Filipinos work here in Hong Kong as domestic workers (house keepers). Sunday is their only day off so they spend all day at church. Since the space they rent for Sunday morning worship is paid hourly, as soon as service is dismissed they tear down all their equipment and decorations and hurry over to the mission house for lunch and more teaching. Their spirit is hungry for more of God's word and their hearts are very humble. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and Julie shared a great teaching about the Garden of Gethsemane experience of Christ as well as the believer.

Hey Natalie and Jolly,

Thank you so much for leaving a message it is comforting to hear from home. We miss yall and everyone at church alot. We have had an adventure in just our first few days in Hong Kong. Many interesting sights and smells. I will say one things it isn't chinese buffet food around here. Thank you Jesus for Pizza Hut and Mc Donalds. It always amazes me to see all the people all over the world and the different way they live. One thing we all have in common though is that Jesus loves us all just the way we are.

Love You Guys, Julie T
PS Happy B-day Maribel the big 30

And we're very thankful at JESUS LOVES YOU CHURCH- HONG KONG for being with us and giving us once more an inspiration through holding on God's promises. Overflowing anointing was on you as you we're teaching at the Mission House. For sure we will see each other again, and perhaps we can also take you to Philippines next time.
