Subject: Mission report on 7/27 Saturday



On Saturday morning, the English team left early at 5am to catch their flight back to the US.   It rained almost the entire day; only letting up toward the evening.

The remaining team members (the Mandarin team) were having breakfast when a lady named Sarah approached Ting Han.   She lives in the southern part of France but was visiting Paris to attend a religious meeting.   We chatted with her and learned that while she is a believer, she does not attend church and she is weary about joining a church.  She was a muslim before converting to christianity and spoke briefly about the hardship of being a muslim convert.  She also talked about her desire to make her home in Paris.  We told her about our singing missionary trip and she mentioned that she also likes to sing.  David and Anne prayed for her to have a good visit and find a supportive Christian community and a home church that can give her support and that she will feel comfortable to be a part of.

After breakfast the Mandarin team continued with the 9am devotion and read the story of Jesus walking on water.   While we were all familiar with the story, it became very personal when we realized we had been trying to walk on water during this entire trip.   Putting faith in God to help us to evangelize to strangers.  With this exciting realization, each member shared their experiences.

The rain continued on Saturday and since we were not able to go sing outside near the chinese restaurants we decided to take it easy on this rainy day and offer free activities for the rest of the day and to evangelize if the opportunity came up.
