This past week we entered our last two months of our time in Beijing. The question weighing heavy on my mind is how to leave the brothers affirmed, encouraged and empowered. We met today after the morning assembly for lunch and a two-hour meeting. We will continue this format every Sunday we can until we leave so that we can have the maximum time together. Today, though the circumstances differ greatly, I understand a little bit more what Jesus felt when he was trying to prepare the disciples for his departure.
Besides the dozen or so brothers in the Wangjing church where we have served for 7 1/2 years, there is the fledging church in Wukesong which only started last year. How is it going to survive? Will someone be raised up to nurture and lead that small flock?
I am comforted by the truth that Jesus is the head of the church and he loves her more than I ever could.
For wisdom we pray.
