hi there everyone. bud and i are thinking and praying about hong kong and all that is in our future regarding it. i've been terribly nostalgic and missing my home away from home, so i thought i'd post some pictures for you, so you can see what has gone on. i'll try to add captions as well and why the pictures mean so much to me. some are serious and some are just fun. i hope you enjoy.(p.s. until i can get bud to fix the html, some of the photo's are cut off. so just click on them to see the full photo.)
fun times in hong kong:
po ying birthday party. you can't really get around hong kong without her!
po ying's party in pak wai tsuen, north sai kung area.
you really can't get around hong kong without maggie cho either!
maggie again. i think this photo is just too cute!
although she is not a native, i met cami in hong kong. well, i met her in person in hong kong!
friends were made. they are so special to us. we email back and forth as much as possible and stay in touch. but its just not the same as being there with them.
food and tourism in hong kong:
this will hopefully be one of the first things i'll eat in hk when we go back! french toast, peanut butter and honey. :drool:
iced lemon tea, or "dung ling mun cha". the best invention of tea. i dont know why its so good. (so is milk tea but i dont have a picture of it.)
top one noodle, shatin mall. wonton soup - my most favorite soup. i could eat it everyday!
green chopsticks in fanling. they are so nice there and we have become friends with the waitress. she's awesome.
shatin at night. beautiful!
sheung shui, hong kong.
star ferry at night. coming from hong kong island and going back to kowloon/new territories.
at the harbor! azn fingers!
tsim sha tsui at night. oh man its a great place!
the goal of hong kong, to help those to see Christ, to understand their depraved state and to let Him change their hearts:
entrance to our village. we lived in tsz tong tsuen. in our backyard and up a few hundred steps, you reach a temple where people burn incense and hell money to honor and worship their ancestors.
our village in fanling, tsz tong tsuen. you can see a shrine type thing at the bottom of the hills, joss sticks and all. this village needs prayer and the spiritual weight you felt when living there would only be lifted by the hope and grace of Jesus Christ.
the temple behind our house. this is just the entry way, if you want to see more pictures let me know. the grounds of the temple are immaculant. full of gargoyles and fish ponds and turtle ponds and scupltures. you can see a person walking in to burn incense in this photo.
people are burning hell money to pay and "bless" their ancestors that have passed away. this is very difficult to watch.
tseng lan shue, sai kung. this is where bud and i moved to be closer to his work. in this village there were at least 6 shrines and mini temples for people to worship their ancestors.
and last but not least, worship that we were able to join in. its the most remarkable thing. the chinese people, those that love the Lord, pray fervently, pray without ceasing, groan in the Spirit and God meets them where they are and shows them His truth and His light. they pour out their hearts to Him and long to know Him and experience Him more. i only got one picture from church but i think it shows a lot!
sunday worship at the vineyard in kowloon.
with this church we went on an outreach at the beach. we didn't personally talk to people but witnessed people in the church doing so and we prayed a lot for the people there.
clearwater bay outreach.
we're so happy to be here!
hong kong is ripe for God's word and truth to go forth. laborers are needed. praise the Lord for the opportunity to be apart of this work the Lord is doing. :) hope you enjoyed the pics. :)
agape,
christin joy.
