My Dear Great Ones,
Underneath this massive sign, located near Temple Street, a popular and touristy marketplace selling cheap goods, is a small alleyway. Two ladies, homeless due to the crazy, exorbitant, Hong Kong housing rental rates, which they have no hope of paying, live under this sign in the alleyway. They have been there for almost two years with all their earthly possessions, or more accurately what is left of their possessions, since much of it was stolen, cluttered nearby. Yet, despite their dire circumstances they always have smiles on their faces when Celia and I visit them about twice a month with the Fuk Lam church outreach. This outreach along with a few other mission organizations provide, food, clothing, medicine, but most importantly friendship and Godly encouragement to these women, plus many others nearby, who are completely relying on God's grace to survive. Last Tuesday Celia and I visited the ladies again with our friends from Fuk Lam. This time not only did we bring food and encouragement but also a projector and a guitar. The projector projected the lyrics of worship songs at the the base of the wall where, "Jesus is Lord," is painted, and allowed the ladies and us to sing along with the minister of Fuk Lam. How perfect was that? While most of the lyrics were written in Chinese there was one English chorus which Celia and I sang out in gusto. "Sing Halleleujah to (the) Lord." Was great. Please pray for Fuk Lam church. Their mission to bring Jesus to their neighbors is beautiful.
A few curious onlookers.
God bless you all and have a great week!
Love adios and ping on!
Dirk
