Christmas day in sunny Hong Kong

We just had the most awesome brunch. Last night we went out for supper and shopping after a day of preparing food for today. On Saturday night we went to the Hong Kong Stadium, which makes the Sky Dome look small, for a City wide Christmas Celebration. It was put on by the people who started the Global Day of Prayer in Hong Kong. I have never experienced anything like it. There was 10,000 people which is small when you think of all the people in Hong Kong. There was dancing, drama, worship and it ended with a message from a pastor in his forties and a pastor in his twenties. I have never heard preaching like it. Their message was on reconciliation between parents and children. They were encouraging the Chinese youth to go after God's dream and not the dream of their parents to make lots of money. This was the same message we heard back in Hawaii that Loren Cunningham had told the American Asians back on his tour of the West Coast of America and Canada. This must really be on God's heart for the Chinese. It was awesome to see so many Chinese youth worshipping God. At the end they gave an alter call and half the stadium literally ran to the front. I have never witnessed people run to accept Jesus! I have to go, we still have to get Maelyn a present. Oh yea, she lost a tooth yesterday. That's two since we started this trip! Have an awesome day. Remember it's all about love and not presents. Maelyn learned this today when she woke up to no presents but a team that loves her. They sacrificed going to church last night (a Korean tradition) to be together as a team having fun last night. Michael, we miss you! This is our first Christmas in 26 years not being with you. We are thinking alot about you today. You are in our prayers. Remember Jesus is Lord of your life! Be good!
