Scripture of the Day

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 30-31

Visa Issued Resolved - Going Home


At about 7:30 p.m. local time, we received a phone call and the great news from our CCAI representatives, Grace and Kathy, that Duo Duo's passport's visa had been issued! Praise God!

Grace and Kathy brought up the passport and visa package at around 7:45 p.m. They told us that the consulate was able to figure out the system glitch. Again, praise God! They were so happy for us and hugged us. They were worried about the situation. During our conversation, Kathy said that she believed that it was power of prayer that brought the visa issue to a resolution. Indeed, God has used the situation to testify about his power and might.

We shared to Grace and Kathy of how Simon's grandma would always pray when facing an obstacle or trial. Grandma prayed when she brought Selina and Simon to the U.S. over 40 years ago having limited English and never having flown on a plane. God is really good! We really rejoice in Him! Duo Duo can now go home with us!

And, thanks to the many of our friends and family in Guangzhou, Houston, Memphis, England, and other localities who have been praying for us. We firmly believe that the collective prayer support and God's goodness helped resolved our situation.

We are now packing to go home. We pray that God will give us safe travel back. And, by God's grace, this should be our last posting here in Guangzhou. Again, praise God! Praise God!

Please continue to pray for us. Pray for a safe return home without any additional hiccups. And, pray that Duo Duo will do well (and not be too fussy) on our long flight home.

God bless you. Zaijian (goodbye) from China. We'll see you back in the States.
