I’m going to China!!!

Well, one of my life-long dreams has been to teach in China. I’ve grown up with the culture my entire life because my grandparents were missionaries in Hong Kong, and that’s where my mom grew up! Anyways, I applied to participate in a teaching program in China in December and was accepted to the organization as a teacher. The next step was how I was going to raise the money needed. Asbury provides the opportunity for students doing summer missions/ministry to apply for the Asbury Initiative Grant. I felt God telling me to persue this option, and so I filled out the application and prayed earnestly. Just last week, I received my acceptance letter for receiving the grant!!! God is so good! I will be teaching English as a Second Language to middle school Chinese teachers for 6 weeks this summer, and now that I have received the grant, the entire trip will be covered and I will be receiving a stipend! I couldn’t ask for more! God has definitely answered several prayers through this…and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to serve him in China!
