One Trip, One College, One Destination

For something different this year during Outreach Week April 2 - 13, we were asked by C.Y. & Patricia Kim to have one school trip to China and work with Ben & Sara, two of our alumni who have been working with the Kim's for three years and we believe it was a perfect opportunity. Thirty-eight students and 7 faculty and staff went together and had an amazing time seeing what God was doing in one of the darkest areas of the world. Working in smaller groups everyday at 5 different locations, we were able to see a vision that surpasses most other works in a difficult land. With the Hope Language School, an orphanage, a special needs school, a bakery and a Horse Therapy Ranch. And that's only what is in Hun Chun, China! Much more is being accomplished in North Korea including feeding the street children with breads from the bakery. C.Y.'s original vision only began 10 years ago and all this has already been done as the Holy Spirit guides them in planting a foundation for what is sure to be a massive harvest in the future. They believe in the Sovereignty of God and that he can blind the minds of unbelievers as they take in God's word and work as Christians in a persecuted area. Our group became unified as we saw the need and saw the many Chinese who still need to hear of a Savior. We have some who are planning on returning this summer for their internships and others willing to go full time, making it one of the best recruitment trips we have taken. It's going to be exciting to see what God is going to do with so many alumni from Central in China in the future!
