Another new year is upon the Chinese as they begin the Year of the Ox. People born during this year are said to be born leaders who will work hard to achieve their aims. They are dependable and great at organizing. While not influenced by others, they are patient and loyal to their friends and expect those qualities in return. They also have long lasting relationships. I don't believe you have to be born in the Year of the Ox to have those qualities. I do think they are the characteristics of the many students who have been recruited recently for the harvest fields!
So much has been happening within Harvesters International lately, it's been a bit overwhelming to know what to say or where to start so the blog has been a bit outdated. We apologize again, and well, some of those Ox attributes are certainly things I lack needless to say! We do appreciate our faithful relationships and those of you who have been supporting the work and ministry we are involved in everyday.
We had our grand opening so to speak at the National Missionary Convention. It is such a privilege to be able to partner with Central Christian College and raise up a whole new generation of laborers from there. We took around 75 students to the convention and had a booth along with Central. No other exhibit offered a full-tuition Bible college education AND training / sending program for the mission field! What a unique opportunity for many who desire to go to the field as fast as possible, with no debt, being fully trained and apprenticed!
Our next event is taking 50 students to Hun Chun China to see the work of CY & Patricia Kim and work alongside fellow alumni Ben & Sara. The first 12 days in April will have us flying over to work in their orphanage, Hope language school, bakery, special needs facility, horse ranch and touring many traditional sites in Beijing like the Great Wall and Temple of Heaven. Please be praying for these students (and five faculty!) as they see a need and realize the urgency among so many lost souls.
