Chinese Connection

Music crosses all boundaries. When verbal language is sometimes hard to understand, music seems to convey a music that is understood by all. Though not personally familiar with the tunes, the dance moves or the Chinese instruments used, I appreciated the musicians and their skilled performances.

At tonight's SA Historical Society Chinese Connection event, Commissioner Wesley Harris reminded us that "spirituality transcends nationality". The language of love is always understood when actively expressed. It is also the basic need of people the world over.

I came away from this most informative evening greatly encouraged by past Army pioneers of Chinese ministry in Australia and China, inspired by the current stories of courageous evangelism and outreach that enable faithful servants to share God's love without discrimination and blessed by witnessing the commitment of God's people to continue living the mission on into the future. Praise God for effective ministry amongst Chinese speaking people in these days!

Pray with me for God's richest blessing upon our community ministries in Box Hill, Mitcham, Richmond, Springvale and Waverley and the dedicated officer personnel leading them.
