Winning The Lottery

In all of our time overseas, our hearts are at peace that we may never see someone actually commit to knowing the Father. This does not stop us from working for Him and giving Him all of the glory. We know without a doubt that Father is working in this place and that we are never guaranteed to see the end results or the produce of the harvest.

In the midst of spending time with teams, Father was continuing to passionately pursue the hearts of our students. Chris and a team member from back home were able to lead one of our older students in the commitment to become a follower. We are beyond excited to share with you that we are now celebrating a new sibling that has been added to His family! It really does feel like we just won the lottery, because we were able to experience this student’s name being written in the book of Life!

We know how much has been poured into this student’s life, not just by us, but also by multiple family members over the last several years, to build the foundation of the love of the Son within him. It is a pure bonus to see him commit his life to the King. We pry now for his personal sprtual growth and that he will follow in the proclamation by going swimming. We pry that he surrounds himself with fellow family members and that he will fall deeply in love with the Father.

Orphanage

Many of you know that our relationship with the orphanage has continued to develop and grow over the past year. Each time we visit, we never know what to expect. We usually go in knowing that we will have 15 minutes max, we won’t be allowed to take pictures, and we may not be able to see any kids or elderly. The potty-chair delivery visit was very successful because the manager asked us to stay for a meal and spend a little longer with the workers. Each time we visit, we ask her what the upcoming needs are, and she said they need clothing for 30 elderly.

When the 10-day team and our shepherd and his family came to our town, we took them to the orphanage to deliver clothing for 30 elderly in addition to awesome gifts and items they donated from back home in the states. The manager was extremely thankful and allowed us to stay longer than we ever have before. She was overjoyed to meet the team who represents the people back home that have continued to help us supply their needs over the last year. Some of the kids and elderly were outside in the courtyard and the team was able to spend time with them. She even allowed for pictures!! We were blown away by the progress this visit has provided and we continue to look forward to the next visit! Father is opening doors for His love to be poured out to those in need.

After we left the orphanage, we went to a local Yi village to meet our sister’s family and share a meal in their home. This was everyone’s (including our) first time to visit this particular village. The sister’s family does not know that she is a family member. Her family participates in ancestral worship and she is the only one in her family who trusts in the Son. While in the village, she shared with us her deepest fears about what will happen when she is responsible for burying her parents when they pass, as she is the oldest sibling in her family. We ask specifically that Father will give her an overwhelming sense of boldness that as she has committed to be a follower of the Son, that she will have the confidence from the HS to share with her family.

The Joy From Teams

The last several weeks of the semester were spent back to back with various teams. Having teams join this side of the world is a crucial part to the work being done over here. They can reach a large number of students in the time they are here quicker than just the two of us can. Groups of students flock to them and relationships are formed quickly and deeply. We are able to follow up with these students and continue to pursue them when teams go back home. Our work here expands tenfold anytime a team is on this campus and not only are we revived and grateful, but we are also refreshed.

We were beyond blessed by the unique opportunity to spend time with a team of 4 girls and 2 guys from North Carolina. It was an honor to watch them spread the message on our campus. Each one of them passed out good books to students they connected with during their time here. We specifically pry for those students who received a good book, that they may dive into His Word and that Father will reveal Himself to them in a powerful way. It was so much fun opening up our home for laundry, chicken spaghetti, and game nights with them. During this time, two friends from back home also came over for several weeks and continued to build relationships with these students. It was such a treat to see friends whom we’ve known for a long time!

The 10-day team came and everyone did an awesome job doing life on campus and taking every opportunity they had to share the good news. We are always thankful to have extra hands and feet join us on the field.

Coming Soon!!!

-       2 friends from home are joining us on this side of the world for 3 weeks to study the culture and language while they build relationships and share the news! We are looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and living life with some like-hearted brothers and sisters who happen to be from Texas!

-       Dragon Boat Festival is coming up next week, which is a nation-wide celebration. Our 5 boys will be participating in a rowing contest and we will be cheering them on! We will definitely post pics!

-       Our annual June Texas Team is coming! 3 wonderful ladies will be joining the other 2 here on campus for 10 days. They will live in the dorms, take classes on culture and language, and engage the hearts of our students! Our students are awaiting their arrival and can’t wait to get to know more American friends!

-       Our shepherd and his family will be visiting us for a few days in our town. During their stay, Chris will take our shepherd with him to the Hani Sweet Spot while Becky spends some much appreciated girl time with the girls.

-       We will be heading back to Thailand in the middle of June for our final JE vaccination. It is a 2-series shot, and we received the first shot last summer. We are looking forward to receiving good medical care while we also have routine physical exams done that cannot be received where we live. During our stay, we will be able to spend time with friends who are co-laborers in Thailand. This will be a great time of iron sharpening iron as we encourage one another and worship together. 

Classroom Opportunities

Becky teaches a course called Western Culture, which really focuses on historical themes from ancient times that have influenced our culture today. The main areas of concentration begin with Greek Mythology, Roman Empire, and then several weeks spent on Judaism and Chrstinty. All of this information is presented in their textbooks as “theories” and “heavily believed ideas”, but we were able to present the last item on the list for what it is…. truth. From Creationism to the Cross, these students were given a clear picture of the gospl.

Chris was able to teach a segment on the Reformation and give a beautiful illustration as he told the story of Abraham’s obedience with Isaac just like Martin Luther once did long, long ago. We were both able to connect the history of SEAsian culture to the stories from the OT as well as some of the early teachings from the chrch in the 1500’s. We are so thankful for this huge opportunity to share with such a large group while it was permissible in a historical context.

Potty Chair Delivery

Becky visited the local government hospital store to purchase the 7 potty-chairs donated by a Sunday school class from our community back home. Because of the amount we spent, we were given a large bag of rice and a stainless steel rice cooker for free! Becky gave the rice and rice cooker to Auntie, the sweet Yi woman who opens her home to us for a meal each time we visit the orphanage/village. Tears were streaming down her smiling face. She was beyond grateful to receive such a gift. We had such a special conversation in her home during lunch. She asked Becky to be her ‘American daughter’ and of course Becky said YES! Both of them shared happy tears and “I love you’s” in their local language. It was such a moving and unforgettable moment. Chris made them some homemade chocolate chip muffins and the men from the village could not get enough of them! They were such a big hit!

The actual visit to the orphanage was the most successful one yet. We unloaded a friend’s van to give them all 7 potty-chairs. They were blown away and amazed that we pulled off their request! For the first time since we began visiting them, they asked us to stay for lunch and spend the afternoon with them. It was really an extension of the olive branch from them to show their growing trust in us, and we know without a doubt that the spirit is moving. We asked them what their next upcoming needs were. They said they would like to have new clothes for all 29 disabled elderly, newborn baby powdered formula, and diapers for the disabled pre-adolescent children. Wow! What a testament to the fact that He is GREATER than we could ever imagine when He gives us a challenge and then provides! A great and wise speaker back home would always end every pryer with the congregation saying “…. and all G’s people said ‘MORE THAN!” He certainly doesn’t leave us hanging out to dry. We are looking forward to our upcoming visit next month!

Outstanding Creation

“Father, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows; you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.” Psalm 23:2-3 (the msg)

We are blessed to live in the countryside and bask in His glorious creation. Not far from our town is an area that has been declared as a World Heritage Site. Becky traveled with some friends for an overnight trip to this location to visit some villages and see His wonderful creation. It was a great time of bonding between the two girls as they spent time hiking and talking together. These friends are from Isl@mic faith. She had several personal pr requests and asked Becky to lift those up for her. 

Here Is Our King

In 2004 a tragedy took place in the Indian ocean, and a few days later these words were written "The ocean is growing, the tide is coming in; here it is...".  These words are not describing the arrival of the wave that struck the Indonesian islands,  it's the wave that brings Love powered by the same voice that speaks the rose to unfold.  The one who speaks, is the one who bared the thorns that came from the rose.  This wave brings the arrival of a King and His impact and influence on this world.

The past few weeks Chris has been meeting at KFC in our city for business.  Each time he has been there he has heard two songs that are shocking to hear, not only in this country, but in a public place.  The two songs "G's Great Dance Floor" and "J My Redeemer" have been playing every hour for 24 hours a day for the past 4 weeks over the people that have been coming in to eat.  This is AWESOME!!!!

Chris has also been teaching guitar lessons to one of our Friday night boys. The Texas team gave this student a guitar as a gift and he was overjoyed. He has become very passionate about learning how to play and right now he is learning a few praise songs!  The joy in this boys heart when playing and singing these songs is not like any other joy we have seen him express in the past 14 months.  His first request was "Long Black Train" by Josh Turner and by the end of the first week Chris was teaching the student "Only A Man" by Jonny Lang

Lastly, Chris has started a weekly good book study with another one of our Friday night boys.  He was able to give him a full good book so he could study it while in his dorm.  Chris was able to take his name and tell him stories in the book referring to his name and the boy got excited and said "I would like to read with you and study more of this man and what this book has to say."  What's started as a study is now a weekly pr'yr - book study - closing pr'yr.

Hearing those songs played in a public place in our country and the studies that have started up are both long-awaited.  Partners, know that here in our city "The ocean is growing, the tide is coming; here it is; Here is our king, here is our Love; Here is our Father who's come, To bring us back to Him; He is the One, He is the Son."

March Madness

March was mad! We are talking mad craziness for the gospel, A BIG WAVE! We were blessed to host a team of 19 high school juniors/seniors/parents/youth leaders for 4 absolutely life-changing days!  Photos for this team are on the Post-It page.

If anyone ever says, “19 people is too many” or “what can be done in just 4 days?” be prepared for the Father to prove His power in the face of doubt. We were blown away to see such a unified, easy-going, and willing group of people in our city. Our work was expanded tenfold. The team was able to have many intentional conversations with students and new friendships were formed. We have spent the last few weeks since the team has been gone answering meaningful questions, furthering these relationships, and sharing truth.

Thanks to technology these conversations are still taking place thousands of miles apart.  The coolest thing is to receive a text message from a student saying, “Hi, I want to know more about becoming a family member and Caleb from the Texas team said I should ask you about it.”  This is just one example of the many we have been receiving.

Becky met with this student and her roommate to have this conversation in person. These two girls are so infatuated with their “American Dream”. Both girls expressed how much they desire to believe in “something” because they are frustrated with their country and how the main religion here is to “believe in yourself/nothing”. They see American people believing in something and they think this is the reason why Americans have such a good and wonderful life. (Of course the most exposure most SE Asians have to Western culture is from watching movies, etc.) Becky explained to her that not everyone in America is a family member.

They have seen the J-film about the life of J several times in Becky’s classes and they want to know if this is really a part of our history, and if he really did rise from the dead. They asked, “Why do SO many people believe in J?” “Did this really happen?” When they asked the last question, immediately Becky felt the freedom of the HS. It is not our primary role to make arguments, prove, or try to convince someone whether or not this really happened. There is freedom in this pressure because this is the role of the HS. Only he can work in their lives by speaking to these girls and revealing the proof of JC. He reminded Becky of her role in that she is to be transparent as she is being used by the HS to share truth and the message with these two girls. Becky shared that she is reading the Chronological One Year good book and that she is constantly learning something new about Father. The two girls asked if they could start reading with Becky on a weekly basis. We praise Him for His divine appointments!

Orphanage Update

Earlier in March, Becky visited the Yi village and the orphanage. This was probably the best visit yet. The manager seemed the most relaxed she has ever been about us coming, and she had a great smile on her face. We are thankful for the trust that continues to be built each time we visit. We asked her what her upcoming needs were and she told us they need diapers and 7 potty-chairs for the elderly. A Sunday school class partnered with us in raising the funds to purchase all 7 potty-chairs and we are planning on delivering them at the end of April/early May.

We also spent meaningful time with the Yi family. Our bond with this family has increased and we hope to continue this relationship.

It's A Boy!

Over the past year, we have developed a special relationship with the family that owns the local smoothie shop. Becky visits this shop everyday at lunch for her iced green tea and has grown close with the shopkeeper and her daughter & son. The shopkeeper’s daughter received her first baby shower at Christmas time with some gifts from the FIT class. She was so touched to receive such beautiful gifts; tears began to stream from her grateful face. 

She moved home in January to prepare for the birth of her baby and we have been keeping up via QQ, an online chatting service. Her baby boy was born last week! She sent us this beautiful picture of him wrapped in the blanket that was a gift from the FIT class. They haven’t decided on a name just yet and mama is very tired from sleepless nights. We told her we were prying for her and for the baby to be healthy. She was thankful to hear that and asked us to pry that he continues to grow. We rejoice that she accepts our pryers and has reached out specifically to pry for the baby. 

She will stay in her hometown with her husband as they raise this precious boy. The shopkeeper and her son will be in our town running the smoothie shop. Please join us in pryer as we continue to deepen our relationships with this family.

The Sound of Music

During the 10 days with the families in the northeast Valentine’s Day took place.  But to us, it was more like Valentine’s Week.  With everyone treating us with unconditional love.  There were times where our language was not the best, but we could figure it out.  However, one of our students uncle really had trouble speaking because of a surgery.

On the night of the 13th we headed out for a northeastern hotpot dinner with a student and a portion of his family.  By this time, Chris had really connected with the uncle who could not speak too often.  After the dinner the uncle asked us to come over to his house so he could share with us his musical talents.

As we celebrated our second Valentine’s Week in Asia we were reminded of the great love we have been shown, and how we have been called to live His Valentine.  We pry that this always be in our hearts.  The universe where we rehearse, our stage, the earth is where we are called to live this Valentine.  Although we could not hear our friend speak, we could hear his heart.  The Kingdom is indeed active though not fully visible to the world, because it begins with an inner transformation of the heart.  

hug.jpg

Throughout the many years of being in our country Chris cannot remember when someone had ever came up and just gave him a bear hug.  It was then that Matt. 13: 31 - 33 came to mind.  Despite the resistance we all face, the growth of the Kingdom is inevitable and it comes with momentous results.  The mustard seed was planted, what Chris calls the insignificant significant, and is now at work.  As yeast permeates a batch of dough, so the Kingdom spreads through a person's life.  Rather than being powered by outward armies or organizations, the Kingdom will grow by an internal dynamic, the HS, overcoming all opposition.

We may never see our friends family again, but we know we have done what the Father has asked and we fully believe He can do the rest.

The Week of Valentines

For most of Becky's believing life, she has struggled with the battle of discernment.  In reality, she is the one who makes discernment a “battle”.  She tries so hard to make the “right” decision, the choice that the Father wants her to choose.  Lately, He has shown her that there is not always necessarily a “right” decision.  For example, we were faced with making the decision between Chris beginning his first semester online at Golden Gate or traveling up north to visit two of our closest students’ homes to meet their families and share.  We're sure that both of these decisions would have worked out.  If we decided to stay back and have Chris begin his online studies, Father would have led him in that and blessed him for continuing his studies in m-work.  It wasn’t a “right” decision, or a “wrong” one for that matter.  It probably would have even been a “good” decision.  However, we know that we made the “best” decision by postponing his schooling for a semester to meet the boys’ families.  We knew it was “best” to take the opportunity to visit the north and live life with them with the hopes of sharing the message and expanding His kingdom.

The visit itself was unforgettable.  We traveled 14 hours by bus and plane to reach the northeast.  Temperatures ranged from below -15 degrees F to the 20’s and we were blessed to stay warm the entire time.  The first 5 days were spent out in the country in a village with our student and 22 members of his family.  

Spring Festival/Chinese New Year lasts about 15 days and it is custom to spend each day together as a family.  It was an honor to be invited to share this special time with him and his family.  We had meals together and ate interesting foods such as wild rabbit, goose, sheep, chicken head, and pigeon.  Everything was absolutely delicious!  Each meal was full of warmth and laughter, and we took turns raising our cups and toasting to one another.  We expressed our thankfulness to his family for raising such an outstanding young man.  We shared with them how much we love their son and how we enjoy having him in our home each week.  We told them how proud of him we are and that we are looking forward to growing closer.  Everyone had joyful tears and smiles.

Their entire family takes up half of their village.  One family owns a medicine shop while the other runs a small grocery store.  Family members spent the entire day in their home cooking the meal in preparation for dinner that night.  Our student sleeps in a small room with a heated wooden platform as a bed with his parents. 

We played together on frozen ponds, stood in cages of beautiful cranes at a bird sanctuary, and visited a Buddhist temple.  Most of the idol worship that takes place is done out of respect of cultural heritage.  They do it because their family does it.  Our student told us he does it because his father does and that is all.  We were thankful to take part in this experience with him and his father.  As we stood outside each temple and watched, they bowed three times to each idol while lighting incense.  Our specific pryer for this family and others in this country is that they let go of these false idols and false hopes and put their entire faith in the One who can save them and be the light in their lives. 

It is very important to the younger generation to have an English name.  This was a unique moment in our trip because Chris was able to share about the meaning of his name “Christopher = bearer of Chrst”, and our student’s name comes from the book of Job.  It was so cool to share the story of Job and tell him where his name comes from.  He was deeply touched after hearing the story, and expressed to us that he wants to work on becoming stronger not only physically, but also in his heart and mind.  He also expressed interest in wanting to read the good book with Chris more this semester.  PTL!  On the night of Valentines Day, the whole country was celebrating their “Lantern Festival”.  He asked us to pry together, so in the midst of a large crowd, we held hands and pryed.  It was a very meaningful experience.  We ended the night watching fireworks with his family.  Becky was full of tears as her heart was bursting for the hopes of salvation for this family. The ooo’s and ahhh’s and joyful smiles each family member had while watching the fireworks is insurmountable compared to the joy they could experience from the King.  We left this family with a clear call to pry for their salvation. 

lantern.jpg

Our visit with the second student was different, shorter, but just as meaningful.  He is an only child and has a close relationship with his aunt and uncle.  We had a blast meeting his friends from his childhood and practicing our Chinese with them.  His town was covered in snow and we all played together like children.  They took us to a ski hill the size of a football field where Chris was able to teach them how to ski!  We weren’t expecting to ski, mainly because it is not too popular in this country, but it was a nice surprise!  None of them had skied before, so it was quite interesting to watch them ski down the mountain for the first time.  Becky spent time with the girls talking about college life and getting to know each other.  They had the cutest English names, Sirius and Souvenir.  Chris taught the boys how to go off a ramp they built and then pulled out the GoPro causing the boys to act like pro’s. 

We spent two nights in their home learning and playing games that are special to the northeast.  While our heads were spinning with confusion, we all had fun laughing and playing together.  His uncle has taught himself English over the past year and works for the gvt.  He was one of the most humble people we have met.  It was so neat to sit on the floor together while drinking tea and sharing stories about our adventures. 

floor-tea.jpg

We were asked to pry for the family, and we were able to pry a blessing over his uncle as a gvt official.  He respected our beliefs and continued to engage us.  It was great to love on the student’s parents and just thank them for all they have done for this boy. 

We left the northeast feeling even closer to these two boys than before.  We now have a better insight in what to specifically ask Father for in their lives.  Our desire is for these boys to accept the truth of the message and then continues to share with their families back home.  We thank Father for using us up north and we ask Him to continue to use us wherever we go.

The beauty of it all is that He will never forsake us.  Even when we make the not so “best” decision, He is there to rescue us.  He is the ultimate Rescuer and will never leave our side or abandon us.  Our pryer is that we all take a moment and revel in this truth whenever we are tempted to stress over discernment. 

Happy Asia-Versary!!!

It feels like such a milestone to say we have made it one whole year!  We rejoice in ALL that Father has taught us, provided for us, and in how He continues to change our hearts to become more like Him.  He has poured out His grace upon us as we have learned to adjust to overseas living.  He has pulled us out of difficult times by His gentle hand of guidance.  This past year has ultimately shown us that we cannot live life apart from Him and that we need Him all day, every day.

January was a much different one compared to last year’s. We rang in the New Year with our students while having dinner and playing games all night. 

2014.jpg

After the first week of January, everyone went home and campus closed down.  We were much more prepared this time around!  We have learned how to cook over the past year as well as how to accommodate our hotel kitchen into one we can use practically.  We were blessed with some care packages of food items we could cook with since everything shut down on campus.

Chris spent some time at the Hani Sweet Spot helping pick tealeaves and carrying the packaged tea, down the old tea road, to the van.  Throughout the work Chris had the opportunity to sit down with the chief of the village and have some conversations.  He was open to the Word and gave Chris the invite to keep coming back.

We both spent some time in the Yi village and at the orphanage. A couple of groups from back home sent over some boxes of donated items for the orphanage. The workers were thrilled to receive such wonderful gifts!

Chris played with the kids for the first time.

We are excited to share with you that we have signed another one-year contract with the University

Year 2.png

We are looking forward to the many opportunities in store for year number 2.  Chris is diligently working on business plans while improving his language skills.  Becky is teaching a new set of classes this semester with old and new students.  We are gearing up to host a team of high school students and their parents in March. 

Merry Christmas

It felt like Christmas inside our home, but the minute we walked outside on campus, it was just like any other ordinary day. They really don't recognize Christmas here. The closest thing they recognize is the Chinese character for the word "peace" is the same as the Chinese word for "apple", so for good luck and safety they gift each other apples on Christmas Eve. Needless to say, we have about 20 apples from students that we are about to make a big pot of applesauce with!

Christmas was quite different, but really meaningful. It was hard to be away from family at home, but the people Father has placed in our lives over here have been special. We have grown into a deep friendship with a 91 year old man in the local nursing home. He is fluent in English from being an interpreter for the army in WWII. He became a family member when he was 86! We spent Christmas Eve with him by taking him to dinner and then going back to his home to read the Christmas story out of Luke and we sang Christmas carols in English and Chinese. Hearing multiple languages worship at one time gave us a taste of what's to come... Every tribe and tongue.  It's like reading Rev. 4 - 5.

We had our usual group of boys over for breakfast on Christmas morning and made green pancakes! We did a White Elephant gift exchange with them and spent the day together. It brought us great joy to watch them open a Christmas gift for the first time! They are not family members, but they have really wanted to learn about pryer. They have all been introduced to the message in Becky’s class, and one boy has a good book. We all held hands and each boy went around the circle voicing a request or a praise. Our hope for the New Year is that Father will really draw them in and capture their hearts.

Later that day, we went around to all of our local friends in the market we have built relationships with to wish them a Merry Christmas and give them some baked goodies. The FIT class from LABC has sent a large number of items for the local orphanage we will be giving in January, and we were able to give some of the baby items they sent to a dear local friend who is having a baby in March! She was full with tears of joy and appreciation! Thank you for joining us in serving those in need!

End Of A Year

If we could describe the month of December in only one word, we would exclaim JOY! In hard times, we press onward with the strength that only comes from the Father, which results in finding joy in each and every moment. If we do not see the joy in things, we are truly missing out.

As we were winding down the semester, we were able to use the Christmas season as a gateway to sharing the message with many students. Becky was able to show the movie about the birth of our Savior as well as the story about His life and purpose. 300 students were taught the true meaning of Christmas. The student reactions were overwhelming. We were shown evidence that the HS was moving in these classrooms as students began to weep and sob during the scene of crucifixion. Now we pry that He continues to move in the hearts of these students as He continues to reveal Himself. 

Chris was a guest speaker the following week in Becky’s class and taught about the Reformation and the meanings/life applications of faith, grace, and forgiveness. 

It is hard to believe that a full year of teaching has come and gone! We have enjoyed the opportunity to infiltrate the classrooms with the good news and we are hopeful for more opportunities in the spring!

Decemburrrrr

It has been a challenge as we have been adjusting to cold weather. Our country draws a line between the north and south. Whoever lives below the line does not receive heat. We live below that line. Outdoor temperatures have been between 27-50 degrees F and our home has been in the 50’s at best. We are fortunate to have a small heater in our bedroom and a space heater for our living room. Our hearts ache for the students in the dorms because they are unable to have any type of space heater to stay warm.  

We have been trying to have as many of them over as we can to help them feel warmer! Regular classroom attire consists of multiple layers, ski clothes, and gloves! Cold temperatures really affect morale. It is easier to be tempted to feel homesick when we are struggling to stay warm.

We have battled a lot of mold, leaks, and water problems this month. Brown water, cold water, and no water for that matter! We appreciate all of your pryers! They really do help as we press into the Father for His warmth and strength!

Specific Request

  • For the boys who are seeking their curiosity in what it means to pr. Please ask Father to speak to them and reveal Himself to them in such a way they cannot avoid.

  • Our relationship with these boys to continue to deepen. They have all invited us to their hometowns for Spring Festival in January/February. We have been given this opportunity to meet their families and spend time with them away from the University. We are really hoping this financially works out! We are seeking the Father in His provision and guidance for this trip. 

  • That Becky and her friend are able to continue visiting the orphanage once a month. For relationships to be built with the caregivers and staff and that trust will be established. 

  • For the Yi people family that Father reveals Himself to them, whether that be in dreams, by using a local family member, or time with us. That we are able to grow a relationship with them and love on them.
