CHINA. It had been a year since the Christian couple had last seen Jeff*, a Chinese teenager with whom they had shared Christ. When they ran into him on a street in their Chinese city, they sensed instantly that life had treated him harshly in the interim. He told them that lack of money had caused him to leave high school, and that for months he had been performing backbreaking manual labor in a factory nearby. The clothes that he was wearing were shabby, and his once confident demeanor had seemingly dissolved into embarrassment and shame. Knowing that this was not a chance encounter, they insisted that he return home with them for the evening. That night he accepted Christ as Savior. A few mornings later, the young man helped lead his cousin and his uncle to salvation in Christ. Then on the following day he led a classmate to Jesus. Despite the hardships of his life, Jeff's heart is now filled with joy, and his days with purpose as he continues to grow in Christ, and is busy bringing others into the kingdom.
