CHINA. There were about 40 people crammed into the small room when the 80-year-old Chinese lady arrived. She walked to the front row, sat down on a small stool that she had brought, pulled out a Bible, a notebook, and a pen and looked eagerly toward the instructor. The curious teacher asked the lady about her purpose in attending the church-planting course. Mrs. Ma* began to tell her story. She had survived wars, the Cultural Revolution, the internment of her husband in a labor camp and many other hardships. Now she was rejoicing to see God move mightily in her province. As she concluded the brief summary of her life, she looked straight into the eyes of the teacher and said, “Young man, if you have got a word from God, you teach me. Because now is the time for China, and I have waited for this my whole life. I am ready to do whatever it takes to see that my people know the good news.”
