Beijing exploration trip day 5 & 6

10/1/12 (Tuesday)

We went to meet a full time Chinese CCC missionary at Minzu University of China. She shared about the struggle to go full time, and stories in sharing the gospel and seeing Muslims getting saved.

After that, we attended a prayer meeting for uni students (Peking University). Dr Valient Cheung has started leadership courses in 11 universities, and next semester he is evening planning the orientation for Peking University. This was the fruit of years of prayer and God opened doors for them. We shared and prayed for 3 hours in the room where Peking University fellowship met. We prayed for revival in universities and market place. The presence of God was really strong. Valient also shared that prayer meetings are starting in big corporations such as Siemens, Pepsi, the Big 4 in China. Clearly, there is an important link between the university and market place.

Then we had dinner with Isaiah and Peking University people. I heard that someone read Genesis and got saved - another incident of people accepted Christ after reading the bible. Peking University people hoped to find a flat to be the house of prayer for Beijing students. We decided to make an offering to the prayer room they are finding. May God helped them to find one soon.

Overall, it was a great day of meeting God and seeing what He can do.



11/1/12 (Wednesday)
We had a 40 minutes prayer time with Elka for Peking University. Peking University's current campus used to be an university opened by missionaries. We prayed that God will restore the spiritual heritage and help people to find their true identity and real meaning in Christ.

In the evening Jonno and me went to Tiananmen Square to witness the flag lowering ceremony. Not only that, we prayed for China. I heard that many people received a vision of ten thousand people worshipping at Tiananmen Square, and the picture of chairman Mao replaced by a cross. Some people actually had enough faith to start buying sound equipment for public worship at Tiananmen Square. To be able to pray in Tiananmen Square was truly a special moment for me.

God told me that one day I will share the gospel to Chinese people in Tiananmen Square. Eventually God will call me to China one day. It's the second time that God told me this. I was both exciting and uncertain to receive this from God, but I knew that God would guide me to where he wanted me to be.
