Hey!!!!! I went to the English bible study last night. The American Pastor had gone back for the summer break! Guess because Fuzhou is too hot and humid for them. How "fortunate" I was! So we didn't have a normal study. We sang some worship songs first, without any musical instruments.:( Then we shared the testimony. At the beginning, I didn't like the group, I guess I'm not used to the Christian who look different than the American and Chinese students. Especially, there was a 40 year old guy who was helping organize the group told us he graduated from Beijing University, who didn't speak clearly , nor look smart. I doubted a lot in my heart. He reminded me of the mental disordered. (Now I feel ashamed for my thought of him.)But after their testimony, I felt their hearts for God are the same. Everybody has so much experience to testify God is their life, all of them have a very loving heart for God!!!
In the end I shared my testimony too, and told them I felt a little weak in spirit because people physically around me don't believe. They came to me and told me more information of the development of Christianity in Fuzhou. One guy told me this is the only city in mainland that foreigners are allowed to preach! I was so impressed! They suggested me go to English Bible Study first since they were afraid that I'm not used to the atmosphere in the Chinese service. How nice!!!! I'm very very glad to meet those guys ! Please keep praying for me to grow strong!

Ruifen, it's so exciting that you found a Bible Study! Maybe after the pastor will come back you will be able to get a clearer idea about what the study is like. But it's so nice to talk to Christians, even if they are different from what you are used to. Don't worry, you have plenty of time to get used to your people again :) We pray for the Lord's guidance in your life.
Stay strong and stand firm. It will be exciting to hear what is happening in Fuzhou as you make new friends and meet with other believers.
My friend's friend just moved from USA to FUZHOU, Guluo District. York foreign language school. He/she wants to find a Christian Bible study fellow. Could you help?
(I just googled and find this website.)
Sorry, I mean Christian Bible Study Fellowship.
In God we trust! I really hope you or any Christian can response this comment. Thank you! I am in USA and my friend's friend is in FuZhou now. My Amerian friend in BSF ask me for help because I am Chinese. Thank you for any information.
