On Saturday morning I worked on a paper. In the afternoon Mike, Gen and I went out with Kevin. We went to a village community in the northern end of Beijing. It sells cheap silver jewelry. After that we went over to a cell-phone store where Mike and Gen bought some stuff. In the evening we had dinner with Kevin and Wei Wei. Kevin's mom and dad are very friendly and hospitable.
On Sunday morning I helped out a friend from fellowship with a teen boys bible study. It went pretty well. We had fifteen guys who for the most part were in grades nine and ten. Once we were done, I headed off with Billy to the English celebration service. Because we got our seats early we were assigned to be ushers for the offering. The sermon was based on the story of Esther and titled "Influence your world for God." The four points were 1) Using your ethnicity for God 2) Be mentored by others to the glory of God 3) Use your gender to the glory of God 4) Sacrifice it all for the glory of God. Sorry, but I don't really have time to comment on each point. However, I will say that I never realized the importance of Mordecai; especially his wisdom, encouragement and obedience.
In the afternoon I attended a seminar called S.H.A.P.E or spiritual gifts + heart + ability + personality + experience. It was mainly geared for those who are staying in BICF for a while but nevertheless, it was helpful. As BICF prepares for the Olympics the need for volunteers has increased greatly. BICF is already huge and is expected to at least double during the Olympics. What an opportunity!
