Jibei. 2011. 2012. 2013. 2014. 2015. 6th time. Over the span of 5 years, I've seen the once "little kids" of Jibei grow up and as time passes, they have become more like my little brothers and sisters. In the kids, I see examples of lives lived out as Paul instructed Timothy to live - "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." Mu Laoshi, the sole missionary, has served the families of Jibei for 12 years and this outpour of Christ's love and wisdom has clearly produced fruit. These kids are different, noticeably different, not because of where they're from, their circumstances, their education, their personality, but simply because of Jesus.

Jibei. Two days. There's a deep well of joy in these kids. A joy that stirs their hearts to love one another, to make beautiful music to worship, to serve without complaining, to persevere despite difficult circumstances, and to show respect to those in authority. I cannot explain any other of source for this other than in Christ and the hope He gives us who believe in His truth. His truth sets us free indeed.
