Let's Dig To China!

When we were kids growing up in Bellmore, here on Long Island, we used to dig holes. My dad put up a row of currant bushes and said, "The area behind the bushes is for you guys. Dig all you want there." It was an area of about 10' by 40' of that 40' by 100' piece of property in the suburbs but it was ours! We went to town digging. We dreamed of digging all the way to China. We thought we'd pop out of a hole we had dug and find ourselves right in the middle of that land!

I remember when my feet actually did touch that land 2 1/2 years ago. Wow! It was thrilling. For all the years I had read about China, prayed for the church there, and loved its people, now I was there. When I came back I left part of my heart there.

I am connected to China and am so privileged to be.
Now grab and shovel and dig with me!
You are going to love it there!
