OI China PRAYER LETTER June 2012
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." ~ Psalm 133 (KJV)
An Insight Trip was held in May for the Young Ambassadors for Opportunity (YAO), Hong Kong. The group spent the weekend in Suyu and visited 6 clients and met with staff of OI China. The group of 11 brought love and energy to the community. It was a memorable weekend for all of the staff and clients as well as to our Young Ambassadors.
Following a busy day of visiting clients OI China arranged a special dinner by getting everyone learning how to make the traditional Chinese dumplings, Jiaozi. All visitors were concentrating to ensure that they make the most beautiful and delicious dumplings for their own dinner. The most important ingredient added by YAO, according to the Chef, was the love from Christ.
