Reports from abroad
At last night’s Bible study, we had reports from two of our travellers who had come back to Trento this week. One was the lady who God had prepared to work with the Chinese people at Trento – see this post for the original story. Last month she was in Hong Kong, but also went to China to visit her priest friend, where she also ended up talking to a group of 40 university students about the Gospel. As she said last night, if someone had said to her 4 years ago that she would be teaching the Bible at Trento and evangelising university people in mainland China, both in Mandarin (which she didn’t know), she would have laughed at the suggestion. But God has prepared her to do wonderful things for him. The other person was one of a group of 8 people from the church who went to a big European youth missionary conference (about 6000 people) in Germany over Easter. Since she has only been a Christian for a year, it was a big change for her after just being involved in the church at Trento, and in some Italian GBU meetings.
The other news, which I will remind you about again later, is that Daniele has been booked in for his operation again (our fourth attempt), and it should be on the 28th. So today he had his pre-operation blood tests, and next week will be check by the anesthetist.
