CHRISTIAN TV IN CHINA??

This is Susie and I have another funny memory of China. Laban, myself, Ben and Deysi were all staying in a hotel in the middle of China. Ben and Deysi had a room down the hall. I turned on the TV, from force of habit, for there are never any English speaking stations. As I channel surfed, I came across a guy standing at what looked like a pulpit, speaking from a book that looked to be a Bible. He was gesturing with his hands and ever so often a verse (in Chinese) would flash on the screen. They would even show the audience periodically. I was so excited I called Laban and showed him and he agreed it was a preacher. So we went and got Ben, and he came down to see it. He watched a little bit and laughed and said the guy was teaching on Karl Marx. So I guess there is no Christian TV in China.

Interestingly enough there are Christian programs in Macau and Hong Kong. It is Sunday here and we watched Robert Schuller this morning. Other than losing my purse we had a very good day. I am looking forward to coming home, but am dreading saying good-bye to Ben, Deysi and especially my baby, Gabriel. We have become quite attached.
