Send More! Feedback on IGo Ministry from China
To summarize, the long-term team members based here in China were very impressed with both of the (IGo) teams who came to us from Chiang Mai. Throughout the two week Summer School all of them were fully committed to the teaching programme and enthusiatic to spend time with their Chinese students outside of the classroom. To be honest, it would seem that the general character of those within the Mennonite movement is ideally suited to living and working in China!
What are the Results?
No longer do we try to look into the future and vision what will be the end product of a student after completing a four month semester at IGo – it is finished, we have the results!
Before we look at what the results have been, let's look at what our goals were before we started. What kind of students were we wanting to send back to their homes? Were we even wanting to send them back to their homes?
What Doest Thou Here, Elijah?
The title is taken from 1 Kings 19:9 and again in verse 13. The setting is Elijah, having what he thought were very good reasons, decided to get away, and live in a cave. But Elijah was not where God wanted him. God pursued Elijah, and asked him twice, “What are you doing here?” God had other work for him. Retiring in a cave was not God’s place for Elijah.
