Many of the regular readers of this blog are already aware that Bob and Sarah are currently in Hong Kong. The Lord opened a wonderful opportunity for the two of them to experience missions first hand for the next nine months and at Kids 4 Truth, we are excited both for them as well as to see how The Lord is going to use this opportunity to further the ministry of Kids 4 Truth.
A month or so back, we spent a weekend recording new content for some updated training materials (more on that soon) and at the end of the day, I sat down with them around a kitchen table and asked them a few questions about their upcoming trip. We thought that posting this might help everyone have a better idea of what their thoughts were going into the trip and how you might pray for them while they are away.
A few things that we wanted to clarify based on what Bob and Sarah have learned (they have learned a ton in a very short time) since they’ve been in Hong Kong:
- Cantonese and Mandarin are two the main spoken languages
- The written word is either traditional or simplified. In Hong Kong we use Cantonese and traditional characters
- Although the school receives government funding and is a public school for all intents and purposes, it has a "Christian" name...the Chinese YMCA Secondary School http://www.cymcass.edu.hk/eng/index.htm
While they are away, they will be posting regular updates to this site to catalog their ministry there as well as some of their experiences. Additionally, they are posting small clips and photos on the Kids 4 Truth Facebook page as well as Bob’s Facebook profile.
