Not all of KSU’s Chinese
students are young undergraduates. We
still have many grad students, visiting scholars and professors on our campus. Many scholars are married and have
children. If the scholars have children,
the grandparents are also likely to live with the family for an extended time.
Every year, Alice Koo helps to lead a Bible study for Chinese grandparents who
are visiting Kent. Alice was surprised
when I chose the book of Daniel for an evangelistic Bible study. She knew several grandparents would only be
in Kent for a short time, and she wanted to make sure they understood the Gospel.
Reading the first couple
chapters of Daniel led to many interesting discussions about God’s providence
and the rise and fall of nations. These
people have witnessed great changes in their lifetimes, both in China and
around the world. I was able to engage them
about God’s purpose and direction for China, America and for each of us
personally. Alice was overjoyed when all
six of the other grandparents made decisions to follow Christ by the end of
October. Three members of this group
have recently returned to China. Please
pray that they will get connected with a local body of believers in their home
cities and continue to walk in their newly found purpose and meaning in Christ.
