“Are you Weiwei?”
“Jingyi?”
“Oh, Weiwei! My old neighbor! What a surprise to bump into you! We haven’t seen each other in years and we meet again in a foreign country. This really is by the Lord’s arrangement!”
“Yes indeed! Thank the Lord!”
An Old Acquaintance From Home Brings Amazing News
My name is Weiwei, and at the end of 2016 I came alone to a strange country—America—to work. I am a Christian, and so the church naturally became the only place I could feel at home. But I was disappointed to find that the pastor’s sermons were only either about theological theory, or else he talked about indulging oneself in food, drink and merriment, and even set a specific amount for us to donate. I felt that my life was not being provided for, and I felt great disdain for these methods, and so over time I ended up going less and less to church. After I bumped into Jingyi, I learned that Sister Jiang Ling from our home village was also living in the same city as us, and that her home was a meeting place. I was very happy to hear this, so from then on, I attended meetings with Jingyi at Jiang Ling’s house.
