getting deeper

Well... it's been far too long since an update here, and there is much to tell!  Thank you for your prayers with us for our Uyghur friends and for our humility and wisdom to serve them well.  We are so grateful for your partnership with us for God's glory!

My tutor is set to arrive any minute now and today is her birthday.  This will be the first tie she's ever had a birthday party (this morning she's coming for class... but she and her boyfriend (my hubby's tutor) and another friend who she's living with during this semester break (who is a like-minded girl who is a worker like us!) will come back to our place tonight for a birthday dinner, cake and ice cream and games.  I hope it's a special joy for her!

And there is lots happening in her life and heart.  The friend she's living with for a few more weeks (till the dorms open again next semester) has been able to share lots with her about the Lord.  K (my tutor) has been reading in the Word and on an evangelistic web site for Uyhgurs (www.injil.net -  Injil means New Testament - if you have a minute, you can check this site and you'll automatically hear this language that we are studying, that we love.)

Please pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to work deep in her heart... perhaps most especially to do the work of tearing down her faith in the Koran.  Right now that is still her standard of truth.  K and her boyfriend and his brother have heard so much of the Gospel from us and two other misny friends in their lives now.....  please continue to ask that they would all be drawn to him together, even in this time in our home today!

She's here....
