Summer Chi Alpha

The 1st Chi Alpha summer edition rocks !
The boys & girls who joined Winston in a mission trip to Haiti shared their 2-week experience.
"Weird" foods, unpleasant road, hot weather, cute kids, & definitely a heart for serving others.

Anne closed their testimonies by sharing hers & her oncoming trip to Jordan within 2 months.
Yes, Jordan, the Moslem country (96% are Moslems).
She is gonna teach science to high school kids in the Christian missionary.

As she shared her passion, I was wondering if she knows what her life is going to be in the next 11 month she is there.
I have lived in a Moslem country for 18 years.
People can kill you just because you are a Christian.

An educated girl like Anne, graduated cum laude from nutrition & fittness major ... she can make tons of money if sha wants to.
But she choose mission over money.
She has a vision. A HUGE one.

I was ashamed of myself. During my 18 years in a Moslem country, what have I done besides complaining being a minority ?!

I hugged her after service, I told her I was so proud of her.
She was praying for me relocating to California, too.
California is not Jordan. Yet Anne opened my eyes that I could do something better than just being a dietitian.

Winston was excited that I am moving to LA & said he would need my help for the ministry.
40% of UCLA students are Asian Americans.
Surely I am not an Asian American (if he thinks I am), but I can share my faith, too.

The 1st summer Chi Alpha rocks.
It feels like we are sent to different mission fields.
Plus, Curtis is going to Califonia, too !
Anne ... what a brave girl !
The other Anne is another extraordinary friend, she is going to South Asia to preach the Gospel.
Not to mention others: Mark, Jordan, Keith, Joseph, Angela, Shawn, Brittany ... and the list is still going ;)
