Shortly after her arrival in China, Lori sat on the sofa in her modest apartment and stared into space. Numb with sadness, she prayed, “What am I doing here, God?”
She had just talked on the telephone to her parents in the United States and had heard that her critically ill sister would probably not live out the week. A tapping on the window interrupted her thoughts. Lori opened her door to a young Chinese woman who introduced herself as a friend of a friend.
Then with little further ado, the visitor said, “I came because I need to ask you what to believe.” Lori felt joy and affirmation well up in her heart as she began to share the love of Jesus. She realized that God had given her a clear, timely and tangible reminder of His purposes for her in China.
