They gathered in a hotel room on the last morning of their journey and reflected on God’s goodness toward them.
To an outsider, the genteel women might have seemed an unlikely group to have experienced all that God had prepared for them in China.
Some of them had traveled to difficult rural settings to share with Chinese women believers who had come to them with hearts needing to be touched. Others had cast aside their comfort and fear to enter rooms that were packed wall-to-wall with worshipers meeting in secret.
They had shared tears and hugs with their Chinese sisters and had been profoundly impacted by the testimony and faith of these new friends.
One of the ladies spoke of the “glimpse of heaven” that she had experienced when she heard the Chinese believers sing and pray. “My spirit was so in agreement even though I couldn’t understand the words.”
Another lady summed it up, “I will never be the same.” There was silence and a few tears. Heads nodded in agreement.
