Ahoy from Amoy (historic Xiamen, China)--and a quick Sunday miracle to share
Last Sunday, Siu Yuk, whose late husband Chris started the wonderful Children of Promise program for children with CP (Siu Yuk now heads it) left her suitcase in a taxi before Fellowship. It had her purse with passport, bank book & money and she had a plane to catch. Calling every cab company didn't help. The fellowship speaker shared the problem and Sue suggested we all pray together. We did--and the luggage was returned right after the service and Siu Yuk went to the airport in the same cab.
After we'd prayed, Siu Yuk went to the police right next door. Within minutes, they used traffic cameras to trace the cab. Efficient!
People complain about Xiamen's thousands of traffic cameras but, given the way people drive, I appreciate them--and even more so now. If they should watch everything I do, they'll hopefully learn I'm only up to good! 😇
It was a good lesson: Don't panic, pray! (which Sue's good at after 13 years in Taiwan and 29 years in Xiamen).
Enjoy Amoy!
