Visiting Irene and her husband, she was a sincere Buddhist for many years. As I taught her how to pray with the Lord’s Prayer, she said she had prayed this prayer for many

years to her idol gods. So, right prayer to the wrong gods, now right prayer to the right

God!

Ivy, another Buddhist, her baptism was confirmed at our visit.

Wang Yi, from China, was so happy in her baptism.

Dr. Liu said she could only heal people physically, but Jesus, both physically and

spiritually. She was so happy that her sins were washed away in baptism.

Irene’s former boss took her to our meetings, where she found

Jesus and was so happy to become a Christian.

I rarely give Bible study for over 3 hours in a row nowadays. Dr. Kitty Zhang is not just smart, but humble as well.
