p a s s i o n + r e a s o n

I found out today that Caleb Project has accepted me to join their team to China. Yay!!!!

So now my search is over - but my preparation begins.

I'm amazed and thankful to God for the chain of events that has led to this. It has only been some two weeks that I have been searching seriously. As I was doing my search on the web, I noticed that Caleb Project's deadline for their Asia trip was June 14th. I made the inquiry, anyways. I was definitely the latecomer, but as Alan told me: when there are two committed parties - who match - it'll happen.

I'm still very amazed by all that has come to pass. The application forms were given to me on Friday, returned on Monday (with 3 references!) - and today I find out.

Well, all I can ask for now is for prayers (don't worry, I'll be asking for more later!). My research team will be going into China for almost three months. Obviously I cannot give out any more (sensitive) information here (on my soapbox), but there will be more information in my prayer letter. If you would like to receive (pre-order?) a prayer letter, email me, ok? (dan at tshin dot com)

So I'll catch my breath for a day or so (thank God I don't have classes tomorrow and Thursday! It is like it was predestined for me to do my prep work.) I'll head downtown with Jenne (who's back from China) to do some thrift shopping for books and stuff and just to catch up. There is also the WYD prep - I'll help lead a workshop for TIG volunteers for the University Café. Ooh ah.. it'll be an activity packed day tomorrow.
