It’s Friday night and the two week camp has ended.\u00a0 Left is the farewell on Sunday with Da Di Church and return to the dorm\u00a0 we started our stay in upon arrival.\u00a0 What impacted me most this week was the song I taught to the kids, “Who’s the King of the Jungle?”\u00a0 They had so much fun learning that song.\u00a0 Kids anywhere love to learn new songs and sing with hand motions.\u00a0 Fun tunes that keep them singing it all the time.<\/p>\n

The next morning, after I taught them this song, I was getting ready in the classroom with some of the kids who arrived early ,and I started to hum this tune.\u00a0 Wouldn’t you know it they just started to sing.\u00a0 I laughed and joined in.<\/p>\n

‘Who’s the King of the jungle?,
\nwho’s the King of the sea?,
\nwho’s the King of the universe?,
\nand who’s the King of me !,
\nI tel you J-E-S-U-S….yes! …
\nHe’s the King of ME!!
\nHe’s the King of the universe,\u00a0 the jungle and the Sea,
\nbubble, bubble, bubble, \u00a0 hoo hoo.”<\/p>\n

Do you think they’ll remember that song?\u00a0 Oh yeah.\u00a0 Do you think they’ll remember the name of JESUS?\u00a0 Oh yeah.. I love it.\u00a0 What better name to remember than the one who holds all things together!<\/p>\n

Sunday night we are finished with a dinner gathering of the team at a really nice restaurant.\u00a0 We met with the Chairman of the Taiwan Covenant Church and had a wonderful time.\u00a0 Just a while ago we sat together in one room and debriefed with Tammy, the team leader, about impacts and where to go from here.\u00a0 It really helped to begin to soak in what has happened these last two and a half weeks so that I can share what things I see happening with this program in Taiwan and sort out some things the Lord was sharing in my life…. with me!<\/p>\n

I am not sure how to impart some of the emotion that comes with experiences like this and will do more in the coming month.\u00a0 The work here has only begun but I am sure that in the eyes of those here it\u00a0 began some time ago.\u00a0 But I feel the movement of the Spirit and see the people reaching out for hope.\u00a0 I get excited.\u00a0 I have friends here. I know who have moved into other areas of ministry and outreach in communities around Taiwan.\u00a0 I love it.<\/p>\n

Tuesday night…. Well Wednesday morning now here in Minneapolis.\u00a0 Back early afternoon and now I’m wide awake at 2 a.m.\u00a0 My hours are flip-flopped and I can’t sleep even though I haven’t slept much in the last 30 hours.\u00a0 Did I really go to Taiwan?\u00a0 I did get touched by the lives of those I came in contact with and know that God used me in a couple lives that were searching for some very things I have dealt with in my own life recently.\u00a0 I loved to be able to be used in those ways. Helps me sort out my own thoughts.<\/p>\n

What an adventure.\u00a0 What an Adventurous God we serve.\u00a0 What a friend we have in Jesus…
\n…. sang that hymn last Sunday in church at Da Di.\u00a0 They sang in Chinese and me in English the words so true, we both knew.\u00a0 Wow!<\/p>\n
