The sister group Bible study of the Chinese Christian Fellowship last Saturday went very well. We studied the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:21-28) at a sister’s apartment – it is always awesome to learn the great faith in Christ from the figures in the Bible. This was the first sister group meeting this semester and we got 18 people, probably the most over the past one and half years.  We meet every alternative Saturday morning in different sister’s apartment, and it is usually an enjoyable time learning and eating together with sisters, and having women’s talk.

I appreciate all sisters’ wonderful input, including opening their apartments, bringing food and sharing their good cooking with us, helping with facilitating the discussion, or just coming and showing their eagerness to learn God’s words. Especially thanks our dear counselor – Auntie Ruth, who is always being so supportive to us, practically, emotionally, and spiritually.

This has been my 4^th semester coordinating the sister group. This semester I got another sister to coordinate the sister group together because I think I need to gradually hand it over to another sister who will stay longer in UT. It’s a huge blessing from God for me to do sister group ministry in the Chinese Christian Fellowship. About one and half years ago (Fall of 2006) when I promised to take care of the sister group, honestly that wasn’t because I really had a heart for the sister group at that time; I promised that just because I wanted to share the load with other co-workers. But now I have truly realized it’s a blessing for me. I enjoy the ministry; I myself have learned a lot from the Bible while preparing the Bible study materials, and I enjoy the fellowship with sisters. Most important of all, I feel like I really do something for God in the sister group ministry. Doing ministry is one of my life goals which I want to pursue continuously in my life, and I feel thankful that I can be used by God in such an enjoyable way currently.
