Feeling Sichuan, Day2

Warning: Graphic Image

I feel the need to post this one picture, not for sensationalism but so that we may mourn with those who mourn. That our hearts may break. That we may try to pray. That we may turn to God in our powerlessness.
Sometimes I just need to know if my heart still works.

The Austrailian has a gallery of very graphic pictures showing the aftermath of the earthquake in China.

    Oh Dear God, throw these precious little ones a big party in Heaven tonight! Give them robes to wear and goodies to eat. Be the arms that hold them tight. And oh, God, be the strength of those who love them and are still standing in the middle of a crumbled, ruined city.

[american born chinese pastor] seeks to be that third place for those who are american born chinese [abc] in ministry.
[i] here we may explore issues unique to the chinese church and doing ministry in that context
[ii]expand the intersection of asian american culture and christian faith
[iii] or simply expose what goes on in the mind of this abcpastor

this may be a bit ambitious or even naiive but i do hope that through the posts we can bring together different faith communities, passions for the advancement of the Gospel and the equipping of the body of Christ.

if you are an abc pastor or have any suggestions or would like to contribute to make this space evolve, just comment.
