In a Spartan hotel room of a Christian camp outside of the massive city of Guangzhou China, the pastor’s wife poured out her heart to me and wept. I sat and listened. Straining to understand. My 2 years of Chinese language study 15 years ago was hardly adequate to understand the details of her sharing. […]
