Well, for those of you who are not on Facebook and have not seen my periodic postings there, you may be wondering what new adventures I’ve been on since my last update. Well, my VERY latest is weathering another typhoon here in Hong Kong this week! These past months have often been like the circling weather bands of that typhoon…fast moving, and shifting between periods of both “quiet and calm” and “when it rains it pours”! Here's a look back...
Since I teased you a bit with the typhoon, I’d better start there! I’ve been in Hong Kong since the end of August and we have been getting ready to launch a new RHEMA Bible Training Center here. My primary focus has been getting things set up administratively with applications to process, numerous forms to translate and prepare, a database to set up, and many other odds and ends. It reminds me of my times in the RBTC USA Admissions Office years ago! We held our Registration Day on September 1st and an Open House on the 2nd. With the new applications we received that day, it put us over our classroom capacity for the 2014/2015 school year!
Our first day of class was set for the 15th, but unfortunately a typhoon in the area caused us to have to cancel classes. Everyone was safe, but the torrential rains and gale force winds caused public transportation to be shut down for a period of time. The worst of the typhoon passed by us in less than a day, however, and we were able to officially begin classes on the 16th!
