Our 2006 Trip to China!   

In November of 2006 Richard and Kathy Porowski traveled to China once again to be involved with friends, church leaders and Caring for China people in Xian. It was a wonderful time - keeping up our friendships with people there as well as making new friends and contacts. We had been praying that God would open up new opportunities for us, and He did in wonderful ways.

One of the reasons for the trip to China was to continue our friendship with Caring for China. Richard and Kathy were able to visit some of the people there that we are linked with and to observe the Caring for China Health Care that is developing in a wonderful way. God is blessing their efforts to maintain the health of the staff and children in the orphanages under their care. Health Care is also seeking to reach out to the urban and rural areas around Xian, particularly to help the poorer people. The Health Care staff has a true heart to bring help to the people both in the physical sense and in the spiritual sense. They have had wonderful opportunities to minister the life and love and words of Jesus.

Another reason for traveling to China this time was to be involved in the wedding of Deane Morris of New Zealand and Jumei Zhu of Xian. It was a great time with them. Richard had the privilege of officiating at the wedding. Deane and Jumei will be making their home in New Zealand.

Friendships have also been established with new people. It is amazing the way that God brings new people into our lives!

Richard and Kathy spent a day at Tang Paradise Park, a very large well designed park recently constructed in Xian. A drama about the Tang Dynasty is performed in the theatre that is well-worth seeing. Some of the performers were also captured by the camera during some of their off moments!
