She replied with tears streaming down her face, “Of course. He is the love of my life. I will serve him all of my days. I love Him so much.” By this time, both of us were crying…

The Power of Identifying

Monday, April 13th, 2009 by Eva

As the three of us hurried past the multitude of stores and people near the east gate of our campus, my stomach was rolling with hunger pains. I was eager to see where our friend Pei Pei was taking us. There was hardly a sign for the restaurant, only a single staircase squeezed in between [...]

The Wedding War

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009 by Eva

I was practically swept away as the massive mob rushed towards the brides doorway. Silly string cans and money in hand, they rushed at the door as the groom stood back and cheered. He was there to get his woman…..along with his entire entourage of friends and family. The war was on.
After about a [...]

A Modern Day Exorcism?

Friday, January 9th, 2009 by Eva

Monday -3 days before Christmas, 8am. I am startled by the sound of my cell phone. Is someone really calling me this early? I tried to ignore it for a few seconds hoping that the caller would give up. Our team had just had one of our Christmas parties the night before and not a [...]

Sunday Evenings

Thursday, November 20th, 2008 by Eva

Our tiny bright apartment was once again filled with laughter and love, as it always is on Sunday evenings. Despite the tight squeeze and lack of seating for 13 girls, everyone is anticipating the evening.

Points and Grunts

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 by Eva

In front of our green gate, a bit to the left, there is a sea of metal mailboxes. One of them is ours as you can imagine. You’d expect in America that one of the first things the landlord or real estate agent would give you is a key to your mailbox and a quick [...]

From Friends to Family

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 by Eva

My friends Gu and Jack came over on Saturday to study the Bible…..just that sentence in itself is massive. For this story, I truly don’t know where to begin. I don’t have a very good first sentence to draw you in or help make this real to you. All I can say is that I [...]

Me and My Cheese

Saturday, October 11th, 2008 by Eva

Oh wonderful glorious cheese!
You have made me so happy.
Oh so melty and delicious.
In between two pieces of toasted
bread you smile at me and delight in me
as much as I delight in you.
I think it may be difficult to believe that a young woman of my intelligence and caliber would say such a poem to [...]

1 in 16 Million

Thursday, September 25th, 2008 by Eva

“Eva! Everything is incredible since I met you. You said that it is God arranged our encounter. I believe so. I thank Jack for he met you guys and brought  me to you and I thank God. Our first conversation in English went so smooth and comfortable, not because I am good at English, but that [...]
