Melissa Kline, UB staff in Macau
On December 20, Living Stone Church celebrated Christmas by throwing a “birthday party.” For David and me, it was an incredibly special Sunday.

  • An English Language Program student from 8 years ago came with her family, and her son sang in the kids choir.
  • A PV student from 4 years ago came and brought his brother and cousin.
  • Three ladies from the women’s Bible study that has been meeting for 9+ years came along with a couple of their children.

Seeing all of these people in one room at LSC was the most amazing feeling. God does have us here for a reason!
