Mayflower Chinese Church | Dr. Levendusky There is reason for special rejoicing and a warm welcome to the Mayflower Chinese church that will be in coming in this weekend to move on campus into Chestnut. Although a week ago last Friday we were receiving reports of possible deportation back to China, and actual placement into Thailand’s detention centers where they were separated as families, a wonderful work of God has occurred. This article from Politico describes this past week for the Mayflower church.
A US State department worker helping the group, who is a believer, reported that there was new support for the Mayflower church to gain permission to go to America, and this new direction was most definitely the work of the Lord.
The Chinese group is traveling right now on different flights and we expect the whole group to arrive over the next few days. One woman who is expecting a baby with her husband and other children will remain behind in Thailand until the child is born.
Please take time to thank the Lord for His intervention, and the help of our Operations and Facilities staff to get things ready. We can also express our appreciation for the Freedom Seekers staff and leader, Deana Brown, along with sympathetic US State Department assistance. We look forward to welcoming the Mayflower church and Freedom Seekers to our campus this weekend.
We plan to have an orientation and official welcome gathering next week with our staff families for our Chinese guests when things have settled down.
