As it turns out, our efforts this summer seem to have been received well. In the few days since returning to the States, I have been in contact with Jumbo and Mr. Li in Doumen. The Doumen Education Academy has signed an agreement for us to bring teams to Doumen to train 80 teachers each of the next five years. We enjoy a special relationship and have had many meaningful conversations with teachers in Doumen. What an opportunity!
I am so thankful for each team member and the various support networks that allowed each one to be in China this summer.
An interesting note - Charles Chapman traveled with the team each of the past three years. He took a year off this year, but stayed involved by posting our blog entries and helping to edit the camp newspaper. He did some of this work while on vacation with his wife. As he and Kim were returning to Fort Wayne from their vacation, waiting at a gate in Detroit Metro Airport, our Delta group (Greg, Terry, Mary Ellen, Donna, Susie, Nancy, Johanna and Holly) walked up to the same gate for their flight to Fort Wayne. So, Charlie traveled with the team this summer after all. A fitting end to a trip characterized by Providence.
