No Two are Exactly the Same

Individuality calls for unique approaches to every Hui person. The same presentation of the gospel may be extremely effective for one person while relatively off-putting for another. Although my friend was a staunch Muslim, she was extremely open to the worldview presented in the Bible, because my Christian friends and I engaged her unique perspective with the gospel. My friend is a good reminder that contextualization extends even to the individual.

“Prayer for the Hui” – A Devotional

Sometimes, when you hear a new song, there’s one single line that just gets stuck in your head. For me, “Prayer for the Hui” has one of those lines. Of course, there are clearly God-glorifying, gospel-centered words throughout the song, laying before God our prayer that He would work throughout the world bringing people into His Kingdom. But there was this one line that resonated with me in a profound way and had a huge impact on my thoughts and prayers, because it was so applicable to my own life and my own struggles with sharing the gospel with those I know personally.

How I Met My Jie Jie

One spring evening my husband and I went on a date. It was the kind of date where we hop on our bikes
and explore our big, beautiful, people filled city. The plan wasn’t specific, but it was expected that the
night would include an interesting experience and, of course, food. Our expectations for this night were
greatly exceeded, as we went home with, not just an interesting experience, but a life-long friendship
with a lady I now affectionately call “Jie Jie” (the Chinese word for older sister) and her family.
