Listen, Learn & Laugh!

Between the ages of 18 and 24 I was studying in England on a scholarship from Kentucky Fried Chicken. At that time teenage naivete told me I was in exile from my beloved Malaysia, where I had been well on my way to fulfilling my dream of becoming a famous singer and enjoying the popularity that comes with holding the Freshie Queen title!

I know now that it was during those years that God was preparing me for a far better and more satisfying destiny than being Freshie Queen!

This week, I am sharing with you Meizi's personal reactions to her visit to China and the Xining Children's Home.

A History Maker Returns

As I write this I'm picturing a scene which is deeply embedded in my memory. It was the moment when Crystal and Jeff Kershaw met their daughter Meizi for the first time. When I saw that little family recently, twelve years later, it was like seeing the blessing of God on the work he had initiated way back in 1993 when my heart was broken by a dream about an abandoned baby being put to death.
