This year we are blessed with three new students from China.  They were quite curious to visit my home congregation, Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church.  This is the first church they have been in and were quite impressed with the whole experience and especially the stained glass windows.

We also met with Reine who is an adopted girl from China.  I think Reine (3) was quite taken aback by meeting these familiar looking strangers.  She soon warmed up to them coyly.

We then visited St. Peter’s Basilica to see the even more impressive stained glass windows there.  I noticed the effect on the students.  Their sense of awe was soon replaced by a sense of appreciation for the spiritual awakening within them.  We plan to visit other churches near London, perhaps yours.
