Off to China!!


A week ago today, Noah flew out to China!! After a flight from Kansas City to Chicago, he met up with the other three members of the team- Rachel, Bethany and Kori, and they boarded a second plane for the 13 hour flight to Beijing. From there they took a train to Taiyuan.
The four of them are now settled into their new surroundings, adjusting to a different culture and a whole different time zone (they are 12 hours ahead of us)!!

Noah and the team will be in China for the next 6 weeks teaching English to students in the University where they are staying.
This is the team of 4 young people who are in China now. Please remember them in your prayers!!
You're never short of laughs around Noah!

Noah and Silas.

Noah and Elizabeth.

Noah, Esther, Seth and Elizabeth.
Noah does have some internet access, and hopefully we'll have some updates and pictures to share with you all throughout the summer. You can also visit Bethany's Blog, and the Wissmann Family Blog for updates.

(Click here to see their first update.)


WE LOVE YOU, NOAH!!!

See you in 6 weeks!

Oh, I bet you guys are going to miss him soooo much! I know somewhat what it's like to have your brother off to China - although when Dad and the boys went to China it was only for 1 week vs. 6.

I LOOOOVE your family picture!! It is so nice! Do I get a copy of it . . ??

I'll be praying for you guys as well as Noah and the girls, as you are at home missing him a ton and [possibly even] worrying about him sometimes!

Miss you all!

Thanks for the post... We started teaching yesterday and it has proved more challenging than I think we anticcipated. Some of the students know very little English. Your prayers are being felt every day as the Lord continues to show himself strong in our weakness'

Hey, Ulmers.

Thanks for the provocation to prayer. Keep us updated often, so that I won't be short on reminders. :)

I was going to say something about how great the family photo is, but then I saw that everybody else beat me to it. But it IS great!

Peace, and the Lord be with your whole family. --Jacob
