This is the first of a series of entries which I made while travelling in China in the summer of 2018. They give you a partial glimpse of ministry in the Middle Kingdom.
It was a civil flight at an uncivil hour. But following the journey from Calgary to Beijing I arrived to meet an old friend.
As we ate hotpot noodles, we reminisced on what God had done in our lives.
Artificial Intelligence
He had come from a northern Chinese province to moving to Canada where he had been looking for a research position studying artificial intelligence and language recognition.
While in Toronto friends invited him to church. And he attended an ESL outreach study. Through that study he came to saving faith in Christ, the wisdom of God (1 Cor 1: 24,30).
Language Recognition
His story merges with mine as we met at seminary. There we learned language recognition, as we sought to understand the New Testament in first century Greek.
In our work on this trip we will seek to declare the gospel boldly, as we ought to speak (Eph 6:20), and to confess our own worldly wisdom as foolishness (1 Cor 1:26).
The Wisdom of God
The world which suppresses the truth in unrighteousness lives on mere artificial intelligence (Romans 1:18-23). But for my old friend and I, we will seek to know the wisdom of God, Jesus Christ.
