There is no "Coincidence" in God's dictionary
Emerald Chen, who accompanied me all the way to Brazil.She is 22 years old and She has been attending Tamkang Church since junior high school. In addition to participating in youth ministry, she also plays an important role in children's ministry.
She is currently studying at the School of Healthcare Administration at Taipei Medical University in Taiwan. She doesn't like this subject, but she still works hard and learns a lot. She will graduate this year. After graduation, she is not interested in healthcare Administration, but she has declared that she wants to manage the church!
The Chen's family let their daughter go solo for the first time. She was sad about not being able to spend the Lunar New Year with her family. Although she did not clearly hear God's call for her to come to Brazil, she trusts me and God and that's why she came with me.
From the first day till now, she has been trying to keep up with the tight schedule, visiting one stop after another ; talking to one person after another ; and eating one meal after another. Her stress and emotions are getting higher and higher⋯⋯
Yet, how could her Heavenly Father allow His beloved daughter to suffer from confusion! ?
After visiting eight Chinese Shops owners, we went to the ninth family. She was a Brazilian whom I met during outreach in Germany: Theisa Colle. Theisa and I were looking forward to meeting again. After much hesitation, Emerald decided to go with me.
When we entered Theisa's home, besides her and her mother, there were three ladies gathered around the dining table to welcome us. They were: Christine Faber; Cornelia Voss; Theis. They were the founders and co-workers of "Power Ladies". We had a happy conversation at the dining table, and Emerald was quietly observing and participating beside us, just as she had always been supporting and accompanying me.
When we were about to leave, Christine, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly asked her, "Do you like children? Are you involved in children's work?" I laughed secretly beside her, clapped my hands in my heart and said to God: Holy Spirit, come! Let your daughter be touched by the situation! This time it was my turn to observe and support from the side.
"You are a smart person. Many children are naturally attracted to you. You will also naturally let children approach you. God wants to use you to win back many children. The more you know about God's plan for your life, the more you will walk into the original design your creator has for you." Christine looked at her and said these words to her.
Emerald was moved by the words of this stranger in front of her and began weeping…
"From the first day I arrived in Brazil until today, I still have no idea why I came to Brazil. I didn't want to come tonight. I really want to go home..." Emerald shared after wiping away tears. After calming down, she continued, "I didn't expect that God would use Christine to make me more certain of God's plan for my life."
Back at the accommodation, we thanked God for the whole day's experience. The happiest thing for her was that she could express her true feelings without fear, in addition to experiencing God revealing His heart to her through a stranger. Thoughts and feelings, I offer my gratitude for God's work in Emerald.
