It is already mid-May and my time at Woodlands will soon be drawing to a close. A scenario I could imagine all the time would most likely to be asked one same question again and again, -‘Have you enjoyed your time working at Woodlands?’ -‘Errrr……’nervously scratching my head, desperate trying to come up with an easy answer. -Blessed? -Oh, yeah! Try holding an only weeks’ old new-born baby in your arm ten o’clock in the morning at Acorns, i’d be very surprised if you are not amazed by God’s wonderful creation and wondering the gift of life. -Routine? -Not as bad as it always sounds when battling on ‘Scrabble’ with some extremely sharp-minded eighty-year-old has become your unshakable routine on every Tuesday morning at Oaks. -Challenging? -Always, as you can imagine how miserably nervous I was to explain a new game to a gang of six-year olds at the ‘Explorers’. -what have you enjoyed most working at Woodlands? ...

Determined to make the most of my two weeks' easter holiday which i am afraid i will not have one like this after i get back to china, i have made a trip down to the capital city of Britian, London. yep. one of the most glamorous cities in the world, also the expensive one as well as i have only stayed for a week, my pocket has been burned a well big hole, however, my passion of exploring this city has just been fired up and i just love this city. there is just so much London has to offer and the comprehensive underground system makes it all simple to get around.. Day one , overwhelmed by the sheer size of British Museum while i was roaming from one gallery to another, day two i spent almost half day taking pictures of the Dinosaur at the National history Museum, a comic explaining the extinction of dinosaur is well amusing (see pic). Day three , it was an unusual sunny day for London so i made an effort to have an early start get on the London Eye, where a thirty mins ...

It is already half way through my Careforce year since coming to the Woodlands in September last year. In the past few months, I have been involved in quite a range of work, from mums and tots to youth works and some work with the elderly as well. So far it’s been exciting but challenging as I have been taken out of the comfort zone that I have always enjoyed as a student, instead I have been challenged to do things that I have never done before and didn’t know if I was capable of. Especially from this term , I have been given more opportunities at some youth clubs, along with more responsibilities as well; I have started to lead a small group at TRASH and do the Bible teaching at EXPLORERS. I have also helped to run two lunch clubs at Woodlands School with youth workers from other churches. It’s been great and the generous support I have received from people of the Woodlands has well equipped me to get on and do unfamiliar and challenging work with confidence. Of ...

Dear friends, For the next seven months in Derby , I am gonna live with the Kings family, Stephen, Rachel and their two little boys, Matthew and Daniel. Though moving around is such a nuisance, I have been looking forward to this day for ages. Because A I am living much much closer to the church I am working at now, B I am COMPLETELY fending for myself, which is exactly what I need. The days of starvation have finally come to an end, Praise the Lord !!!!!!!!!!!!!! C most of the friends that I can really relate to are living in the neighborhood, Peter and Angela, a retired couple who have been devoted to taking care of Careforce workers for years, but they only host boys coz themselves have four boys. My pastoral carer, George and Ros are living just down the corner. Richard and Christine used to live in China for seven years and I got to know them at the Chinese Christian Fellowship. Now we happen to live on the same side of the road. ...
