The Langleys are in the U.S.

David, Ya Ning and Ya Ning's mother arrived in the U.S. September 20th for a lengthy stay at their home in Columbia, TN. In the picture, Ya Ning and David are on the left. Ya Ning and David will have a baby in December and plan to return to China early next year. Let's all pray that everything goes well for Ya Ning and the baby.

In David's absence in Beijing, his work is being handled by James Triplett. James goes by the name of "Trip" and is from Corinth, MS. Trip has been in China six years teaching English in the universities. He came on board with Chinese Agape in July, 2009. In addition to the work with the legal church of Christ in Beijing, he will later visit orphanages and teach the children and workers. He is a Freed-Hardeman graduate. Trip worked tirelessly with us at the medical mission in Chengde in August. We grew to love him and his girl friend, Sophia (on the right).

Jim Self, another Freed-Hardeman graduate was also hired this summer. He and his wife, Jane, have been teaching at Neil Taylor Christian Care Center and Wesley's House Christian Care Center since he began work with us in August.

The addition of good people to assist with the work is such a blessing. David knows these young men personally, having gone to university with them. They will be a very compatible team to get the work done.
