Our last full day in China was amazing. It started off at the Beijing International Christian Fellowship. This is a church for foreigners only. They meet in the theater of a very large hotel. I've been blessed to have been able to attend this church 3 times before and was super excited to share it with the team. As always, it was wonderful to worship with other believers from around the world. It's hard to explain the feeling of hearing worship songs being sung simultaneously in Chinese and English.
We then went on a Hutong tour, which is a rickshaw ride through the old part of Beijing that is preserved mainly for tourists. It was originally inhabited by the Mongolians, where one extended family would live around a courtyard, according to Feng Shui beliefs. Now the courtyard is gone, and four different families will live in each area. We got to stop at one of the homes, where the husband and wife served us HOT tea and cherry tomatoes. The girls and I did a fab job hiding the cherry tomatoes until the man came by to serve us more! :)
