The 12 hungry young Christians that joined a weekend leadership retreat, the 50 new believers the team personally led to Christ, the as many as 50 other new believers led to Christ by Chinese trainees, and the 40 or so young Christians and old that regularly attended weekly follow-up and training meetings. There was much fruit indeed!

The right apartment (and the right price) to move the Fusion ministry to. The ministry is still fairly small, so we don't need all the space we've had, but we'll need extra space during the summer months to house summer teams.

The favor granted our Fusion ministry in the eyes of their landlord. He has graciously offered a second smaller and less expensive apartment to the team to rent. He even offered to move all our things over for us! It will cut our rent almost in half, and save us all the expenses of starting a totally new rental contract with a new landlord.
