Eric's Beijing Diary

Elisha had a birthday today. Birthdays in China are pretty much the same as birthdays in America. The only difference I have seen is that if you go to a cake shop and buy a cake, they will make it according to your specification after you select it. So you have to go there in advance and order the one you want so you can pick it up later.

Chinese churches do not have singles groups. At least, I have never seen or heard of one. But Chinese churches do have lots of singles--mostly women. That does not mean that there are more women than men. But young men do not go to church. Not very many of them, anyway. Thank-fully, China does have some very faithful churchmen. But faith is definitely a struggle for men in China.
