This is Origami paper box pasted origami Santa Clause on top of the box. Put 2 cute oranges in this box, and give the Sr. Citizen Home residents who can’t eat sweet.

There wasn’t Bible study at the meeting on that day, but Dr. Wang shared with us what he hard at the conference in the Chinatown.

Dr. Wang shared with us very, very interesting subject. The speaker, whose name is Christopher Yuan, Chinese American, grew up in very devoted Christian home. He was attending Sunday school until Jr. High. He is not built up big, rather he is very small and skinny. His friends made fun of his stature, and asked him how his love life with girls, or with boys. Those teasing made him to think to have relationship with woman. During those days, he saw the photos of relationship of men with men (Gay Pornography). From his high school age to college

and Dentistry school, he used drugs and started to sell the drugs at college. He started actively to have relationship with men. His parents expelled him from his family. Soon after that, he was caught and imprisoned over 10 years sentence for selling the drugs. He was told he had HIV disease.

Passing for 6 or 7 years, he had been depressed and scared for his life. One day as he lay on his bottom bunker bed, he saw some writing on the bottom of the top bunker bed. It read “God has plans for you, God’s plan is higher than human’s.” He knew the phrase, and he can quote it from Bible, Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” The verses made him so shocked, and after that he started to read the Bible. Especially he wants to know what the Bible says about homosexual behavior. He read the Bible several time from the first book, Genesis to the end, Revelation, and search regarding homosexual. Finally, he decided that the Bible defines that the homosexual behavior is sin. Now, what he had to do with his knowledge about homosexual and the Bible verses.

He sent his resume to Moody Bible Institute and asked to start to study Bible. Meanwhile he started to talk with his many inmates about the love of Jesus Christ and who Jesus is. Many showed interest and some were accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Moody Bible Institute accepted him as their student with full scholarship. He studied hard the Bible, and continued to talk to inmate, and also searched about how the homosexual behavior in their gene in the medical books and many other area. He decided with his researches and also his experience that Homosexual behavior does not come from their gene. Homosexual is preference and choice, he decided. For example, there are many fine arts and people have an idea of preference of the arts and choose one of them. In his case, his circumstance with all those Jr. High and High School bullies who mae fun of him was influenced.

He talked about how to tell them Homosexual is sin. It is much better to talk about the Love of Jesus and make friend with them. He goes to Asia, Europe and all over the United State to talk about this subject.

In the conference there were so many young people, and they asked so many questions: one is “Is he still thinking about the Homosexual behavior, and make an effort not to think?” He answered that Homosexual is same as other sin. We know we shouldn’t talk of rumor or lie, etc., but we talk of rumor or lies, and do other sinful things. He has never been in the action, but “yes” he is thinking sometime, but never dwelled on the thought. Other question is “Are you going to marry?” He answered that he gives his whole life to Jesus, so Jesus will take care of that. At this moment he is interested to be with the Lord and listening and doing whatever God wants him to do. Another question is “What does he thinks about gay marriage?” It is not so easy to answer that question. We have to think about financially, politically, emotionally, etc., but Bible says marriage is between man and woman (Genesis 1:24).

If you have any questions search Google and go to his websites. He has several websites and also you can meet him at You-Tube.
