A Living Legacy

Every Saturday afternoon, we teach children at our little national clubhouse. Today was a "holy" moment. Today's story was about HIM making us "fishers of men". I had chosen to teach the children the song: "I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men. I will make you fishers of men, if you follow me." I learned this song as a little girl at Mt. Zion BC in Mississippi, and I have taught it to children in MS, KY, MI, FL, TN, WV, and MT.

Little did I know that today, Grandma Wang (age 80) was also going to teach the children the same song in our national language. She had learned it as a little girl, growing up in Gansu Province in the BIG country. Grandma Wang came with her husband to our little island in 1949 when she was 19 years old. She had become a believer in the BIG country. When she arrived on our little island (60 years ago), she began teaching children. She has been teaching this song to children on our little island ever since.

So, she taught the children "Fishers of Men" in Chinese, and I taught it to them in English. It was a "holy" moment. Grandma Wang is a living legacy, politically and spiritually. I am honored to serve beside her.
