Chinese name? and other random stuff

So one of my friends here is Taiwanese and he's really excited for our team to head into China. Lately he's been trying to make a Chinese name for each member of our team to make it easier for the Chinese to remember and pronounce. He said to give me my Korean name and tell me the meaning so that he can get the Mandarin version of the word to make up the name. In the end, my name is Song, Eun Song haha. Only thing that changed was the last letter chul -> song, which means wisdom. Kinda weird, but oh wells haha.

Man, I should totally make a Japanese name too haha. Make me one Shin xD haha jk jk. Probably end up being like "Man-who-eats-a-lot san" or something after translation. Well if all else fails, I'll just call myself Shin-chan haha jk jk.

Anywho, lately I've looked up some stuff about the Chinese underground church, and it's pretty crazy. They actually all meet up in abandoned buildings to praise God and worship Him (cuz its illegal in China). Here's a clip of a more recent video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do7jIUg6l0k . You're going to have to excuse the lame beginning, but you get to see what it's more like late in the vid.

I also was looking Japanese Christian praise, and the church in this clip actually has a lot more people than I thought. I heard Japan is one of the hardest places to tell people about Christianity and only like 0.01% are Christian o.o; Here's a clip of a Japanese church in Tokyo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCbe3EehrnI . I totally want to go to this church and praise in Japanese xD. Sounds so cool ^^. I remember a bunch of Japanese held a Christian Korean/Japanese concert in Japanese and English. It was to help with the tension between the two races and to bring them together through the church, and one of my friend's is a Korean/Japanese mix and ended up singing on the praise team xD. I missed it though cuz I didn't have a ride, and now totally regret it ><; But hopefully I can visit this church xD.

Well this is totally off topic but felt like sharing. So yesterday's service topic was all about the Father's heart and at the end while we were praying, the guest speaker said he just felt like God wanted him to say something that could be weird for us. He said something like "If growing up, you've never been hugged by your biological father or mother, I want you to take a step of faith and come to the front. All the older members or grandparents, I want you to come to the front as well and hug one of the students here, but when you hug, I don't want you to let go. Just hold them for a while." About 15-20 people came to the front and right when they got hugged, a lot of them broke down crying. It was really sad, but beautiful at the same time. Sad that even Christian fathers would feel ashamed to hug their own children, something that's actually hard for me to comprehend cuz my dad's always been pretty loving. Christianity is all about love, so its really sad to think of something like that, but it was really beautiful to see them being hugged and letting go of those past heartaches against their parents. Even the guys were balling their eyes out on an older person's shoulder, really touching moment.

Well anyways, this was a really random post, but oh well. God bless everyone ^^
