Scarlett, one fellow traveler in this tour, recalls in her dairy that the local economy is poor, lack of material. For the rural Christian Community, the pastoral staff is the soul of the community, they are play the rule of soul leader. In Xinchi, a community of Miao, there are so less pastors and elders. Steve is moved by this. He told the community residents that he would be back here to help them, in education, in health, and in faith. Some senior said, “we are so old, but you say you’ll be back here. Can we see you again?””It won’t be far away. Maybe one or two year later.”replied Steve.
