A man rides a horse in the Chinese countryside. I was weeping and mourning and having a hard time accepting where Grandpa is eternally, because I had thought, surely, I would have another chance to share the gospel with him, and had I done that, my grandpa would have had a chance to be saved and reconciled with God through faith in Jesus the Savior.

A man with a backpack stands looking toward mountains, bathed in a pink sunset. As the old Chinese saying goes: "The final mile counts for half the journey. Without it, the previous ninety-nine are wasted" (行百里路者半九十). Fully engaging with the Bible, transforming life, resembles a long and arduous road.
