Today we broke into three groups with the N. Metro team and showed them a few of the university campuses. Our desire in these excursions over the next few days is to expose them to university life in HK, meet some of the students we’ve connected with over the past seven months, and allow them to see all the sights and… smells this city has to offer (yes, this means a lot of walking; thankfully the weather has been perfect). Every single team member has been a trooper; even as they battle through the misery that is jet lag.

And for those of you that are curious, the HK jet lag schedule is as follows:

> Wake up around 7 a.m. (ready to go) thinking you’re gonna be just fine and that you can handle this international traveling thing
> Have a great morning, lunch, and perhaps even an afternoon tea (still thinking the above-mentioned thought)
> Approach and run smack into the proverbial “traveler’s wall” anywhere from 3 p.m. - 4 p.m.
> Drag into a Starbucks and recharge on caffeine to drowsily push through to dinner
> Dinner hits and your metabolic activity spikes as you enjoy a satisfying meal = another solid 2 hours of energy
> Hit the pillow hard anywhere from 10 p.m. - 11 p.m.
> *Wake up and repeat schedule

* (results may vary slightly from traveler to traveler)

We are lifting up this city and its people as we walk. We are praying for revival and renewal; all for the Glory of God. Here are a few shots from route b.

Day 2 was finished off with a roof top BBQ with about 50 of our student friends. We’re convinced that these BBQs are the way to truly gather the students and just allow for life-giving conversations to happen… what a great way to end day 2.
