From Despair to Hope
A story from DRIME Kenya
After watching this man intently, I noticed that he looked hopeless and miserable. His name was John. I approached him and asked him if he would give me a few minutes to talk with him. Immediately it looked like I had made a mistake just by asking him.

All of our staff have favourite dramas. When we asked Evelyn Yeung what her favourite drama was, this is what she said:
“One of my favourite dramas is In the Light. The story is so clear and I love the imagery of Jesus looking after the girls without them needing to worry about anything. I love how there's no condemnation for the girl that gets trapped, even though she clearly rejected Jesus and thought she didn't need Him in the beginning!”
Evelyn is on our Communications team and she is also the Regional Director in Asia, where she empowers and equips our DRIME Hong Kong leaders.
Fun facts about Evelyn: She speaks three languages (English, Mandarin, and Cantonese) and is currently working remotely from Macau! She has been on staff with DRIME since 2014, and she loves all things Pokemon.

Evangelism Tip:
Making An Impact
"Evangelism seems to be such a big word, but it is basically sharing what you believe with another person and telling the good news of salvation. People might choose to walk away or reject you, but I believe deep inside each person's heart is a curiosity of whether God exists.
Ultimately it is the work of the Holy Spirit that changes hearts, and I trust that God will use even the shortest conversation to create huge impact!"
Jennifer Chow, DRIME Staff Member
