I N S A N E

Now that I can take a breath, there are two recurring voice chats I would like to set up:

— Bible study in Corny Chat. 
Start in the New Testament and focus on Jesus; frequently refer back to the Old Testament for context. Informal and lots of audience participation. Bring whatever translation you like and we’ll be comparing. 
Probably weekly. 
I am thinking Tuesday evenings New York time. Depending on time of day, there may be one meeting a week I can’t attend (because of a conflicting computer meeting 7-8 pm); if there is a conflict, I’d encourage everyone to meet anyway and pray during that time. 
A 24/7 prayer room where someone is always in is a stretch goal of mine, one I feel strongly about 😊

— Mandarin-English conversation space.  The point is to be able to stop anyone at any time to explain a word, grammatical structure, idiom, etc. for the sake of language improvement. 
Space TBD, possibly nests.  
How often and when:  also TBD. Mondays (New York time zone) at various times work great for me. 
It might be tricky to find a good time for everyone with the half-planetary time difference, but I know it can be done!
