Blairstan Upgrade

Aloha from the NEW Blairstan in Beijing!

Many thanks for your prayers and encouragement amidst our apartment upheaval. God has mercifully given us an Upgrade! First, our landlord acted with great consideration. He actually lives in another part of China where he runs a business that urgently needed some capital. So he was forced to sell the apartment. Yet as he was admittedly breaking our contract he gave us 2 weeks rent free and 2 months cash penalty AND our one month rent cleaning deposit. So, we were able to pay advance rent and fees of our new place which is in another building of the same complex. Our new rent is about $250 less per month. It is a bit smaller, but it has a roof top patio which we will especially enjoy this summer. We have a great view from the 29th floor, especially when the skies are clear here in Beijing, like today….



Of course, like any move, there was lots of cleaning, painting, organizing, packing, and unpacking – which we are still doing – but we wanted to give praise to God and thanks to you for all that has happened. Now we can focus more fully on all the ministry opportunities of this upcoming Easter and beyond.

We are very grateful for your prayers and support as we serve the Lord here in this capital city of the world’s most populated nation. We are still amazed at all the wonderful doors of opportunity He continues to open!

Yours in our Risen Savior,
Mark and Dayna Blair
