Dear friends, I'm in an Internet Bar (no beer, only computers) in Fuzhou. Students in the neighboring computers are ALL playing games. I still don't have access to bloggers. But once in awhile I may still ask my best friend to post something there. I don't have any internet access from where I stay. Some of you have received or will receive a copy of "Come Away, My Belovd (我灵深处)" from me. This has been leading me along with the Word daily. I am reading the second half of this devotion now. Everyday's message is very powerful drawing me closer to Him. Thank you all for your intercessory! I have met some wonderful people while in Beijing, people with the true life in them, scholars, students, farmers, orphans, former military personnel. I have to say that their X-ian life is very, very different from what we read from our side of the world. In this big city, none of these people ever experienced or heard anyone that they know experienced any kind of psction. But in small towns and rural area, and even in Sh-hi is a different story, as I was told. Yet, I believe that needs to be proved by people who live there. In Beijing, I had some wonderful experiences, even miracles. I am learning A LOT of things first hand for my students. :))) Your prayers do work! And I can sense it.I'm in Fuzhou right now. Some of my relatives showed great interests in our faith. Dad always gave me opportunities in sharing with them. Please continue to lift me/us up. My cell phone number (in Fuzhou) is (011-86) 13905007648. There is a 12 hours difference between here and the US. I am hoping to go to Chengdu area on May 28 or 29 (please pray for my relatives to let me go, for they are greatly concerned of the already outburst of plague (but under-reported by the public news broadcast). Hope they will understand Ps 91.). I was assigned to stay in one of the five most affected counties, team up with two local brothers (for updates about the earthquake, please check out the attachment and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Sichuan_earthquake, http://www.ifgogo.com/77/earthquake-wenchuan-sichuan-china-may-12/). To better protect the cooperating local authority, we will not disclose the city name. The death toll up until yesterday was 55,740, another 24,960 are still missing, with little hope of surviving now that 12 days has elapsed. The government/millitary disarster relieve is very effective and very orgnaized this time. And Chinese people nation-wide are very giving this time. Up until yesterday, they have received over 3 billian USD of donation (both domestic and international). The orphanage that I visited are processing to receive earthquake orphans. Partners International (PI) is planning to have 10 posts in this region. They are hoping to establish partnership with the westerner churches (Chn and Eng), and encourage your church to adopt one of these posts, so that they can bring temporal and spiritual resources. There is a great need for counseling. I was asked to help getting the word out to you.
Isa. chapter 25-27.

Blessings, Flow with the Sprit,zc
