I am staying in Chengdu tonight with a few other team members from Wenzhou. I have met some great people and heard some amazing and shocking stories. According to our law, people who are 18 yr. or older has the freedom of religion. So, we shared freely at the restaurant even while a couple of waitresses were attending at our table.

Tomorrow afternoon, there will be 9 more Bs&Ss joining us. Tomorrow morning, another brother and I will receive some counseling training and get a certificate. :) We got the permission from local authority to work in that area as X-tian medical team, and we are allowed to share the hope we have in Him. Sichuan has the largest population in China, with more than 0.1 billion people in this province alone. But it was nearly closed to the Good Work and has the smallest percentage of believers. This earthquake and more than 1,800 times of aftershocks (we experienced one during our dinner tonight) really shook what people relied on. People finally realized how fragile they are and they had nothing to hold fast even though their incoming increased a lot in recent years. Job 36:15-16. Please continue to pray for open heart.

We will head north tomorrow. On Friday, we will enter a county where itself is strongly affected and received most of the survivors dispersed from a neighboring most-hit city where the plague burst more than a week ago. But the government is very effective and put it under control. They have systematic way to supply survivors who are affected by the quake. The electricity and shower and restroom in that region are still little, if there’s any. But each day, there are some improvements.

Please also pray for Burma, where the cyclone casualty is about twice as that of the earthquake, but lots of supply cannot yet reach to the hands of the needy people there.

He speaks everyday: Deut. 1:33, 36; Ps. 81:5b-10; Isa. 29:18-19; 3 Jn.

Thank you for being faithful in your intercessory.
