Hello again dear friends,
I wish I had better news to share about the 10 still in custody but it is still a ferocious battle. Maggie went to meet with yet another leader and he was not very cooperative. He also acknowledged he knew Melody Zhang and that she has done things with the kids but Maggie was not able to determine if she has been involved recently. This is not good, as she had not been supportive of anything I have ever done. As I have said before, I think she is jealous and was determined to have the kids go where she wanted them to go. They did not submit and they will never submit to anyone that has been so damaging to me and also to the kids. The kids know she was the one who "dumped" the lies about me and worked to get the kids into her control. We will all see how God has this pan out, especially seeing there are those who are willing to help me get custody of the kids. We are a long way from that day unless the LORD shows us a true miracle in moving things faster.
I also learned from Maggie that this other leader was upset that "Uncle Ray" keeps showing up at the gate and influencing the kids. I am actually very pleased with this news. This is what we were praying for, the "news leaks in" through people who either see me or talk with grandma or me. This bring great joy to my heart as I know it would encourage the kids to keep the faith and don't give up. This leader did admit they can't be at the "protection" facility for the "long haul" and they will eventually be moved to an orphanage. He was quick to say that as soon as they go to the State run orphanage and paper work is processed, they will be property of the State. Isn't it nice when systems deem everything property of the State, even human lives. What a battle for good this is becoming. It is an encouragement at least that God has sent important people and people in charge to work in our favor. Amen?! Pray the wise and sensible people in charge will prevail, this will no doubt make it easier for me to make progress toward our goal. The kids want out, I want out for them too. I even believe there are some in charge who see this as the best way to solve the "problems".
I had not done a search of my name recently in the www.baidu.com search engine and to my "surprise" I see the media "cleaned" up most of the vicious articles and pictures presenting me like an evil person. The CCTV 13 TV first interview done by phone with me is in it's full version again, and I even noticed there are parts that were not in there before. It is very helpful to see things and learn things about the kids in the "protection" center. One can see the building they are living in and some of their activity places. When grandma and me eat lunch near the place, it turns out they are actually only a hundred feet away on the other side of a wall. I originally thought they were in the main building, now I know it is building #3. It is their own private building and it is actually pretty nice to be "left alone" as they stay together. I know God has used this for them to pray, study the word of God and fellowship as HE sees fit. They have had their own private teacher and cook and are kept separate from the other 80 or so kids in the facility. This may also be because the kids would witness about Christ to the other kids.
Time is once again getting short for me to return to the US. Let us pray for that breakthrough we are all hoping for. At least we know there are some leaders who are working in my favor but we must pray for them to succeed in convincing the others to just get their work done. Maggie is going to contact a friend of Melody to talk and get her to stop hindering and if she is saved to do things to help us. Pray to this end. They are probably reading this email update too and that is fine with me. If she is truly saved, she can't keep fighting against so many godly Christians especially when they are innocent Christian children.
"We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." 1 John 4:6
This "spirit of error" is all around us in this generation and it rears it's ugly head all the time. It is amazing how many lies are used and the "political correct" jargon spewed out on a second by second basis. You guys know exactly what I am talking about, it is everywhere and especially in politics. Thank God we know HE is sovereign and HE will work to our favor and most certainly work for the blessings of the dear children.
Keep praying, keep supporting and keep rejoicing even in the trials, it isn't easy. I will be the first to admit it is extremely difficult but it pleases HIM to "fellowship in His sufferings". God give all of us grace and give a generous amount to Blaza, Hannah, David, James, Rebekah, John John, Joanna, Sarah, Joseph and little Deborah
Ray and the 10 and working to help many more. PS Here is the link to the CCTV interview in December, 2014

Look at all the pictures they show! This reporter no longer works for CCTV, he "retired" early.
