Greetings Dear Christian prayer partners,
"But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14
"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world. " John 16:21
"I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." Luke 15:7
I share these three beautiful bible verses because they tell of what has been going on lately. Although I will begin with telling once again that the 10 Christians children are still being held against their will, I know that they are in the word, prayer, fellowship and just like me are waiting on the Lord for deliverance. Keep praying and please pray fervently, this can't be easy on these faithful little witnesses. Somewhere Jesus goes from indignant to action to help them get out. As is pointed out in this email update, the "political correctness" propaganda campaign has been busy about presenting "the first place" work this country has been doing on "child discrimination". I guess if you compare 1996 and the dying rooms of the Shang Hai orphanage to "just" being locked down in maximum security for those 10 beautiful Christian children for 515 days, then I guess you could say "improvement". This game of always trying to "spin the facts" to come up with a "lottery win" for publishing "good news" about children is truly freaky. Can you imagine anyone believing the article I sent to you guys(below or see attachment), that they "Rank No.1" ???? I am guessing that the Korcoms are ranked No.2??!! Now that would make sense.
In any case, my heart is heavy for Blaza,David,Hannah, James, Rebekah,John John, Joanna, Sarah, Joseph and Deborah. These kids deserve better treatment than this. Choosing one sentence from the article I sent to you, "Discrimination is preventing some of the most vulnerable children from accessing life saving services." Uhh excuse me, God used me to save their lives, they long to be with me and others they consider family and you are preventing all 10 from having any contact with anyone who has loved them, cared for them, spent years with them and you do all this with high tech equipment, tons of money and abusive workers who keep anyone away from any contact with them. This would also include lawyers, media, and especially that "terrible lighting rod Ray". I actually agree with the lighting rod part, not the terrible part, you guys know, if anyone so much as even stands next to me, you WILL get struck by lighting. Think about how they took Gold Flower and Gold Bar, they used a huge SUV filled with at least 6 huge muscular thugs, a cranky old lady,they grab the kids, leave their "lawyer" at a coffee shop to "instruct me on legal changes" to a new contract. I don't know for sure but it looks like Miss Wu, ratted on us all too. Maggie and grandma Guo and myself also believe she was an accomplice. All this came through with CCTV contacting the lady Ji Hong who originally helped me. In short, the same system operators were used again. How does this fit into discrimination statistics? God has a plan for these lovely faithful kids, I know something is coming that will be really great for all of them, and it ain't going to come from the "rats" who have been contributors to the kids persecution.
On one more fun note on a "religion article" here, they are officially only going to encourage "indigenous Chinese religions" and will not tolerate influences from the "West". This is a fun one for me. Now please listen to a former principal of a school as I present "World History 101" in a very short explanation. The leaders here are sworn to Marxism thought and it is their guiding religion. Hmmm, Karl Marx? You are required to do your own research on Karl's birthplace, home which you can visit today, and please note he wasn't Chinese.
Now on to Jesus,His birth and the earliest known individuals to have traveled to worship the new born king.
" Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." For lessons on "World Geography" please note that "east" is not west, not north nor south. It is amazing how ignorant even world leaders can be about some of the simplest of known facts. Now on to good news about God saving a young teenager.
The battle has continued to see the 3 heart surgery boys recovering. I try to visit them once a week to check up on their progress. This has become a royal mess too. I have managed though to keep contact with one of the other boys who is suffering from Bowel and Fecal incontinence. God used me to witness to this young 16 year old boy and he prayed and received Jesus Christ as His Savior. In the good true tradition of his 1st century eastern wise men, he can now worship the true God by the power of His Spirit and follow Jesus as His child. No longer an orphan, this very polite boy has been set free! May we all rejoice with the heavenly host and give glory to God! Isn't it beautiful how God values the individual, that is so foreign here. Over 31 years I have heard hundreds and hundreds of times the phrase, "We have too many people." My answer lately has been, "No, you have too many lost and in need of Jesus Christ." Pray for Yun Jian Jun, he needs our encouragement, prayers and I have asked Samuel to contact him on a daily basis to keep this young man in the word and prayer.
Enclosed are also pictures of my visit to see "Mean Show". She was the most difficult of all the heart surgeries, if you remember, Dr.Novick made is clear to me that only 4 doctors in the US can do this surgery and it is very, very expensive. Praise God, Min Xiu is doing well, she is such a sweetie. It was neat how she remembered me right away and let me hold her. She is just starting to walk and is 15 months old. I gave her caretakers some bible tracts and pictures of me and the team and Min Xiu in the hospital just after surgery. I want to meet the "new parents" some day. Pray about this, in their "traditional pride" they don't want anyone to know that they are not her biological parents. This means at this point the parents don't want to meet with me but pray that the bible tracts will open their hearts to want to meet me to hear more about Christ. Continue to pray for Jiang Jia Yi, she is still unable to see or swallow well and yet her spirits are good. Bills are climbing and so is Phoebe's morgue bill continuing to go up. WE NEED a breakthrough. I have to believe several "holes in the dam" will begin to show up soon.
Last but not least, another child was born to Mr.Cheng and is a sister of Gold Flower and Gold Bar. I don't know but that also may have contributed to me having Gold Flower and Gold Bar taken. This also would answer for Mr.Cheng not "turning his phone on". I can't contact anyone since the Gold kids were abducted from the street. If you remember, I tried to convinced Mr.Cheng to have an operation so he doesn't continue to have children. I do rejoice as is the normal case of a baby allowed to come into this world from the womb, but you can be assured it would have never been allowed "officially". I can hear some of you saying, nothing new in this ongoing "saga". Please pray, I would love to care for the little newborn baby girl. What will happen to her in their custody? No discrimination right???
Enjoy the pictures. On a fun note, the motorcycle is how I get around. Traffic is horrendous but I go through it like a dolphin racing ahead of a sail boat which means I have a lot of fun going through the thousands of "computer game" decisions to keep safe and "win the game". The problem, of course, is I have to win every time and can't lose even once. God protects. Thank you Jesus.
Uncle Ray and the 10, praying for the Gold Kids, the 3 heart surgery boys and now a new 16 year old brother.
