Greetings Prayer Force One and a special greeting to the faithful mom's out there who know all too well how to love children!
"For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well." 2 Timothy 1:5
May God bless all you mom's out there with many more years of love and faithfulness to children. Keep my children in special prayer as they have never really benefited from a true godly mom's influence. I know this is thought of many times as you all have prayed for me and the kids over the year. I wished grandma Guo a "Happy Mother's Day" and thanked her for doing the best job she knows how to be like a mom and a grandmother to the kids. Although I could look at dark sides at times, I know she has been used in special ways too. Pray for her. She is in Hai Nan Island, way down in the southern most place of China, for a short vacation with some relatives of her. I studied on the phone for Sunday with her. We were in James chapter two but obviously started with 1:27 and the importance of caring for orphans and widows. I also greeted other mom's in my circle of Christian faithful.
Enclosed are a couple of pictures. One picture is of me and some orphan boys. You know Pan Hai Bo the 14 year old heart surgery boy and also Yun Jian Jun the 16 year old boy and a new orphan boy who came with them to see me. It is not easy for me to see them now but God gives us wisdom to meet.
The other picture is of Jiang Jia Yi clapping with uncle Ray. Pray for her eyesight to return and her ability to eat more solid type foods. She is improving but it is so slow. Pray also about the huge hospital bill. I wish I had the money to help more but recently meeting little 5 and a half year old orphan girl Yang Tian Na has also challenged me to help financially. I talked with Samuel and we are going to help out with her bill. Someone paid around 40,000 RMB and her bill is still another 10,000 RMB. She is a real sweetie and smiles so lovely. She was very, very thankful for the doll I gave her. It just blesses my heart to see little orphans grateful. I also told her about Jesus and that I was praying for her. I will go again in Tuesday to see her and check up on Jiang Jia Yi too.
Today I went with Jiang Jin Peng ( Jiang Jia Yi's dad) and talked with a tall young guy who was filling in for the leader. He was very respectful and talked of how he knows the kids love me and I love them. He also said he knows I did nothing wrong. I did have to remind him of how that information all came through a hard fight to stand up for the truth and yet the kids are in their facility because of lies. He understood and would relay this to the leader. I also mentioned if they continue to refuse to meet with me, I will pursue legal action. Pray for a breakthrough. I decided with the Holy Spirit in me, HE is telling me to go and do something knowing God is at work in me. Pray also the information I wanted this young guy to relay to the kids would actually get to them. I want the kids to know clearly I am there at the gate each week if not twice a week.
Love to you all, thanks for the prayers and support. Keep on giving. We have needs. Ray and the faithful 10, praying for the 4 Gold kids and the rest of the orphans.
