Hello again dear Christian friends,
I have also been thinking about another reason why the 10 orphan children have been locked up, beaten at times, persecuted, denied contact with anyone outside the prison, and especially with the Christians they love the most. I believe God is using this to bring all of those who did not actually know Christ to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I know some of them are truly saved but some may not be. I also know that little Joseph did not make a profession of faith with me as he was just 2 when he went into the "protection" center and I also know the "big guys" will be a good witness to little Deborah, teach her much about Jesus, study the word together, pray and sing praise to God. All this is being used in a place titled as a "salvation and protection" center. Think of the irony in that thought?!
Knowing we are closer than ever to the rapture and it is surely looking more and more like the "Days of Noah", we all need to be strong witnesses to others, especially children and the elderly. I witnessed to an 88 year old mother of a man I led to Christ in 1986. I know she does not have much time left although I told her I could also leave this world at any time. Pray for the mother of Mr.Liu (pronounced leo). She actually prayed with me but I have my doubts about what she actually understood. God knows. I make a special trip across town after making my weekly Wednesday trip to see Jiang Jia Yi at the hospital. She is still struggling and I am at a loss to know what to pray other than for her recovery. The expenses just keep piling up, Phoebe's body expenses keep adding up and it seems like the Lord just "let's it all slide" into a bigger problem.
I know for many of you, uncle Ray just seems to be losing all the time. It looks that way to me too. I just keep focusing on being faithful with what I know I am to be doing. I present the gospel every chance I get, I keep helping the children I know I can and I keep trusting in God to protect those who have been snatched away through lies and deceit. It just seems like we are losing all the time but then again I know these truly are the last days. I believe that God is preparing us for eternity and HE is giving us a greater and greater desire to leave this place. I know for me, there is nothing keeping me here apart from helping the 10 get free and ministering to other children who need love and a witness for Christ. I do get frustrated and even with the Lord. It is not right but I cry out to HIM and ask why so many children are getting hurt. I know there may be some of you out there who may see all this as a "sign" that God doesn't want me to work with children. My answer to that is the following.
All these kids were children who had incredible risks on their lives, most were saved through my hard effort and in the case of Gao Wen Ying, Jiang Jia Yi, and the little boy Li Guo Hua, the doctors had discontinued treatment and it would have meant certain death. I fought for each one and successfully saved their lives. Gold Bar would have died in the elements and Gold Flower could have died too if I did not take them in. As for the 10, most would also have died in the first few hours and no more than days of their lives. It is amazing to me how educated people from America and even China some how see regulations and so called laws and so called approvals more important that life itself. This is the world we now live in, it is a world of truly messed up morals and lies prevail. All one has to do is look at how Ted Cruz was treated by Donald Trump to know how lies seem to win today. Isn't it ironic how Donald Trump would say, "We as Americans lose all the time, we never win anymore." Here he is lying all the time and yep, you guessed it, he wins. I guess this is the new norm?? Isn't that what the Chicoms have been doing to us all along Donald?! God help us but I am fearful but thank God for the coming rapture. Then there is the crowd out there (Like over 50% of evangelicals now) who don't believe in the pre-tribulational, pre-millenial rapture. It is clear to me and thank God to most of you. Praise God HE doesn't want us to go through the wrath that this ungodly generation is so deserving of. God help us to work harder to get the gospel out, knowing the time is at hand.
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:17,18
Ray and the 10, praying for Mr.Cheng and the Gold Kids, Pray for the 3 heart surgery boys and 16 year old Yun Jian Jun to grow in Christ. Pray for Jiang Jia Yi and her parents and their expenses as well closure for Phoebe. I know it is not easy for you guys to read my stuff sometimes but I need prayer. Enclosed is a picture of Jiang Jia Yi wanting to touch my face. Pray for a speedier recovery.
