“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Hello dear Christian prayer and support team,
Thank you so much for praying and encouraging me about my fight for the freedom of the 10 beautiful faithful Chinese Christian orphans. I know they are remaining faithful and as hard as it is on me, I know they are struggling too. There are times I just don't see the sense in all this but I have to continue to believe God's word and especially His promises to orphans, Christian children and Christians in general. HE CARES, and we all need to keep focused on that. I do beg HIM for His mercy and knowing that "In You the orphan finds mercy." Hosea 14:3c
I will continue to fight, I will never give up on pleading the kids cases and I know they know I would never give up. After all they all know how much work I did to save them. They also know we have God on our sides and that HE will eventually let His people go, Amen?!!
Today was a very tough day as I continue to get so much disrespect, even with all the good works I have done in this country. They really do not know how to thank anyone anymore. The system does not breed gratefulness and especially toward foreigners who have helped them. I will be perfectly honest with all of you, I just shake my head at times at what God is allowing us to go through. It is just too simple to blame Satan or to blame the lousy system and it's continual oppression. God is sovereign and I know HE will intervene, He is taking all of us to the limit. I can only beg the Lord the kids never have to go through as much as Job did. I know I am willing to go through whatever God has for me if it means rescuing the kids. Life is valuable for all and I love each of the 10 kids too. With all that happened with false accusations about Phoebe and the hospital neglect and the evil people involved, it is so sick to know she is gone. She also suffered at the hands of some of those evil people. She was such a faithful lovely Christian. Even up until the last week, she wanted to study God's word with me on the phone. It was just the last 5 or 6 days that the hospital kept all of us away. God knows if they neglected her to the end and I know it would fit into their "trashing" of me in the press. It was only when the police were clear on my innocence that the media started to back off on lies.
All this stuff will continue in a place like this and only those who fight to the finish can see any good here. There are so many restrictions to doing anything good here for children, it is getting darker and darker. Where is all this headed? It is headed to a time called "The Great Tribulation" and they are so primed for such judgement. I continue to cry out to God knowing that He doesn't wish for any to perish, that HE would bring a "Nebuchadnezzar" type wake up call. This Babylonian king was humbled and believed under the judgement. It would be so much more merciful to have a plague, a disaster disease or something that affects their apparent success. We also have to keep preaching the word too, there are so few doing that but will do so when they see the need to cry out for mercy. The arrogance here is just sickening as they spend money like it is water and just seem to be so comfortable. God use my 10 to be a shining witness to those in leadership to show them that only those in Christ are free and joyous and know love. It is good to know they are all still together and kept from anyone else. I would prefer this as they need to encourage themselves and stand strong as holy bonded family. Yes, it would be nice to be able to witness to the other children but the leaders would not tolerate that. I am sure they were in contact with others for a while but my kids are such powerful witnesses that Chicoms only want total submission to their system.
I have to believe that God is planning a beautiful solution to this on going saga. KEEP PRAYING! Keep giving, and by all means don't lose hope.
As for what I have planned for the "Goose and Duck Ranch"; if I can take the kids to the States with grandma, I will let them settle and raise more money to come back and help more kids. As for the 10, they will be settled in the US somewhere and grandma will stay until her Visa clears as a US citizen, then I told her she can travel any time back to China and then back to the kids. The kids would stay put in the US. They have to stay together and after all this persecution, they just need to get the heaven out of here. Amen?! I want to do more for orphans and children here and I know God will let me do that. PLEASE pray that we can first get the 10 out and have final closure on Phoebe's life. I truly believe the 10 are somehow tied to why the body is still there. The government never let us do anything for the 10 to have a proper closure. I know this is God's will as there are so many examples in the bible to support this.
God bless all of you for praying and supporting. Ray and the 10, The Gold kids and many more.
Psalms 18:39 - For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
2 Corinthians 2:14
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
A sweet aroma even in this dark polluted in more ways than one place. Amen and Amen.
