Greetings dear Prayer Force One,
What a joy to see the growth of "Da Boys", the 5 orphan boys who have all accepted Christ and have very quickly become lovely Christian prayer and fellowship partners. It is just simply beautiful to see the gospel work and to have Jesus Christ be glorified.
Samuel and I are working on new cell phones for everybody to make sure that when I am in the US, I stay in close contact with all the kids. I also will give a small hand held laptop to Jiang Jia Yi's parents to continue to study daily with them too. It is so neat to see technology used to God's glory. Amen?!
My greatest desire is to see the 10 before I leave and also get them a new cell phone or laptop to be able to maintain contact with me as well. Please pray for this to happen. I have 9 days before I leave and yet I am trusting in the LORD to open up something to get me and others in personal contact with the 10 kids.
I was reading once again in Psalm 10 and see how clearly I can trust in the LORD to care for these 10 lovely Christian orphan children. I want to share a few thoughts as I believe God's word by faith.

"Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?" Psalm 10:1
I cry out to the Lord to answer our prayers for the restoration of the 10 children with their family. It seems like the Lord is "aloof" but I know He does things in His time.
"In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.
4 The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
This is exactly what I see with the enemies of me and the kids. It has been a ferocious battle and stems from their atheistic view and they mock God and murder children worse than any generation in the history of the word. They boast about aborting 336 million babies and this number is for certain a low ball estimate. Look at the babble of the so called Chinese scientist's explanation of "legal abortions" and "therapeutic abortions".The current medical literature equates "legal abortion" with "therapeutic abortion." The definition of the word "therapeutic," however, means "treatment of disease." The use of the term "therapeutic" is another pro-abortion attempt to sanitize a repulsive act, and it also implies that pregnancy is a disease — an assertion many pro-abortionists have made directly.
Can you imagine how sick people have to be to consider pregnancy "a disease".
Just look at this next section of Psalm 10
"His ways prosper at all times;
Your judgments are on high, out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity.”
7 His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he kills the innocent;
His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate."
Many of these people in charge boast of their evil and it is nothing less than miraculous for me to avoid their "lurking" and "stealthily watching" everything people like me do to save the unfortunate and rejected disabled orphans. I praise God that He has given me such success and yet they have nothing in me to "prosecute" me on even the slightest wrong doing. This is also amazing, not me but God working through me.
The saddest part of this battle is to see "Christians" used to attack the true work of Christ. Look at this section in Psalm 10
"He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair;
He lurks to catch the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.
10 He crouches, he bows down,
And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
The most evil deceptive methods were used to "break up" the relationship of me to the kids. These evil people resorted to lies, deception and went out of their way to trump false charges. I praise God HE has overturned all those false accusations and this is obvious with me being able to walk the streets of Beijing as a "normal" foreigner. I realize many want all this to just "quietly go away" and keep it out of the press again. It may look still like "the unfortunate fall" still but I know and believe verses 12 through 18 of Psalm 10
"Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand.
Do not forget the afflicted.
13 Why has the wicked spurned God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require it.”
14 You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand.
The unfortunate commits himself to You;
You have been the helper of the orphan.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
16 The Lord is King forever and ever;
Nations have perished from His land.
17 O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear
18 To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror."
Keep praying the HELPER of the orphan, the vindicator of the orphan and the oppressed will see us to victory. May my 10 and "Da Boys" continue to be what Daniel 12:3 says, "
Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever."
Ray and the 10, "Da Boys" and many more orphans in my plans.
