China Wrap - A Beginning
The China trip is back on the ground in the US, and in spite of the travel delays, it was a success. I'm positive that this success is due to your prayers; the evidence of the spiritual opposition to the work of the trip was overwhelming. But God's power prevailed, and we will have much to share with you.
I have only begun to watch the footage, but it is riveting. These stories are nothing short of incredible, and the lives behind the stories are inspiring. These Christians live their faith; they have to, because even admitting this faith can land them in unbelievable suffering.
While there are many more updates to come, there is nothing better to begin than this. When asked what we could pray for, Pastor "Josh" replied,
Compared with other Christians around the world, including some foreign missionaries in China that died for Christ as martyrs in China, we have begun a little suffering by God's grace. I want you to pray for our country. You see, it appears that China prospers, but actually most Chinese people are suffering. So many Chinese, more and more, want an opportunity to hear the gospel, but the workers are really very few. We need to pray for China, that God will call and send more Chinese Christians to stand up and become servants of Jesus Christ.
