At 4:30 this morning, when I couldn’t go back to sleep (my body still doesn’t know what time it is!), I began to pray for the people of China and the employees of our hotel. It made me sad to realize at the Temple of Heaven that China in her past had the knowledge of God, but they only had an Old Testament kind of knowledge and didn’t know Jesus. Today, the Chinese people have forgotten God. Because of the hardship of their lives, many have given up hope. I pray for this to change! They need Jesus! On the other hand, Americans have been blessed with wealth and comfort, but America has forgotten God, so we need Jesus too! Therefore, we are not much different.
Today, as we visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and went to a Christian-owned restaurant, I prayed for both of the countries. In China, I am encouraged that things are becoming more open and God is working.

So good to see all of you with smiles and such fantastic background scenery. The Great Wall is an awesome sight!

Hi to my sis and brother-in-law, Rebecca and Edgar! Great pics and happy faces! That pic of the Wall is missing something, though! Rebecca will know what I mean! Good luck to the whole team for a safe and meaningful mission trip.
Great perspectives and reminders, Nguyen. We're praying with you and for you! Larry
