It seems that every mission trip has a day or an event that turns the momentum from “a fun camp” to an encounter with God and this one is no different. The last two days have been very good in spite of the ever-present spiritual warfare we’re encountering. As a team, we’re reading the book, “Revolution in World Missions” by K.P. Yohannan. If you haven’t read it yet, you should. I’ll put a link at the bottom of this page if you’re interested in getting it for free. Any time you’re doing God’s work, the enemy hates it and battles against it. We’ve used the past two mornings to pray alongside our Chinese brothers and sisters at the camp. Its an amazing site to see about 100 Christians linking arms together (like a chain) to pray for God’s Word to bear fruit in the hearts of the children and some of the unsaved Chinese helpers.

Today a cute little 6 or 7 year old girl named “Singer” was asking Ale’ about Jesus after hearing the song, “Amazing Grace.” “Who is Jesus? What is the cross for?” This is the same girl that told me earlier in the week that her daddy said, “Jesus is a myth.” Ale’ brought her to one of the Chinese believers who was able to answer her questions and she bowed and asked Jesus to save her from her sins.

I’ve asked the team to pray for a girl named Heidi who is one of our translators. As I spoke with her yesterday I was asking her if it was difficult to translate for us. She said it wasn’t but she wasn’t a Christian so she didn’t know how to find the verses in the Bible that we were referring to. I assured her that we would find the verses for her so she wouldn’t have to search. Today I sat down and talked to her again. I asked her if she had a bible and she proudly said she was given one yesterday. I asked her to read John 3 and we would talk about it tomorrow. She agreed so I ask that you’ll pray for her as she opens up the pages of God’s Word and begins to read it for the first time. She’s very open and I believe she’ll become a Christian by the end of the week.

The team is doing good. Some are getting tired so please pray for strength. I will do my best to get some of them to blog tomorrow as well as add in some pictures.

We’d love it if you would pass on this site to your address book as we need many people to pray for us.

Here are some prayer requests:

• Singer
• Heidi
• Health and strength of team (as of today, I don’t know of anyone who is sick)
• 2nd Team traveling over here as I speak
• Friday night banquet for parents
• Saturday/Sunday parenting seminar
• Other opportunities I cannot mention on here but God knows what they are.
