Final Post

With much struggles we have finally got our plane tickets into China. We leave Thursday May 27 to Dalian and Dandong in China.

This will be my final post until I am allowed to post more sensitive information especially about God and YWAM.

Although China says they have religious freedom they don't want it to spread as much as we do because they feel it threatens the government. So to screen it they tap phone lines and read your emails as they please to "secure" themselves. In order to not threaten the YWAM base we are going to do any e-mailing until it gets secure for us.

Please keep us in your prayers.

Hong Kong and radio silence

This is going to be short because my batteries are going to dies soon on this laptop and I don't have an converter plug.

Any way,  after 33hours of traveling by bus and then 4 hours by plane we made it to Hong Kong.  The first 2 days in Hong Kong I got severely sick.  I had body aches, running a fever, headache, to name the major symptoms.  Thankfully to the Lord, I recovered in 48 hours.  All except for a cough.  Hong Kong is a very modern city. 

It's only been a few days here but it is much needed rest from India.

Radio Silence
We will soon enter China and when we do I won't be able to communicate for the duration of my time in China until I reach Taiwan on June 13th and then I will be able to communicate with you guys again.  The reason is that China reads people's e-mails and they will go through my content even if I sign in to my account.  Facebook is also banned in China but Skype is not.  So if you have that please let me know and I'd be more than happy to skype call you in China for a brief update.  Thanks for understanding.  I'll try to write you again soon before I take off to China.

Mcleod Ganj

Sorry for the lack of communication this past week.  It has just been a really crazy time of trying to get the Mcleod Ganj.  If you want to look on a map its in Himachal Pradesh and close to Dharamshala.  This region is where the Dalai Lama lives which is the religious leader for the Tibetan people.  The Tibetan people were exiled to North India  by the Chinese 51 years ago. 

Even though we are still in India the weather here is so much cooler than Hyderabad.  The place where we stay is a small town and most things are in walking distance.  The temple that the Dalai Lama presides in is a 5 minute walk from where we live.  Because Buddhism is idol worship, the region is spiritually dark with many monks you prostrate themselves over and over again to a golden statue of a demon.  But the Tibetan people are so kind hearted and peace seeking.  The people are very friendly and open to conversation.

Ministry wise, we have had to make it up as we go.  The place we are in is very sensitive because of the refugees.  This past weekend we had the opportunity to pray and worship for 24 hours straight from 4PM May 7 to 4PM May 8.  The pictures below and on the side are from the beginning portion of it.  It was a hard time through the night but it was so worth it in hoping and having faith for Yeshua the Messiah to come and bring revelation on Himself.  We cried out for the Tibetan people to come to know Yeshua and that from this place many will come to know the Lord. 

There are so many other people to introduce to make this happen but that will be for another time.  Sorry its so brief.  Please keep praying for us.  We have 4 days left until we head out towards Hong Kong.
