30 Years In The Making

30 Years in The Making

You read recently of our student and her husband who accepted The Lord this past year and we were privileged to baptize them in the resovoir on this previous trip.

Their coming into The Kingdom was 10 years in the making. 

We are trusting and praying that we will finally see a lady who kept us alive in 1985, and her husband, come to Jesus on this upcoming trip.

I leave for Beijing and Wuhan on July 4. 

In August 1985 we pulled up stakes and moved our family to Wuhan to work as English teachers there that school year.  It was a very difficult year for our family.

We were struggling to get food to feed our family.

Chen Yanping stepped in and rescued us.  The full story is Chapter IV, entitled Walking God's Path,  in Baby In A Box. 

We have stayed friends with her and her husband Liang ever since. They came and spent a week in our home in Kunming and we always visit them when we go to Wuhan.

Chen Yanping has been to America and England. She even attended George Fox [a Christian university in Oregon] as a visiting scholar one semester. She has attended church in both countries but she has never accepted Jesus as her savior.

She has always told us 'I don't understand it all'. Who does?

We do know that Jesus paid a horrible price that we might have life everlasting and that it is a free gift offered to everyone. As far as we know she and Liang have never reached out to accept His gift of life.

Will you please join with us in believing for their salvation.  

Please set aside time for just 10 days - starting now - to pray for hearts to be softened, for ears to hear and eyes to see that all have sinned and all need a Savior; and there is no other Savior but Jesus.

Pray every day for the salvation of Chen Yanping and Liang.

Please do this for just 10 days.
