#srilanka needs your prayers!
The food crisis is getting worse.
Please remember our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Also the poor, orphans and widows.

Prayer Request!
My sweet mom had carpal tunnel surgery on her right hand yesterday morning. She's a touch 91 year old that looks and acts 70.

This is heartbreaking.

How God values His children

These are pictures we took at an orphanage we visit to help. Our hearts break as we wipe dirt or dry vomit off their little bodies. Or unleash them from a chain holding them to the wall so they can’t move more than a foot away. Or tend their oozing infections in their mouths, feet or wherever. When I have one of these little ones near me all I feel is love and compassion. To tend them with the most Jesus love possible. We can’t go see them right now because of covid. I hate covid. But when I PRAY, I ASK GOD TO SHEILD THEIR MINDS AND HEARTS and to help them feel HIS LOVE regardless of what humans are doing. And I BELIEVE with ALL MY HEART that God answers and honors these prayers. For HIS heart breaks even more than mine.

So Christians please care! As a church we CAN make a difference. We can adopt. We can support financially. We can help physically. We can pray. We can advocate.

Or We can forget and look away.

My thoughts from China tonight.

#prayer
Prayer, in God's economy, is the heavy Artillery in our spiritual warfare.

Artillery:
"Artillery is a class of heavy military ranged weapons built to launch munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearms. Early artillery development focused on the ability to breach defensive walls and fortifications during sieges, and led to heavy, fairly immobile siege engines. As technology improved, lighter, more mobile field artillery cannons developed for battlefield use. This development continues today; modern self-propelled artillery vehicles are highly mobile weapons of great versatility generally providing the largest share of an army's total firepower."

Shall we not call for increasing prayer?? YES! We shall.

In light of your podcast with @bethany when I stumbled on this I thought of you

This is pretty distressing reading and very blunt - "Men will be absent from church by 2028 at the current rate" and the departure of men is, according to statistics anyway, "speeding up"

It states Mentioned that men are increasingly not applying to be priests/vicars/ministers etc

Church attendance in the UK has dropped by 50% since 1950, and "has become a place by women for women"

Also, that two thirds of the UK Christian populations do not attend a church.........

Those few quotes made me re-read them several times!

9 new Iranians baptized in a special house church meeting!

Joined an underground meeting of about 25 people today. The Holy Spirit came down during 10 hours of crazy fellowship.
I didn't want it to stop!

@bethany I found a bright Muslim man who was not looking for Jesus God’s Son; but willing to look at the truth and finally accept Jesus as God’s Son and Savior! This book helps you understand both belief and social systems in an honest way!
