my latest post (and first for a while)

all to do with Covid, fear and God's perspective

Covid and The Golden Ticket

Take your mind back, and you might remember seeing the first signs that Covid-19 could well be a real issue, heading our way, like a freight train running along the tracks towards the edge of a cliff!

Scroll on a couple of years, and it is still making the lives of tens of millions of people difficult, at best. It has taken many loved ones from their family, way ahead of time, and it has created an abundance of fear.

We’ve seen governments, the media – and especially social media – capitalising on the fear of covid, to spread more fear for their own ends: as one doctor recently asked, where are the international campaigns, outrage and outcry about the dangers of eating too much sugar, or drinking too much alcohol: covid is indeed terrible, but there are other serious health issues out there too, which seem to have been forgotten about.

I truly want to thank everyone for their kind birthday wishes.
And to all my friends in Poland who came together and prepared a surprise birthday party in Krakow (even with a KETO cake)? I feel overwhelmed, humbled, and undeserving.
Nothing but love to you all.
My heart is full!

This woman has been nominated to influence world banking and her proposals have the potential to make her the most dangerous person in the world in regards to Christian missions and most people have never heard of her.

for the first time in two weeks, I actually feel like I am a bit better than I was yesterday

plenty of things going on in our family life, but we have (thanks for the praying), perhaps, made some progress generating something of a short term fix for our website (very technical and I had to get @TakeN wo work through it with me 'cos my brain just couldn't understand it all)

thanks to my beautiful DingDash family - you've been such a strength and support over the past 2 weeks of Covid. we've been humbled by multiple message of love, prayer and support

I've got 1 antibiotic pill left to to take today

Jo is back at work today, which - for her - means working from home until this evening. she still has a mild, dry cough, and is a little slow and weak

boys are back at their home ed, and Peter is doing a sterling job getting on top of some of the housework that has built up - he's loving helping his family out this way

i'm still in bed, but getting there

Jesus is Lord!
Do we proclaim Him before men, or are we afraid?

I'm reading @sinbach's book right now, and the theme "from east to west" is central. It's super interesting to read about the Chinese vision to bring the gospel from China back to Jerusalem - and how it is rooted in Scripture. There are so many verses that talk about east and west, that I haven't even noticed, or heard anybody teach about. I suppose most people have not.

To all my Dutch friends, this book about the amazing life of Pastor Zhang Rongliang is now available.
How did a former rising star in the Communist Party become a Christian? How did he start an underground house church movement with over 10 million believers today?
This is a powerful testimony that changed my life forever.

Imagine....your child leaves home for school in the morning and later that day you discover that the government detained them and all their classmates and sent them to a government quarantine camp because someone in the school was suspected of being exposed to the coronavirus.
This just happened at our sons' secondary school in Hong Kong.
No one at the school was sick.
No one from the school has tested positive.
The detention of all 120 children and sending them to a government quarantine camp was based on POSSIBLE exposure.
