So we went home in a Rickshaw! And our home is a loooong way from town! But this old man was SO sweet!!! Who could refuse such a kind soul? He saw taxis giving us a hard time, so he came forward to help us. I thought it was too far (which is why I didn’t even consider it at first) but he smiled a toothless grin and say “no problem” so ...... ok! We hopped in and enjoyed the ride home so much. Cold wind blowing through the windows and cracks in the welded together metal frame. From Now on I will always seek the rickshaws now that I know they can make it home! I’d rather give my money to the elderly and those who are more poor and I always use them in town!
As I soaked it all in I was reminded that these are some of the most precious moments here in China that one can never experience in North America.
@ManyFreeBirds THANK YOU SO MUCH! He is on our minds in our prayers every day here right now. May Jesus set him free!
PRAYER NEEDED: We were driving down the main street in our town here in China, when I saw a man, completely naked IN THE WINTER COLD! He was lifting a very large public metal garbage can and banging it on the ground. We immediately turned our van around to go help.When we got to him there was a crowd of 100+ spectators. Not one helping. Not one in position to help women and children if he ran towards them. Just videoing and laughing. I wept over this afterwards. I walked up to him and saw bruises on his back.He was crouching at the time and was attempting to lift the metal garbage box above him. I immediately told him her was loved and called him a friend. He stoppped. He let me take his cut bleeding hands off the box. Suddenly he sobered up mentally and started to speak English. We only exchanged a few words and the police arrived.he panicked and yelled “please don’t take my life” over and over as they forced him into a police car. Pray for him. For Salvation. For Jesus!
This is my daughter Lisa, who has Placenta Accreta. Plz pray the placenta quits growing through the uterus and Lisa will suffer NO bleeding problems. She has had 2 miscarriages; this will be her 3rd child. Thank you for praying! This DD family is priceless... If we never meet in person I know we'll have a blast when we meet in Heaven! I truly love you all.
Please pray for my son Brandon for healing!!!!
He needed to get a nose blockage opening surgery and tonsils out as he had a problem that was making him quite sick and there were no other options. 😭 The pain is unreal- having both done at the same time.
He has been experiencing a VERY DIFFICULT time. I feel so badly for him. He is trying to be as cheerful as he can while bleeding from his nose and phlegm from the mouth and the pain of both surgeries. He also has fever.
Someone asked if there is anything that they can do to help and yes...there will be extra costs involved for him, and as you know because of a severe lockdown here in China, he has been unable to work. So, if you feel led to help it would take a weight if worry off his mind ❤️ As a family man with two little babies and wife.

And this banner was hand painted by an elderly Christian Man in traditional Chinese calligraphy. It was given to our family as a gift to when we were new in China.he heard about our first orphan baby we saved and his heart was moved. It’s it very precious to us. It says “Jesus Loves You”.....
@sinbach I think naturally frontline missionaries will be having to silence more and more these days! Good word picture!

These two churches have 1000's of great sermons! We love them!
@nstone This is a group that is part of the Charity Church :-) Here is a website to 1000's of sermons from 2 of the churches for all who might be new to them! They are blessings for sure! http://www.charityministries.org/
@Daniel we have a child we are trying to adopt. He is also autistic. His is due to brain injury. And he also has brain damage that causes a few rare types of seizures. I’ll be honest. It hard sometimes.
I understand what your feeling and my heart goes out to you. Where you live there is probably a lot of resources and programs to help! I want to encourage you to find some and utilize them as I am sure it would really help. I’m in China where I do not have access to them. Also search for a Christian support group to learn from and bounce ideas off.
God gave you this precious child because he KNEW that you’d be the best Parents for her. You can do this 👍🏼🥰👍🏼🥰👍🏼🥰👍🏼
We will be visiting a rural country orphanage in China tomorrow. - if any of you want to donate towards this trip, we will use any money
for items such as baby formula powder, new sleeping mats (the ones they have are always soiled with body fluids, baby shampoo, bandaids and medical supplies, and vitamins, and whatever else they need that we could provide.
So any donations will go towards things like that. There is no cap to their needs as they are quite poor.

Happy Chinese New Years! I must say, last year we were under lockdown and this year we have been under an even more strict lockdown for the past month. We are a year closer to the return of our Precious Lord Jesus, and seeing even more so the desperate need for people to care about the lost souls around them.
Pray for us here in China.
@sinbach 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think language changes you. To truly speak another language you often have give yourself over to another culture - to think differently. Sitting at a table last night, breaking bread and surrounded by amazing Chinese friends made me realize how much I have missed fellowshipping in the Chinese language.
I text and speak Chinese every day, but to be in fellowship together, eating, bonding - that is truly something else entirely.
