Day 5 of not being allowed to leave our home. I think about 70% of Beijing is probably on lockdown. But I hear grocery stores are being emptied wherever people are actually allowed out of their homes.

Beijing has 1800 new cases today and that’s huge for here. The days ahead will be interesting.

They come to our home each day to do covid test while on this lockdown. It feels surreal.

@faith20 Thank you for such a heart felt prayer! God Bless you!

UPDATE: So their family is locked into their home for 7 days. Their door was sealed with paper border that can only be broken when the white hazmat suits show up to take a daily covid test.... So far our own family has not heard anything, so we are ok for the time being!

Our city in China is locking down many areas. Lock downs in China are harsh and direct. Our friends door has had alarms installed on it so that if they open their door to go out, it will ring and notify their community and police. This is quite common. So far our city has handled lock downs fairly well compared to other ones where massive food shortages occurred.
Please pray for:
- our family and our sons family who lives nearby
- the elderly - it brings back memories of the Great Starvation days where they suffered greatly
- Christians to use these hard days to share Gods love with each other and those who are not saved yet!

We are preparing and getting ready! With vision and purpose while living in China! God be Glorifed

@speakthetruth 😂😂😂 I was just thinking tonight about how our house we live in here in China is crumbling apart! So true

Please don’t forget to pray for the orphans in China. Because of Covid no international adoptions are moving forward and there are many children waiting for parents and a loving home. 😰😰😰😰😰 they are on my hearts every day. Some little children even had parents arriving to be pick them up and bring them home.... when suddenly the China wall went up and no one could come in to pick them up anymore until Covid restrictions are lifted. Those children have been waiting ever since. Those parents are besides themselves waiting to come get them! Please pray the hearts can be turned soon to opening back up the roads for adoption. And that the people of God could also have moved hearts towards providing homes for children who have been abandoned and are suffering every day without a family.

"Mom the police are here!"
One thing I never get used to is surprise police visits! Today it was to introduce the new "Manager of Foreigners " and ask us questions. Our family is the only foreigners in our area! So it is an honor and privilege to be here.I believe it is important to always show love,kindness,respect and do our best to win people's hearts. A "from the past Anti-foreigner" attitude can still be seen and felt at times. Some will still use the words" white devils" in reference to us, but we understand WHY. They had to live through EXTREMELY unimaginable hardships during the years when China forbid white foreigners .They lived with intensity of Communism,Great Starvation,Tiananmen Square Massacre and more! So I find it easy to love those who may treat us wrongly or with prejudice.Jesus spoke on the Cross " They know not what they do"...
Having said all that, MOST people here are the sweetest kindest people!The Chinese have become my people in many ways and always will be!

Still on lockdown.
A few of you have asked if we are ok. Yes we are pressing on and keeping our eyes on Jesus. 🦋

But it truly living on pins and needles!

Uh oh! a new package arrived with our latest BTJ hackers Bible!!!!
move over hologram Bible....this is a game changer. 🥸

Thank you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️THANK YOU 🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉

- to those who have given towards our car need, we are absolutely thrilled to say that today we can sign the papers!!!!!! It is absolutely a miracle in our minds! And it has been major encouragement in our faith!

Tears of thankfulness fill my eyes as I write this!

We will press onward, showing as much love and God to the dear people of China, trying to make a difference that can bring them joy that is everlasting. Touching the lives of babes to the elderly!

And you all are a part of that! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
And a special thank you to one couple in specific who donated most of our need!🌹🌹🌹🌹

God Bless and HAPPY NEW YEARS!

PRAYER: there is 13,000000 people under 100% lockdown in one city in China. They are not allowed to come outside of their home. At all. Period. Or risk 10 days in jail and a fine.

Please pray for food to get to them all as the gov seems a little SLOW in meeting this need! And please pray for the elderly people as this scared them. They watched millions of people starve back in their younger days. Their friends. They’re family. Etc.

A couple other cities are also locking down in various degrees.

No Covid before Olympics is the cry of China!

There is 1300 cases in Xi’an.

We are sharing this in New Years Eve in hope that this precious family will be able to begin this new year with a wonderful surprise!

This has been a hard year for them here and when they were tricked out of all their money and sudden huge debt load it broke their hearts. BUT it is an awesome chance for Christians to help hem and build up their faith and joy!

Ann tells her unsaved family every time hello comes and they are barreled as to why Christians help strangers! So it’s a beautiful conversation opener each time!

Happy New Years and please pray for them! And share if you can!

Communist China. Living inside is often difficult. Guards everywhere. Cameras everywhere. People watching your internet. Can’t do this. Can’t say that.

Well something just happened to someone in the family. She posted a scripture on China’s equivalent to Twitter. (She posts bible quotes from this app often) And the GOV somehow STOPPED AND BLOCKED it from progressing further than her own PHONE!
No one else can see it!
And we have seen the exact same post on others posts on that same day. The exact picture. So why hers? It’s creepy.

When things like this hit close to home, it feels surreal! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
