Dear Friends
Happy Feast of the Ascension!
May the thought of Heaven
give us more hope for our temporary life on earth
A temporary thought:
since this website began about 6 months ago,
there's been no mention of money
(except maybe a reference to cost of printing Bibles etc)
Today is an exception....because last Friday
at a detention center
I met a man aged about 30, from China,
in detention for a week for the crime of street begging in Hong Kong.
He's got only one leg, but he came to HK to
try to get money
for his family...wife and two children.
No welfare in China.
I asked him "Have you thought about an
artificial leg?"
He replied: "Yes, and I know where to get it...in Guangzhou...
but I can't afford the Y15,000 (US$2,400) to pay for it"
This conversation was generated by me.
He didn't see me and start asking for money.
If anyone would like to help pay for a leg,
I can arrange for someone in China
to make sure the leg is obtained
and money is not used for anything else
Once before, several friends in HK and in
China
helped a young man named Joe.
Click Joe link in line above, and keep clicking
Joe links in subsequent pages
to see Joe's story
Inmate is due out today.
I have his contact details in China.
May he can be helped, just like Joe.
If anyone would like to be part of a team
to help him,
please let me know: jdwomi@gmail.com
------
On this 20th of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Sichuan
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
My Bible Plan for today = readings for today's Feast of the Ascension
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
