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!
