Dear Friends
Last
Sunday night at the usual gathering for ex-inmates and poor people,
7 of the 50 special guests were people who were sleeping "in the park"
After
the gathering I took 2 of the 7 to a nearby cheap boarding house,
HK$90 per night, and agreed to help them stay there until their government
welfare became available. They came out of prison a month or so ago, but have to
wait for more than a month to receive any government assistance....a terrible
problem in HK
One of the two has just found a full-time job, the other a part-time job....but neither will receive a salary until they've been working for a month
As I bit the bullet of supporting them (one for 9 nights, the other for 13 nights)...with meals and clothing...I thought nervously about my bankbook's state of the nation
But then, in the next few days, two kind friends out of the blue gave me some "presents"...and I was once again struck by a repeat of what has happened so often before: as soon as I help poor people, "it rains". DG!
------
On this
26th of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Xinjiang
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
Today's
English editorial in the Ming Pao newspaper (HK),
Hot Money and the Property Bubble
and my recording of same,

tonight
My Bible Plan for today = Please join me in using these readings for courage in difficult times
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
