27. Update: 12/16/02 - Pray for the Chinese man that is living with us at this time. He does not know what a God or a Jesus is. We need the power of the Spirit of God so that he will see Jesus. We have bought him a Bible and he wants to learn English from it. God needs your power from your prayers. I recal from the Bible that pharoh said to Moses, "Who is this God that I should listen to Him" Then Paul states "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? "

29. Update 12/16/02 - We have a new
Chinese student, Raymond, that claims to have power to tell others their
future events. We have been working with him and he believes that what he is
doing is wrong but the evil one is making it very difficult to change. He simply
needs to turn to Jesus Christ for his change. Please pray for him
Thank You!
