Dear brothers Thomas and YingDu,

Praise the Lord! Seafarer Niu is on the way to airport now and his flight departing to Hong Kong should be leaving around six this evening. There are two officers from the Port of Houston accompanying him and his family (younger brother) is waiting for him in ShenZhen, China. 

Blessings,

Dear brothers Thomas and Ying-Du,

Have talked with the clinic that arranged the psychiatric evaluation this morning and given them a report of yesterday's interactions with seafarer Niu JianXIn. Mr. Niu was cleared by the psychiatrist that he can travel early in the afternoon. He was given a calling card so he can call his company and family. His concern about possible foul play during his flight back to China was addressed to the authority. The officer at nine this evening and Mr. Niu have been communicating through translation apps on their smart phones. The same officer has indicated that Mr. Niu has been telling him that his and his family's safety can be compromised once he is back in China.

As of now, the arrangement is two officers are going to fly with Mr. Niu to Qatar tomorrow around six in the evening. He is continuing on to China. The two officers will accompany him during the eight-hour transit in Qatar and then escort him to the departing flight to China. 

Will continue to monitor the situation of Mr. Niu until his safe return to China.

His servant,

George Chan

With YingDau Lu at Holiday Inn. Translated for the seafarer Niu JianXin and police. Made some calls on behalf of  the seafarer to shipping agent/company in Hong Kong and China. Gifted him a bible, DVD, and calendar. Spread the gospel and prayed. Seemed to be calmed down and his nervousness was eased by talking to company reps and friends back home. 

Regards,
George Chan
