CHEMSTAR PRINCESS - 4 Korean officer and Myanmar crew. 2 Myanmar Christians on board. We
sang some Christian songs together, and prayed the salvation prayer with the Christians and the
Buddhists. There are many naked and starved people on the street and country side. They wanted us
to pray for them. So we did and blessed the vessel.
Pastor Jonathan Chiu from Formosan Evangelical Church came and helped the ministry a lot. He was here with me last Wednesday also, but I forgot to mention about it on the last week visitation report. My apology. He was asked to baptize the Chinese general steward on PAC ADARA. Praise God.

Pastor Malone wrote:
Thomas Tao is fulfilling the Great Commission by energetically evangelizing the seafarers. He's taking brothers with him to do the ship visitation. Pray for his health as he's carrying a heavy work load.
My beloved son, Mark, and his gracious wife, Angela, have opened up their home to me. They've
honoring me by taking such good care of me including my darling daughter, Paula who is a nurse. I'm following my cardiologist instructions by taking my prescribed medication. Walking 1 - 2 miles a day and eating right are challenges. Sleeping good at night helps me to function better the next day. Pray for my health and family as I regain my strength and help more in the ministry.
Pray also for our board meeting, Aug.12, and Thomas ordination, Aug. 24, at his home church,
Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. (Eph. 6:24)
