He lives in those people's hearts. Those who believe in Him and accept Him as their own personal Lord

YUAN PING SEA - Chinese. We were on this vessel last November and a few times before. Many
familiar faces. I shared the God's Word with the captain and asked him to let me help him to invite
Jesus to coming into his heart. We also asked everyone in the dinning room to let us say grace and
give thanks to the Lord before the meal.
A young Christian from WHCC came with me to visit the ships today. Thank the Lord for the partnership.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. (Gal. 6:18)
