JING AN CHENG - All Chinese. No short pass. We were on this ship many times before. The crew
was totally rearranged. Some knew me from previous visits, even on the other ships. To get in this
dock was a miracle because I forgot the badge today. Another miracle was that as soon as we got on
the ship, we met the only one Christian on board. The minute he found out that one of us is a pastor,
that was Pastor Jonathan Ling, he went to tears right there. He told us that he got a lot of pressure
from the ship, because everybody knows he is a Christian. And everyone was laughing at him when he
didn't go along with them to the prostitutes. He got a beautiful smile on his face when we left.
Pastor Ling, Mrs. Kelly Kao, and Daniel Jen from HCC came and helped visitation. They helped a lot.
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy - to the only god our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages now and forevermore! Amen.. (Jude. 24,25)
