1 ship on Sunday:
XIAMEN SKY - All Chinese. I took seven seamen including the captain to Houston Chinese Church for
Sunday School and Morning Worship. They all liked it and received Jesus. Only for the captain, this is his
second time for him to make such decision in a week. We met Pastor Malone at HCC. He was visiting there.
Then we went shopping in China Town.

the Filipinos, and gave them the Scriptures and the Jesus DVDs.

on the first ship a little bit over three weeks ago. All the crew remained the same. We just delivered some
current Christian Newspaper and magazine. The second ship had a Russian Orthodox captain. We talked to
the only Chinese electrician on board, and convinced him to received Jesus as his personal Lord and savior.
They all received Jesus DVD of their own language.
