Romanian, and Chinese. We were on the first ship last Aug., the second ship and
the last ship last Jan. Steve Chao from WHCC came and helped the visitation.
I went to the first ship and Steve went to the second ship, since both ships were
in the same terminal and berthed right next to each other on two sides of a pier.
Both ships had about seventeen people came to the Lord and prayed separately.
From Tuesday to Thursday:
I attended the North American Maritime Ministry Association annual Conference
here in Houston this year. We had gathering at Norwegian Seamen's Church of
Houston. We had Panel Discussion on TWIC, Ecumenical worship at the Co-
Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. (see picture).And I met this Chinese seaman
friend at the Conference. Please pray for this able seaman. He lost one of his feet
on duty and he exhausted his insurance coverage. He chose to stay here to accept
his friends help rather than go home without hope. He is a Christian and his
Christian friends are helping him right now.
