One Chinese Christian, the general steward on board. He was the one Pastor
Jonathan Chiu baptized on another ship last year . He called my name when
he first saw me this time. As we went through the Bible, he told me he led his
parents and his grand mother to Christ this year. (see picture 2, the G.S.,
captain and I). We also shared the Gospel with the second engineer. He agreed
to ask Jesus to come into his heart to be his best friend. He got baptized
finally. There was no Christian on the last ship. It's a little unusual. We blessed
