Christian literature. The last ship was very resistant, because the commissar
was at the gangway. He didn't want me to give any Scripture and Jesus DVD.
But after he went away, two seamen came to me and asked for Chinese Bible
and Jesus DVD privately. My heart was thrilled and excited, so I left a whole
box of Chinese Christian newspaper, calendar and literature on board as the
commissar permitted.
Grace be with you all. (Heb. 13:25)
