seamen. (See picture 3 for one of the able seaman and me). He told me he was

a Hindu. One time he injured his leg, it was no use to pray to the Hindu gods. His

friend introduced Jesus to him. And Jesus answered his prayer and healed him.

Regardless his father's opposition, he believed in Jesus ever since. He always

carried a pocket size NT with Psalms and Proverbs with him. You can tell he has

a strong faith in Jesus. The other ships were mostly receptive.

Please pray for Pastor Malone's health. He felt down in his room Friday morning. That's

not very critical. But his swollen legs caused him to go to the Emergency Room at St.

Luke's Hospital. Now he is in room 1431. He will be there for another day.
