and one Ukrainian captain; All Turkish; All Chinese. There were two

Christians on the first ship, bosun, and an able seaman. As I just got on the

ship the Hindu chief mate told me he was thinking about changing religion

what he should do. I told him we are sinners and we need to have Jesus in

our heart. And we prayed the salvation prayer together. (See picture 4,

chief mate is the one on the right). As I was just about to leave the ship at

the gangway, an Hindu ordinary seaman came to me and said he wanted to

believe in Jesus and he asked me to pray for him for his test to become a

third officer next year. I prayed with him and led him to Christ. The

Chinese ship had a commissar on board and they were busy with the ship

chandler, but I still finished giving out all my Gospel materials and won the

chief cook and captain's favor to stay on board for dinner. (See picture 5

for part of the crew, and picture 6 for the chief cook and me).

and he invited us for dinner. The Chinese crew also bought some phone

cards from us. And we prayed for them.

Payton Huang from WHCC came and helped the ship visitation today. We

visited Pastor Tom Malone before we went to visit the ship. He wanted this

to email to everyone again:

Precisely at midnight on April 16, 2010, I, Tom, received this message from

the Lord. He said, "Tell my people that I am coming NOW."

Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

If you haven't received Jesus as your personal Savior, simply pray...

Jesus, I repent of my sins. I believe you died form me and rose again to save

me. I trust in you completely. Amen.

Jesus' coming is closer and closer. Gospel is preached closely to all nations.



Peace to all of you who are in Christ. (1 Pet. 5:14)
