His both legs were broken, and ankles were crashed. One of the doctors said to me it will take six month to one year to get fully recovered. We read to him Psalm 103,3-4 "who forgives all your sins, and heals all your diseases, who redeems you life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion." Please pray for his recovery. His name is Chuan Min Du. While we were there, he was asking how to become a Christian. We introduced Jesus to him to be his friend. He repented his sins and accepted Jesus Christ in his heart. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. (3 Jn. 15) Please keep on praying for negotiating with the Houston International Seafarers Center and the Port of Houston Authority about the gate lists.
