Your prayers are being answered in so many ways. In the last email we asked you to pray for more inbound Chinese vessels. This week 5 ships arrived carrying more than 100 seamen. Thomas and his coworkers had amazing visits setting them

Another answer to pray was our successful board meeting. We spent 3 hours discussing ways God is leading us to fulfill the Great Commission. We thank the
Lord for His provisions. One is personnel which Thomas, our full time chaplain, is doing the work of an energetic evangelist. He is lifting up Jesus around the world. Another is the way God is providing our finances. We spent much time finalizing our budget for next year. We're shooting high expecting a great harvest of souls. Thank you for your sacrificial giving on behalf of the the seamen and their
families who benefit from your generosity. We're grateful for your commitment. Please send your love gift to Rose, our dear sister and treasurer at this address. Att: Rose Young
