Another Great Night of Giving Away Bibles

Wow, this never gets old. Another 440 Bibles were given away last to the Chinese tourists. That brings our total to around 1,180 so far. Given that each copy is read by 10 people, we look forward to that being almost 12,000 people reached by the word of God in a couple of days' time. During my shifts to pray during the distribution. I am praying for the people to take the Bibles, but also for the people who will influence their workplaces. For the ones who will start a church in their home. For the parents who will influence their children. For the young people who could become strong for Christ. We met a young man last night whose grandmother and great-grandmother were Christian and feels good about Christianity. He thinks he is close to becoming a Christian also, but he is not ready yet. We prayed for him, that he will take the steps of faith towards Jesus. We had a great first group, during which we gave out over half of our Bibles for last night. Then the rain began. By rain I mean hurricane. We moved 20 boxes of Bibles into a pavilion and re-set up shop. This dampened the distribution a little, but we could still see God at work.
Fun note of the day. Almost the entire group ate meat on sticks from a vendor cart. Even Bill. Pork and chicken were the flavor of our day. In fact we wiped out her supply of pork. Delicious. The meat sticks are great. You choose your sticks and they grill them while you wait.
Today we will worship with Christian ministers from various ministries around town. So fun to meet so many brothers and sisters in Christ. We will have another distribution tonight. Please pray for dry weather. Please pray for the efforts of our group as we are growing in Chinese and in boldness. Pray that God will use us to reach the people he desires to bring to himself.
