Days 1 and 2

Chris —  June 17, 2009

It’s Day 2 here in the Far East. Suffering from jetlag has allowed me to wake up at around 4am and have lots of quiet time. I’ve been reading Romans and Proverbs, and also working through N.T. Wright’s Suprised By Hope.

There’s not much that I can tell you.  We met our friends and are really impressed by their hard work on behalf of the followers of Daddy’s Son in China.  We spent the afternoon making two successful deliveries of books into China.

This is a bigger need than you might imagine.  It is “legal” to print Bibles in China, in fact, about 70,000,000 have been printed since the revolution.  However, about 20% were printed for export.  There are about 60,000,000 registered follower’s of Daddy’s Son.  When you add in those who can’t register, it’s more like 140,000,000–and growing daily. Clearly, they need the Word.

This morning, Kara, Sage and I went on an adventure.  We navigated the buses and trains by ourselves, and climbed a trail that had walled villages and ancestral shrines, some dating back 500+ years.  I’ll try to post some pictures soon.

We’re cooking lunch now, then we’ll to spend the rest of the day making deliveries.  Pray that Sarayu will give us a clear safe path to get these books where they need to be.
