Dear Family & Friends,

Living with fear, threats, imprisonment without trial, raids, surveillance, betrayal from friends and neighbors, on top of the daily struggle for food, housing and health, nevertheless the underground Christians in China are joyful, resilient, filled with faith and multiplying. One bold pastor has 10 House churches meeting in buildings. Authorities continually padlock the buildings but he defiantly goes back, reopens them and continues to meet. He is being tracked.

As foreigners, our team, Dennis and Jackie along with Guine and Lisa Anderson of Harvest Now needed extreme caution in China meeting with leaders and house churches to not expose them. We met in closed rooms in restaurants or other foreigners homes and the Lord blessed with healings, salvations, baptisms of the Holy Spirit and much prayer for strength and encouragement. We were also able to bless them with financial support.

Note: names and pictures of our meetings cannot be published especially on Facebook for their protection.

Hong Kong is slowly coming under the grip of China's control. Millions in the streets protested against China’s new laws restricting Chinese residents from entering and returning to Hong Kong. For now the churches that are unregistered with the government are left alone to meet publicly without interference. However many of the apostolic pioneers who have worked inside China for decades have been blacklisted and can no longer get into China. Their strategy now is to train national Chinese as leaders to plant house churches inside China. It's working. Leaders and house churches are multiplying despite setbacks. Recently an ACE Christian school planted in China was raided, shutdown, children interrogated for seven hours with the principal’s destiny uncertain. In Hong Kong street evangelism reaped 50+ decisions for Christ. Our church meetings were filled with worship, preaching, words of knowledge for healing and many getting filled with the Holy Spirit. In many one on one meetings with leaders we spoke into their lives, encouraging them with prophecy, prayer and finances. Ministering to a group of millennial leaders was our great joy.

Pray for the underground Church in China, the leaders and House churches, for strength perseverance, continued faith and joy.

Pray the Holy Spirit helps us process all we experienced.

Pray for Bella and Daniela Anderson of Harvest Now, daughters of Guine and Lisa who will be in Hong Kong and China to minister to children for one month.

Thank you for your prayers and support to help us continue to teach and encourage pastors and leaders around the world.
