More News from China

Here is the latest update from our friends in China.

Keep praying!

Yesterday my husband traveled with a group up closer to the epicenter to help dig people out of the rubble and do medical assistance. They had special permission to go past road blocks, but no way to get there. It took a long time and many conversations to finally find transportation. It seemed one thing after another was trying to keep them from being able to go. We were praying like crazy. Finally, they were able to rent a car, after the 3 or 4th try. I don’t know all the details, we have only been able to talk for 10 minutes. He said it was devastation like you could never imagine, completely unreal. I hear it was horrific, as they dug through rubble in homes and a middle school and well, you can image. Apparently they were working with a medical group from the city and there were no foreigners back there for a while, not even the media (who snuck in later). At midday, the army came in mass. They were in groups to digging people out. My husband’s group dug out 7 survivors!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the survivors was a little 3 year old girl, who was as cute as a doll. She didn¹t have a scratch but had been trapped in rubble for 3 days.

Please pray for him and for the other volunteers to be able to stay!

Please pray that those who will be rescued and even those who won¹t would have visions of Jesus!

PS-I am so thrilled to know that on my 9th wedding anniversary, my husband helped rescue 7 lives...please Lord, let there be more!
