Many people ask me what’s it like to be a missionary. I am well aware that we have it 10 times easier than Hudson Taylor and those who first went to China but it is still difficult. We may not travel on a boat for 4 months but I tell you it is still difficult on the body. I would like to give you my itinerary from the past 3 days just to let you have a glimpse of what it is like to do what we do.

Needless to say I am very tired. I thank God He has given us this great opportunity to be His voice to a people that have never heard His name. I would make this trip 100 times in a row if it meant God would continue to open these doors. We are working in areas where the church is underground and it hard to find them but God is directing to each place that we need to go. Thank you for your prayers and support that continue to make this happen. God Bless.
In Christ,
