I just returned from China after ministering for three months. It was a great adventure. I want to share with you what you are a part of.

 During the last 6 weeks of my stay, a rumor of the Chinese Secret Police watching cell church leaders made everyone nervous. Police activity also seemed to increase due to the 10th year anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. The year 2009 didn’t help the mood. The Chinese believe bad things happen in years ending in 9. Then there was Swine Flu concerns that swept the county. Because of this concern, SIAS University significantly limited their end of the year festivities which was to be a grand celebration with many foreign dignitaries. The Chinese government limited the number of westerners entering the country because of the epidemic fears and made traveling difficult. All air travel passengers in China had their temperatures checked prior to disembarking any aircraft.
