Diary of a Front Line Worker
From the East Asia newsletter

God worked in amazing ways as volunteers distributed Bibles in Southeast Asia to tourists from China over the Chinese New Year holiday. Read some selected excerpts from the diary of one of the volunteers:

There were moments last night when we literally could not get the Bibles out of the boxes fast enough to keep up with the waves of tourists coming by.

The young man who accepted Christ was named Liao. He is 17. His father, a professor at a Beijing university, asked me to share with his son about God. He himself had met God in Russia when he was studying abroad. The son was ready to receive Christ after we went through the four spiritual laws. They want me to come to Beijing to baptize him.

I met four Muslim men from Xinjiang, Western China. I offered them Bibles. They wouldn't take them. I said they were free. They said they couldn't take them because they were Muslims. I told them even Muslims need to know God, His love, and His grace. They took them and started reading them. I went through the spiritual laws with them in the lobby (of the hotel).
