I'll be with two other volunteers this afternoon at 5 pm at the home of a dear couple from Iran who have invited us for dinner. Their purpose is to say thanks for all the help we've given them over the past 3 years in moving two times and other practical needs. Please pray that they will totally open their hearts to Jesus! They've been in many Bible studies with us and tonight I am planning to share my testimony. Thanks so much for your prayers.

Pray for someone to take over the ministry here in Austin. Most of my ministry is now by Zoom to returnees in China. More and more are "phasing out" as a result to governmental pressure.

Praise God for a great turnout for our first Home Goods Giveaway. A wonderful supporting church (bless them and their continued outreach to the students, Lord!) and lots of nice gifts (including homemade lap quilts) for the students. We grieve there were fewer students this year with all the political turmoil but pray for seeds of friendship and peace to grow from this event. May conversations lead to our Lord Jesus - the best and greatest of all gifts as I was reminded today.
