Dear Friends
Last
Wednesday at Hei Ling Chau Island, I visited a centre for about 120 "young
drug offenders"
and offered them the new Chinese edition of "Dr Jesus" (which has
references to getting out of drugs)
and the new Chinese edition of "Simple Bible: Old Testament"
Books
went like hot cakes. So much so that I ran out of books
and will have to return to that centre next Wednesday DV
All
of these young guys are under 21 years old.
Many are 15-16 years old
Nearly
all of them left school early.
Very few made it to Year 9.
Many never made it to secondary school (Year 7).
Most of them, a big number, are from broken/troubled homes
Bottom
line: let's do all we can to help students stay at school as long as they can.
Let's do all we can to support students in their studies.
Maybe schools can have after-school study centres for special students?
(..most of young people above had no study encouragement at home...).
Let's do all we can to help families stay together
------
On this
22nd of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Zhejiang
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)

Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
