update: 30th aug 2008
Dear All,
The weather today was better than yesterday but not that good for them to do the aerial search or bring in dogs. The search teams have come back with nothing as yet. It looks like tomorrow will be the only day where the weather conditions would be just right. Beginning Sunday and through the next week, the weather will be against us - more rain will be coming.
So humanly speaking, tomorrow would be the only window of opportunity for rescue where the physical conditions would be optimum. They will be sending in 2 dog teams, there will be an aerial search with helicopter/s and ground teams going out as well. They are going to do their best to cover as much ground as they can and begin early 7 am (your Sat night 9 pm) if weather permits.
I will not list down what to pray for this time. I believe that each of you should ask the Lord how and what to pray and allow Him to lead and guide you. Beyond wanting Yi Jien to be found alive, Siu Yin and my desire is that God's name be ultimately glorified and praised. Pray as the Holy Spirit leads.
We have not given up hope as yet . . and we are being hopeful not because we are simply being presumptuous that God must or should always save. For me it has always been, Lord Your will be done, regardless, whatever glorifies Your name, and here it could either mean death or life. But I am holding onto this hope that Yi Jien is alive because this seems to be what God is saying continually, not just to Siu Yin and myself, but to many, many others, not just a few; and many of those who have shared are people whom I trust and respect . . so that gives me that boldness to stand on this hope, otherwise I would not dare. With God who is the maker of heaven and earth, all things are possible.
The last stretch seems to be stretching but let us continue to hold fast and pray that His name be glorified through all this and that when Yi Jien comes out alive, there can be no doubt that this is a miracle that only God can do. And all praise and glory be to Him.
So thank you all again for bearing through this very difficult time of praying and waiting in faith upon Him . . . but I trust that God knows what He is doing and He is still in charge. Our family cannot find the words to express how deeply grateful we are to each of you, near and far, who have prevailed and travailed for us. Thank you . . .
In His Shalom
