Dear All,

Monday has passed and there is no news. We had been hoping that this perhaps was the day that God would deliver Yi Jien but it was not to be. It has been disappointing but not devastating. Again we are gently though painfully reminded that God's ways and thoughts are far beyond ours and God does not need to work within our time frame. I have been late in sending this out because Siu Yin and I have been talking and praying . . and we want to continue to hold on in trust and faith in our heavenly Father who we believe has been sheltering Yi Jien and us throughout all this time under His wings, and who still faithfully and lovingly assures us to wait in quiet trust.

Many of you have been sharing very encouraging passages from His Word (thank you) . . and He has also continued to assure us through His Word. He has given Siu Yin Proverbs 3:5 . . to trust in Him and not lean on our own understanding . . and for me as I continue reading Isaiah 41 and 42, the assurance that He is my God who is with me. We both just ended this night singing with Michael Smith (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcw3Tfg4CZg) 'How Great is our God.'

We want to remain faithful and obedient even when we might not fully fathom what is happening and so we ask that you continue to do the same . . . let us continue to come before His throne of grace to love Him and worship Him, and then we pray as He leads . . our end desire being above all esle that He be praised and glorified.

"For nothing is impossible for God." "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." (Luke 1:38) May these words resonate with each of our hearts as we come before our heavenly Father.

The peace and joy of the Father, Son and Spirit be with each of you, dear friends and family members.

Love in Him
