Hong Kong, China
Dear Internet reader,
Thank you, for your support of prayer, which does help us to reach out to China with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Matt 9:36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. NKJV
Dear Internet reader,
Thank you, for your love and prayer support of this ministry which does reach Hong Kong China and others with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you were in China this would be the time to say Happy Luna New Years. Carol and I are very thankful for your support that also helps us meet our daily needs. Sister Carol is doing very well while here in the USA, last year we went back to Hong Kong and she had to spend the last ten days in the hospital as they got her medications wrong. It seems like over the last five years she has spent weeks at a time in the Hong Kong Hospital only to get better and need to go back again. Here the doctor says he does not want to see her going back in the hospital. He corrected the medicine for her and she is doing better. She will see the doctor again as it seems she needs to sleep a lot more now. Then at the same time, she has fewer headaches and seldom now has a migraine. We are thankful for that; we would like you to keep praying for her health.
The VA says my blood pressure is a little high and at times, my blood sugar is a little high, so please pray for me also. Since 1964 most of the time, we been in Asia, lived in the Jungles and small villages to small cities where we seen many healed and saved. The schools we helped build are still going on, and the churches we helped build are still in service and thousands have joined and many more have heard the word of God in outdoor meetings, churches, street meetings and such. They are all blessed and growing, under the leadership now of the nationals, native workers and pastors. As one said we worked our way out of a job, which is what missionaries are suppose to do.
In our last letter, we were planning to go back to the Philippines for a conference. Now we were told will be held in Island that is 400 miles south of where we would arrive. The transportation is not very safe, they overload the ships, and then the cost once there and back is high. The Dewings let us know they will not go at that time. Therefore, it seems we can only pray for the meetings and God blessings are with the conference. We would like to return to Hong Kong to visit and minister for a few weeks, the Lord willing. In May, our Chinese church is starting a service in the town of Tsing Yee. With once a month Sunday morning service and hope by 2007 that will develop into a church. They have asked for your prayers for this. Also as in the past, we would like to send funds, for youth camps, as we have done before. $40.00 each would pay for transportation by bus, and three days 2 nights at the camp, all meals and rooms for sleeping is included in that amount. Please mark your check in the memo area. “FOR CAMP” or “YOUTH” and we will make sure they receive the funds, as I have set up a ATM account for the Pastor to get funds from the USA and it will be received in Hong Kong dollars there.
Elizabeth our daughter is now out of the Hospital in Dallas and doing much better. It was on Christmas day she collapsed and could not get enough air and was in pain in her chest and stomach. We would like to ask you to keep her in your prayers. Carol and I are praying we can minister here in the USA and earn enough to pay our bills and such here. There is not enough monthly income to support what is needed for each month rent and living cost in Hong Kong. It seems with the high cost of fuel and such the cost of living in Asia has gone up. We will keep you informed when we can return to the mission field. Until then we would like to keep helping the churches as much as we can here and in China. The Sheung Shui church has told me that they would like to buy a place so they would not have to move every few years. That would be large enough seat 300 people or more, it seems impossible but with God, all things are possible. God has met our every need while here in the USA and we are thankful. We are still residents of Hong Kong China, and next year I understand we will have to go back to renew my papers with the government. I would like to ask your prayers for us at this time of change in our life, that whatever God wants we would obey and be able to do.
Yours truly in Christ Jesus,
Raymond and Carol Knapp
