The Lord's hands have not been too short to save and protect us. Today we have much thanksgivings and prayer requests to share.

Mongolia is a very dimly-lit place when night falls. Last night on our way to dinner, one of our team members nearly fell into the sewage. Apparently somebody just bought the sewage cover in the morning, and thus the sewage was merely covered with a filmsy cardboard over it.

This team member tried to walk over the sewage, not knowing that it was not properly covered. And it gave way, causing her to fall into it. But thanks be to God that our team staff was there to hold on to her, and that she was strong enough to cling on to the sides of the sewage opening, before the rest of us rushed to lift her out.

It took quite a while for some of us to regain our composure and registered that we need to give her a hand.

Indeed, thank God that nothing worse happened.

We also heard from the Mongolian staff that due to the conflicts between the Chinese and the Mongolians, especially in the recent years, some Mongolians will actually get angered at the sight of Chinese. Therefore Chinese are not welcomed in Mongolia.

That actually put our team in quite a dangerous position, though we come from Singapore.

Last night there was a bunch of men speaking to one another with much intensity, and we got to realise that they were talking about us. They were agitated by our presence, and were throwing stones at the fence and speaking loudly. But thank God that they did not do anything nasty to us.

Please continue to pray for us for protection in this land. Thank you so much. We covet your prayers.
