I read your bio and see that you were in China for 15 years. Were you a missionary? If so, how did your brand of evangelism go over with the Chinese? Thay are rather fatalistic, are they not?

The Chinese are often more up on prophecy than many Americans.

They are certainly, as a group, more prayerful, more earnest, more humble, more Spiritual in the best sense of the word. The Cultural Revolution tended to weed out the rice Christians right and left.

Some are chagrinned at the prophecies which seem to refer to Mainland China vis a vis entering the midEast against Israel. . . but they still believe them.

Their eyes tend to be on their Soon Coming King and how to please Him and share His Love and Salvation. They are excited to be alive in such a prophetic time and to have such opportunities to be involved in the end times that many Biblical greats longed to see, as The Bible says.

My brand of evangelism? I just try to love people--when possible--to love them into The Kingdom. I also warn all and sundry about globalism and suggest bench-mark events that might end up fostering individuals deciding to seek God--the God of that crazy barbarian (moi) who's construction on reality turned out to be very predictive. That is, I plant a LOT of seeds with a lot of logical and emotional memory hooks Holy Spirit can easily use to call people unto Jesus.

Given the people showing so much love and tearfulness at my leaving, I guess I'd say my whatever seems to have gone over quite well enough. Mercifully, Jesus uses our best and our worst--and given that our best is but a used Kotex, I'm mighty glad He does use our best and worst for His Kingdom and benefit. Bless His Name and Power!
