Dear Brothers and Sisters in Our Lord:
When the people in the disaster area in Sichuan lost peace, home, families, friends, even lives, what can we Christians who love our Lord and country do?
Since the beginning of year 2008 till now, snowstorm, earthquake, Independence for Taiwan, Independence for Tibet, Train incidence, Foot and Mouth disease, Deterrence for the relay of the Olympic Flame, turbulence in the stock market, continuation of inflation, economics bubbles, unemployment, corruptions….One after another, we have witnessed grave disastrous occurrences in China that could not have been predicted and prevented. Can we, as Chinese, have peace?
When all the Jews were facing slaughter and annihilation, Modecai told Esther: “Don’t think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4: 13-14).

“……Jehovah, I tremble as I hear your name. We beseech you to revive your deeds and manifest yourself during these years. Be merciful during your anger… Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.” (Habakkuk 3:16-19)
