3. I am currently receiving broadcasts directly from three TV stations in China to improve my use of the Chinese language AND to increase my knowledge of conditions within China.

4. I ASK CHRISTIANS TO PRAY FOR THE CHINISE GOVERNMENTAL CRACKDOWN. 

5. PRAY for my attempts to communicate by mail with Russian speaking people in Central Asia who have email and regular postal addresses they have given to me. Many of these are Christians. Some are probably not Christians.

6. PRAY for Arabic contacts with people I have in this country as I ask for their help in continuing to study their language. These contacts are reasonably friendly, but they are so busy with their own buiness and family schedules they often have very little time left for keeeping in touch with people like me - probably because I do not run in their circles.

Love and prayers for HIM in Christ, Jim Sherwood
