| Update concerning Bible courier ministry in China (thanks for the prayers) | | I am in a great need of ongoing prayer support. I will be flying out on the 28th of this month (Oct.) to Hong Kong. I will be taking Bibles into China from Hong Kong. I may make two trips a day (God willing) with Bibles, dropping them off at a safe house to be shipped throughout China. I have heard that the battle is at the border. The oppostition from the enemy will be very great.
And I will need an enormous measure of divine grace to complete this mission with victory that will come through Jesus Christ. There is a great spiritual battle that takes place at the border and I need SPECIFIC prayer and spiritual warfare done to push back the enemy so that the Bibles may get into China.
If there are people who want to commit to praying for me, if you want to please message me and I can get your email and give you updates of the situation so you can be able to pray into what is going on.
Please pray for me, that my faith will fail not; that when I am hurting physically, mentally, and emotionally I will have the strength to withstand and trust God as my place of refuge and Rock of offense, deliver and provider, protecter and redeemer.
Please pray that God would give me the strength and grace to fulfill His will and that He would give me the grace and ability to Believe on Him to uphold me and supply all my needs.
I will be working with Autumn Rain International which also has teams take Bibles into Loas and Vietnam and has done work along the Norh Korean border. Pray that God would give me clarity about whether He wants me to take Bibles elsewhere or to refrain from doing so.
Whether or not this mission is successful will depend on the amount of prayer which is pushing back the enemy and allowing Gods' will to be done. I am in a desperate need of the Lords' grace and ask you to join with me in prayer so that the victory will be Jesus Christs' and so Gods' people will be fed His Word so that it may do great wonders in the lives of those who are willing to die for it.
To GOD alone be the glory, thank you for your prayers and/or encouragement, sincerely, Jaron Lines _________________ Jaron

| Re: I want to humbly ask for ongoing prayer support concerning ministry in China | | Hi, I know how you are feeling. I did that 20 years ago. I took bibles into China and got caught at the border. They confiscated my bibles and allowed me to keep one copy each. I witnessed to the border guards that they were working against God by trying to stop Bibles to be distributed in China.
When I got out of China on my way back I asked the border guards to give me back the bibles that they confiscated from me and many others. So I came back with more bibles from China than I originally brought in.
Nevertheless, we had a good time in China and God did some work.
Be of good cheer bro! Satan is more scared of a real Christian than you should be of him.

| Re: I want to humbly ask for ongoing prayer support concerning ministry in China | | I am so honoured to have you here with us at Autumn Rain International carrying Bibles. I am honoured that some simple writing I did on this forum a while ago along with my blog were breathed upon by God to be a tool that you would know about the needs and feel convicted to act.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13 ESV) May he be your portion and your lot, may he satisfy your soul in all things for the joy of all peoples by the work which he bears in fruit through you.
I commend to you the following biographies to you about men who I have chosen because of not only the way God used them, but because they all have endurance in common.

[url=http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Biographies/1460_Brothers_We_Must_Not_Mind_a_Little_Suffering/]Charles Simeon - Brothers, We Must Not Mind a Little Suffering[/url]
These have given me hope while being here in Hong Kong carrying Bibles into China. My prayer is that many people like you Jaron will feel a passion to spread the supremacy of Christ to China by bringing God's Holy Word through the borders.
God bless you Jaron, and God bless everyone praying for you and for Autumn Rain International.

| Re: | | Thank you whoever has been praying for me. I have been caught with Bibles two different times so far... But God has given me the grace to make it through a number of times. The battle is won through Christ. Please pray for me. _________________ Jaron
