This is an update news flash! Enkhe has become a Christian. He told us he was waiting for his children to learn so they could teach him how to become a Christian because his English was so poor. Now Enke became a Christian and is waiting for his family to follow the Lord. Praise the Lord. We also have a Mongolian family staying with us. Toya and Enkhe are studying here in Hanoi. They have an income of 150.00 or less each month and with Enkhe taking art classes (he is a very accomplished artist) and Toya studying computer (she is a very accomplished architect), they were having lots of trouble trying to stay alive. We have been letting them stay with us so they can save money on food as well as utilities. Enkhe brought Toya to Hanoi because he had been here for two years without Toya and their kids, Ooching and Onsor. However, when Toya came, she became pregnant and though they wanted to abort the pregnancy, we have asked them to keep the baby and we told them we will help provide for the child. Having 8 million people on our doorstep that do not know Christ is certainly a challenge. We need to do all we can do with what we have in our hands and we cannot become too concerned when we cannot do more. Often in the evening, when life slows to a crawl here, I wonder if there is some way we cannot do more, but alas, we can only do what we can and strain to do more as time permits.

Enke, Tuya, Uchin and Monju.
