I just confirmed my trip to China for the 1st week in August. I have been asked to teach the oneness from the Jewish Roots perspective and will also be visiting Beijing at the start of the Olympics. I was fortunate to get plane reservations and also a hotel in Beijing for 2 nights. We will be flying in to Beijing and then on to the city where the seminary is. The hotel rates have jumped in Beijing from the normal $55-$150 and up to most of them starting at $300 and going up to $1200 per night!! I was fortunate enough to get a "dive" for $150.
I am taking one of my ordained ministers who is also a college professor. We will be teaching in a seminary there. This is through a connection I made while in Korea at the first of the year.
I am also tentatively scheduled for a trip to India in November to teach the oneness to a large group of trinitarian pastors as well and be in a crusade there in Visak. They are planning on 15-20,000 people at the crusade. I'll give more details about how God miraculously worked this out. I will be meeting the pastor from India for the first time this weekend. The only connection was a lady in our church who just came from Australia, heard my oneness teaching here, went there and shared it with them and now they want me to come and teach it there.
These are the kinds of things I have talked about in God opening doors when we allow Him to be Him instead of us thinking that we have to get someone or even a group to become just like us in every "apostolic" way. I don't know where they are on Jesus' name baptism, but I'm sure I'll find out.
These things are extremely exciting.

It IS exciting!!! If anyone would like to go with me, I'd be delighted to have you. (You'll just have to "behave.") :D This isn't going to be "just a walk in the park" trip though, so be ready to rough it. I am serious about the invitation. Any takers, please PM me.

go get em MOW! It is exciting to see that trinitarians really do want truth and not as some here state they don't want any more. I think it has more to do with the attitudes fo those who are quick to condemn them than anyting.

I had a pleasant surprise today......I received a visit from my interpreter, while I was teaching in Korea, Pastor Kim Sam Sik. He was in the US to receive a Dr's degree from a seminary here. He is extremely excited about the China trip as this was his burden over 10 yrs ago. He has made 30 trips to China to establish bible schools there. This trip is important because the school is centrally located in China and easy for other to get to.
I just found out that this is an "underground" church and that there are no denominations allowed in China. They don't have a problem with Christianity, but they do have a problem with denominations and "secret" meetings.

You're a braver man than I am! I imagine there being so many people in one place this summer that the earth's rotation will be affected.
My wife is going over there before the Olympics... some sort of rock 'n roll missions tour.

Thank you for the "brave" tag. Others would use a different label! :D Beijing will be crazy, I'm sure, but it will be worth it for 2 days.
Also, here is a video of my interpreter (a UPCI pastor from Korea, I have preached in his church twice) talking about the China mission and establishing 8 Bible schools there. I mentioned in an earlier post that he was in the US and visited me yesterday. It was a real treat. Since he couldn't be here for Sunday service, I recorded him so I could show it to the church. Enjoy! :D

I just received my Chinese visa a short time ago and was stunned when they granted a Multiple Entry Visa for 12 mos! That is pretty amazing!
I was also informed that the Chinese Gov't has issued an "edict" banning all house/underground church activity, including Sunday services. This is a huge deal and could make it quite dangerous for us. However, I just found out that one of my fellow traveling partners is good friends with a Communist there and usually gets picked up in a Limo. Apparently, they have granted us permission to meet!!! This is incredible! God's favor is certainly being displayed.
Also, while on vacation last week, we met a man and his wife at the resort we were staying at (it was a Divine appt) who had questions about the house church movement in China. When he found out that I was going, he fought back tears. He was a scientist who works for the Navy in sonar research. He was so moved he told me that he was sending a check for the trip. I received the check today! I didn't even know his name.
God is absolutely amazing!!! I never ceased to be amazed over and over and over!!
Some of you will remember Bro. David Banta. We will be meeting him in China as we will be teaching together as well. He does most of his work in Korea and is the original connection for me ministering in Korea. :D
