...hears a who?...

Horton that is

You may recall the old Dr. Seuss story about a very large humble elephant who happened upon a dust ball one day. Leaning down admiring his find he hears a tiny little voice cry out for "help". He was excited to think he could do something for the tiny little inhabitants after all he muses "a person's a person no matter how small."

Horton is ridiculed by all around, tied up and the dust ball doomed for boiling oil UNLESS all the residents can gather around and make some noise (to make believers out of those in Horton's community).

"We're here, we're here, we're here," the residents shout out to no avail - all seems lost as the vultures swoop down to drop the dust into the oil. But as in all Dr. Seuss stories - at the last minute (remember the Cat and the Hat - mother on the way) one tiny child is found not to have made a sound. They rush the infant to the tallest tower in Whoville and out peeps a voice that breaks the "sound" barrier out into the Horton's land!

A person's a person...

There are over 1 BILLION people living in China - the vast majority of them have had no religious exposure at all. Confusionism, taoism, some buddism from their ancestors plays a minor yet no real influential role in the daily life of the average Chinese. Christianity... a myth

The Father is not slow as some would count slowness - but is long suffering that none should perish! You wonder what is keeping Him from returning? Think of the souls of a billion Chinese, crying out to the Church "we're here, we're here, we're here..."

Perhaps our Father is waiting for the "Horton's" who will stop and listen to the "who's"

in China...

Tonight there will be a public performance for over 400. Pray they will listen - pray some will hear!
