Spring China Trip Planned

We'll be heading back to China in March so please keep us in your prayers as we minister to unreached Tibetan Buddhists and Muslims in the northwestern provinces.

Prayer requested for my mother

December 05, 2009

Here is a quick update on my mother's condition and a request for continued prayer.

Early Tuesday morning my mom (90 yrs. old) suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. Since that time she has had another heart attack (Wednesday) and it is thought that she may have suffered several mini-strokes. At this point, she is weak but doing a little better since a temporary pace-maker was inserted. Keeping her blood pressure stabilized with medication has been a bit of a challenge but she was feeling a little better today. Mom knows that many of you have been praying for her and she is very grateful. Please continue to lift her up to the Father as she walks through this difficult time.

Day-by-day Report on the Recent China Outreach

November 29, 2009

Started our adventure by leaving Xining on the 7:15am bus for Henan.

Henan - Tibetan town. I was possibly there before and restricted to our room about four years ago. Huge police station in town with a big horse statue in front. Stayed in a round hotel for 120.00 yuan. Only gave my name and "USA" for ID. No passport. The ride from Xining took about 7 hours by bus. Lots of mountains, yaks, sheep and snow capped mountains. Large Buddhist population with shrines seen often. Approx. 500 tracts were distributed in Tibetan and Chinese. set out from hotel at 9:30pm for the outskirts of town. Made it back to the hotel by 2:30am. Hotel was locked with bicycle chain so we had to squeeze through.

When we were leaving the hotel in the morning, we had to wake the girl behind the counter. She fiddled around for about 15 minutes but never produced the room deposit. Had to leave without the $8.00.

Left for Maqu on the 7:30am bus. Luggage piled on the roof and very overcrowded. The aisles were filled with cases of Pepsi and large sacks or who-knows-what. A bird flew into the bus window and had to be caught an thrown out. Lots of snow capped mountains. Yak and sheep are tended to by nomads who live in yurts. A child kept peeking a Gabriel from the seat in front of us. He eventually got up the nerve to reach out and touch the "white guy". The roads to Maqu were often dirt and very remote.

Maqu - Arrived at 2:00pm. Hotel cost 180 RMB. Left the room at 10:10pm. Distributed 70 Tibetan and 550 Chinese tracts. Returned to the hotel at 1:30am. We were locked out again so we had to climb a tall gate and enter a rear door from the back parking area.

Hezheng - Arrived at 2:00pm after a 7 hour bus and van ride. I met a Tibetan on the bus and gave him a Gospel tract and two books in English. He wented them to help with his English. The books were, "Bruchko" and "Called to Die" (about a Wycliffe Bible Translator martyr). We exchanged e-mails and I will follow-up with him.

When we got to town after an hour long van ride, a man who rode in the van with us showed us to the hotel. The receptionist was clueless as to how to check us "foreigners" in with our passports. The man signified that the police would need to see our passports. He then took out his own identification and signed us into the hotel under his name so we wouldn't have to deal with the police. Very helpful fellow! He wanted us to enjoy the sights in China.

Left the room at 10:30pm and made it back by 12:15am. Distributed approximately 550 tracts. No street lights in town. Mostly Muslim. The door was locked but they eventually opened the gate and door for us. The hotel cost 70 RMB. There was no bus station in town. The closest bus station was an hour away in Hesua. Had to hire a van to take us there.

Left Hezheng at 7:30am for Linxia. Had to get the bus in Hezua. Couldn't get a bus from Hezua to Dongxiang or Linxia. had to take a van. Arrived in Dongxiang at 9:30am.

Dongxiang - Beautiful view from this mountaintop town. Nearly all Muslim. Shopped, checked e-mail and broke our sink!! Distributed approx. 800 tracts. Upon leaving the hotel in the morning, I only got a partial deposit back. The sink cost me $3.00. Left town by getting a ride in a truck along the road at 7:30am.
Took the truck to Lanzhou and then caught a ride in a van to the Lanzhou bus station. No buses to Xiji until 7:00am the next day so we took a bus at 10:30am to a town just south of Xiji. Got another ride from there to Xiji and arrived at 6:00pm after 10 1/2 hours on the road by truck, big bus, small bus and taxi.

Xiji - rather large town with a large Muslim population. Obviously this town doesn't get many white visitors by the looks and stares we get from the locals. Finally made it to our hotel at 8:15pm. We got less than 2 hours sleep when we got up to start our street work. Realizing that our bus ride the next day would be very long again and we would again not get much sleep in the next town, we decided to forego tract distribution in this town so we could get a little sleep. Another team will have to hit Xiji ! At check-out the next morning we had a delay as the police were there already waiting to see us. The officer copied information from our passports and then found a man who spoke some broken english. we were asked where we came from and where we were going. Also asked what we did while in Xiji and why we were there. I told him we were tourists and that we had not left the room since our arrival (the truth). We were told, "Xiji, No Tourists!" we were not welcome there. Before we had time to hail a cab on the street, another policeman asked what we were doing there. Got a cab to the bus station and an express bus for Yinchuan. Then another bus for Shizuishan.

Shizuishan - Arrived at 6:30pm. When we got to the city, we were told that the city name was changed to Huinong qu about two years ago. Distributed over 800 tracts that night. Caught the 8:20am bus in the morning for Alashanzuo.

Alashanzuo - This town has an upper-class shopping district along the main street with expensive stores. Gabriel and I were crumbing lots of dark alleys in an area with much housing. After we had worked for approx. 2 hours, we were heading down an alley when a couple turned into the alley and headed toward us. We turned around and began walking in the opposite direction. The couple followed us out to the main street. we crossed the street and the man began to yell at us. We ignored and after a while crossed the street again. They followed. We jumped in a cab and went 4 or 5 blocks before getting out to continue our work. After about fifteen minutes, we noticed that a cab was slowly following us at a distance. We turned a corner and then down an alley and the cab followed. When we walked past a road obstruction the couple got out of the cab to follow us on foot. We turned down a couple sde streets and then jumped into another cab. As we pulled away, we saw the couple likewise get a cab to continue their pursuit. With a little distance between us, the pursuing cab didn't see us make a U-turn around a corner and head back toward them. We passed them as they were looking around trying to locate us. We directed our driver to our hotel and quickly entered without being seen. 600 tracts were distributed this night.

Zhongwei - Arrived at noon. We tossed tract bundles along the way from the bus window but had very few targets. Those we tossed them to quickly picked them up and read them. Mostly desert on the way to this city. It is a rather big place. The hotel cost 280 RMB. Had to have my temperature taken upon signing into the hotel and was instructed to take it again in the morning due to China's Swine Flu concerns. Distributed approx. 500 tracts that night.

Upon leaving the next morning, we just missed the early bus so had to wait at the station for the 11:30 bus. The ticket office said that there was no bus from Zhongwei to Wuwei which was to be our connecting town so we had to get a us to a different town and then catch a 4;00pm bus to Wuwei. we arrived in Wuwei at 8:00pm. Since we were only half wat to our final destination and were not likely to make it there that night, we got a hotel room in Wuwei with plans to continue on in the morning.

In the morning, we arrived at the small bus station to buy tickets for Zhangye which was to be a tranfer town along the route to our next target town. They refused to sell me tickets despite the fact that a bus was heading there. I went round and round with them but the ticket lady wouldn't budge. They kept showing me a paper about an insurance company in China. I wasn't budging since i didn't want to just be stranded in that town. Eventually a man with one of the buses took 100 RMB from me and gave it to the woman, telling her to sell me the tickets. She tossed the money back. He then took the payment himself and directed me to the bus to bus. From Zhangye we had to take a taxi to Minle.

Minle - Arrived in town at 2:00pm on Nov. 9. Distributed approx. 575 tracts. This was a large town with plenty of dark areas to crumb. Left town on the 10:40 bus for Menyuan after waiting around the station for several hours. The bus taking us to Menyuan was driven by a very sleepy man! I'm glad we made it safely.

Menyuan - Poor town and rather run-down even by China standards. They were not at all used to seeing foreigners. Constantly stared at. Distributed 500 tracts. and left the next morning with Eugene. During our 5 hour drive in his van, we (Gabriel, E........., H....... and I) used up 2,000 tracts as we traveled through hard to reach areas (except by car) including one Buddhist monastery.

Eventually we were dropped off and caught a bus for Guanting.

Guanting - Hotel had no water or heat. The room cost 60 RMB (approx. $8.00). A small oscillating heater took the edge off of the cold as it snowed outside. The bathroom smelled so bad that the door had to be kept shut. The heat could not be run as we slept due to the sparks and noise coming from the electrical outlet that was used to power the heater. The two cups that were given to us to use for making tea melted when the hot water was poured into them. Interesting place. we distributed 200 + tracts in Guanting. It was a rather small town and it was snowing and wet.

Xiahe - 70 tract bundles and booklets were placed in the large monastery and at the doors of the monks quarters. We spent the day with a young monk named Adam. 1,000 monks live in the monastery.

Guanghe - 90% muslim. Rather large town. The bus driver didn't know we wanted to be let off in Guanghe so he drove on through. We had him let us out a couple miles out ofg town and started walking back. Flagged down a passing bus which brought us back to town. Distributed approx. 1,500 tracts all over town. We were followed for a short time so we moved to the opposite end of town to continue our work.

On the next morning we began our long trip home.

All praise to YHWH for a successful trip!

January 2009 to Present - Partial List of Babies Saved Due to Sidewalk Counseling in Richmond Virginia

November 19, 2009

Babies are saved when Christians act like Christians. Get involved. Contact Life and Liberty Ministries at 804-492-9216 or lifeandliberty@juno.com

February 9, 2010 Baby saved at RMCW. A couple stopped as they were leaving the abortuary. They told Mary and Paul that they had come there to have their baby aborted but couldn't go through with it. They were given a baby gift by Mary and they left.

February 3, 2010 Baby saved at RMCW. Mary P. and Paul T. were ministering on the sidewalk.

December 22, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. Denny spoke with a Hispanic woman as she drove into the clinic. She listened and took his literature. She sat in her car for 20 minutes reading the literature. She then got out and walked toward the door of the clinic. I called out to her telling her that this was a place of death and that she knew it was wrong to go in and have her baby killed. She acknowledged that I was right and when I told her again about help available and the CPC, she came back over to me and took more information about the Crisis pregnancy Center. She then left.

December 11, 2009 Paul Trout and Mary Penner arrived at RMCW after one car had already arrived. Soon a man and his daughter came out of the mill. Mary called out to them and they cmae over to talk. The father shared that his other daughter was there for an abortion. He said that he had been praying that the Lord would stop this. He said he was a Christian and that he couldn't stay inside because it felt evil. After talking with him for a while he went back inside and brought his daughter Amelia out to talk with Mary and Paul. She said that she was afraid her husband would leave her and take her 2 year old son if she didn't have an abortion. After a long talk about the consequences of abortion and encouraging her to "trust in the Lord," she finally said, "I'm not going to do it!" She hugged Mary and Paul and her father went inside to get her money back.
A short time later he came out and said that he had told the woman at the desk that his daughter had changed her mind. He was told that he could not get the money but his daughter would have to come back later to get it. He told her, "No, she's my daughter and she's not coming back. What you're doing is evil and you're not getting my daughter or my granddaughter."

As they came past us, they thanked us and said that they could see and hear me preaching from inside the building. They were very happy and looked quite relieved as they said that they were going to let the baby live. HalleluYah! They took Gospel literature and left.

July 23, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. The couple took our literature and went to the CPC. It was closed but the Director of Bethany Christian Services saw them in the building that they share and took them into his office instead. They decided to let the baby live! The Director then drove to the abortion clinic to see who had given the couple information. We will network with him in the future

July 14, 2009 Two babies were saved today at RMCW!

June 24, 2009 As with any other morning at the abortion clinic, you just don't know what is in store. On this morning, I was joined by Sam, little missionary Judah, Lindsey, Gabriel, Faithful and Naomi.

I preached in front as Sam and Lindsey covered the driveway to the clinic. Two abortion bound women arrived and took literature from Sam. The woman said, "my mind is made up" as she passed. Once inside the clinic she read the literature to her husband over the cell phone. They both came to clearly see that it was wrong to kill their child and her husband told her not to do it. She came out and spoke at length with Sam and Lindsey. She then reentered the clinic to talk to her friend who was also scheduled to have her child killed. Her friend also decided to let her child live!

June 12, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. Testimony by Lauren Tyler - "A very great blessing: today at the Richmond abortion mill, I talked with a few ladies, one of which was going in for an abortion, but did not even know that the "procedure" killed the baby and tore him apart. After she took the information we offer she asked me why we called it murder, and when I explained she said "Thank you" and left. Bless the Lord for using such a weak vessel as I for His glory and purpose."

May 27, 2009 One baby saved at RMCW. I spoke with a girl named Lisa as she arrived to have her baby killed. Eventually she left without the abortion. She said that she felt that God was telling her not to do it through our intervention.

May 19, 2009 Two babies saved at RMCW.

May 16,2009 Two babies saved at RMCW. Paul was ministering.

May 12, 2009 Today a car drove into the abortion clinic parking lot with a couple, an older man and a baby girl. Paul and Mary spoke to both of the men as they waited outside of the abortuary. The pregnant woman walked back outside and sat in the car for a while with the windows open. I preached truth to the men and woman, challenging them to do the right thing. As the woman walked back toward the clinic, Mary told her not to go back inside unless she was just going to tell them that she was leaving. She came right back out and got into the car again. As the family pulled past us, the younger man said that the woman had changed her mind and wasn't going to abort her baby. They all seemed greatly relieved. Mary gave the mother a gift bag for the baby who had escaped death.

May 1, 2009 Two couples left RMCW before the killing started. One couple stopped and told Diana and Paul that they had changed their mind.

April 17, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. Diane talked with a young man named Dave. His girlfriend was there for an ultrasound but said they were abortion minded. After talking with Diane, he decided not to consider abortion. Paul shared the Gospel with him. He entered the clinic and after the ultrasound was completed they left. Baby intact!

April 7, 2009 We were blessed to see at least one baby saved from death at RMCW. After Sidewalk Counselors spoke with the abortion bound husband and wife, they changed their mind and decided to let their child live! Initially, the wife was set on having her baby killed while the husband was receptive to our counsel and literature. After some time in the abortuary and discussing the matter with each other, they came back out to speak more with the counselors. By the time they left, they were committed to having the baby.

"Gabe and I just tract bombed in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery.
There are 1,000 monks living at this monastery in Xiahe. Made
friends with a young monk and spent much of the day with his
around town, at our hotel, and in his quarters at the monastery.
His English name is Adam. Lift his up to the Father. I will be
sending him some books when I get back to the states. We have one
more muslim town to invest in tomorrow night. It should be our
biggest night yet. I would appeciate your prayers. Walk in
victory!"

"We crumbed a small town in the snow last night and tonight we
will be crumbing inside a huge Buddhist monastery. Please lift us
up to the Father. Our next town is over 90% muslim. We hope to
hit it hard and heavy"

China Diary Entry #5

November 09, 2009

All has been going well. Two nights ago, Gabriel and I were
crumbing lots of dark alleys in an area with much housing. After
we had worked for approx. 2 hours we walked toward the end of one
of the alleys, a man and woman turned into the end that we were
heading toward. We turned around and headed in the opposite
direction. The couple followed us out to the main street. We
crossed the street and he began to yell at us. We ignored and
after a while crossed to the other side again. They followed. We
jumped in a cab and went about 4 or 5 blocks before getting out to
continue our work. After about ten minutes we noticed that a cab
was slowly following us at a distance. We turned a corner and
then down an alley and the cab followed. We walked past a road
obstruction and the couple got out of the cab to follow us on foot
again. We jumped in another cab and as we pulled away, the couple
jumped into a cab to pursue. With a little distance between us,
the pursuing cab didn't see us do a U-turn around a corner and
head back toward them. We passed them and directed the cab to our
hotel where we quickly hopped out and entered without being
seen.

Please continue to pray!

"Don't you hate it when you go to wash some clothes in the
bathroom sink and the sink falls off of the wall and shatters on
the floor at your feet? Only in China. I think I should forget
the room deposit!"

China Diary entry #3

November 03, 2009

(Nov.1)The children are very curious around us in these
areas. The roads to get here were mostly dirt and rough. We are
far from any "big" cities. It took close to 14 hours through
barren lands to get here. Lots of Yak and sheep being cared for
by real Tibetan cowboys!! Snow capped mountains are close by
also. There is much Spiritual darkness here and Buddhism is
almost exclusively held to. Some of the areas are also Muslim.
Big Mosques and huge Tibetan temples. The air is much thinner
than I'm used to and it causes me to have to breathe deeply all
the time when we are in the higher altidudes. My chest
hurts a bit also due to less oxygen but I can handle it even
though Gabe says that it's because I'm getting old. (I don't think
I'll ever bring him back with me).

( Nov.2) We just arrived in town after a 7 hour bus and van ride.
We left at 6:50am. All is going well.
Shared the Good News with a Tibetan on the bus
who spoke some English. We will stay in touch. I gave his two of
our books to help with his English. He was very happy about it.
One was, "Called To die" about a Martyr from Wycliffe Bible
Translators and the book, "Bruchko". When we finally head home, we
will be very worn out. It looks like we will be crumbing the
night before we leave and then get an early bus back to Xining,
where we will then catch the train (25 hr ride), and when we get
to Beijing, we will immediately get on the plane for the 14 hr
flight to Newark and then get our flight from there to Richmond.
After we sleep for 5 or 6 days, we will share our experiences with
you all.

(Nov. 3) We have a little time today since we arrived in town by 9:30am.
Dongxiang is a mountaintop town with a beautiful view.

This town and our last (Hezheng) are muslim. We will invest and
then move on to another place tomorrow. Please continue to pray for
Gabe and I.

I'm sorry I can't give too many details
in my postings. Every time I get on the internet, I am surrounded
by many curious onlookers seeking too find out what the American
has to say. Many can read some English even though they can't
speak it. The small towns we are crumbing in are without a
Christian presence. Much darkness but much loved by YHWH".

Keep your faith simple and passionate.

It's Oct. 30 and we just arrived in Xining. We will be traveling
to 15 towns over the next 15 days. Grueling work, but we can
sleep and eat when we get back to the States! Please pray for
strength, wisdom and protection.

China Diary, entry #1

October 28, 2009

Hi everyone,

I arrived in Beijing yesterday. Gabe and I were quite tired and were able to get a little sleep. It is now a little after 4:00AM and I am at the small internet room at out hostel trying to take care of some business before it gets crowded. Our plan for today is to catch a train to Xining. It will take 24 hours to get there. Upon our arrival, we'll meet our contact and get one more night's sleep before we begin our viliage to villiage activities. All of our cargo made it in and we are well stocked to cover much ground even after passing 100lbs. off to a friend for our brothers and sisters in China to use. Please pray for us as we are about the Father's business in China. Walk in victory!

Denny

Heading Back To China!

October 25, 2009

It's been a long time since I've sent out a ministry update.

We stay busy sharing the Gospel on the streets and reaching out at the abortion clinics in the Richmond area on a regular basis. Recently LLM joined up with Faithful Soldier School of Evangelism for a short university campus tour in PA. My oldest son Caleb has been with the school for several years now and it was a blessing to be able to spend four days on the street with him.

To keep up to date with the happenings of LLM visit me on my Facebook page. I keep it up-to-date with the latest happenings of LLM.

My 15 year old son Gabriel and I will be flying back to China on Tuesday. We will be reaching out to unreached Muslims and Buddhists in Qinghai and Gansu. Please keep us in prayer during the three weeks that we will be on the street distributing Gospel literature during the overnight hours. We will return on November 17.

"May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering"

The work at the abortuaries continues. Every day is a new battle for the lives of those scheduled to be killed and for the souls of the parents. Please continue to pray for us and the sidewalk counselors who daily give of themselves for the lost and forsaken. There have been many children saved from death since my last newsletter.

Please help keep us on the street to minister on behalf of the children scheduled to be killed. Babies are saved and the Gospel is preached as we daily minister on the streets at the killing centers. If you can't be there, please help those of us who are. One-time gifts or monthly support helps to cover the cost of literature, fuel, vehicle repairs, missionary support (family of thirteen), etc. etc.

Ministry support has dropped down to a trickle since the economy went south. Whether or not you can help us to stay on the street financially, please remember this ministry in your prayers. The Father can still do much with little!

Our online Bookstore, Remnant Books has over 3,900 books in stock. All of the profits from the sale of our books goes back into evangelistic outreaches! Check out our bookstore, buy a book and help fulfill the Great Commission! http://www.remnantbooks.org

We do greatly appreciate all of you who have made it possible for us to stay on the street to minister. We truly are grateful for your prayers and gifts of support.

Thank you. Dennis Green

Gifts of support can also be sent to:

"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?" Proverbs 24:10 -12

"It will not do to say that you have no special call to go to China. With these facts before you and with the command of the Lord Jesus to go and preach the gospel to every creature, you need rather to ascertain whether you have a special call to stay at home."
