Holy Spirit Enters China on a Business Visa

The office of the Reverend has recently been in email contact with Jim who has remained in China the entire week. The office is confirming that after the bizarre incident last week involving N. Korean asylum seekers Reverend Jim decided to put aside all of his current religious duties and campaigning to negotiate with 2 countries to act as possible intermediaries in facilitating the Koreans' release and healthy assimilation into a third host country.

The Reverend saw it as his immediate duty to assist in the resolution of the matter in such a way as to ensure the safety of the "children of God" while providing a quiet face-saving opportunity for the government of the PRC. A participant in the talks (a representative from one of the nations involved) commented on The Reverend's apparent display of verbal pyrotechnics, "We were all taken aback at Jim's disarming charm, compelling presence, and moving diplomacy. I don't think anyone had any idea that he had it in him." The Reverend modestly explained, "I was possessed by the Holy Spirit. It was He who warmed men's hearts with only me as a simple tool to magnify His glory."

Negotiations came to a successful close late Friday night Eastern Standard time, early Saturday morning Beijing time. After the ordeal, Rev. Jim decided to take the opportunity to remain in China to rest a few additional days while visiting a friend in the southern province of Hunan, believed to be living somewhere between the two cities, Changsha and Zhuzhou.

More news to come on the Reverends return as it becomes available.
