I try not to post to many of these testimonies online as it is not really as safe as I would like to think to do so but this was just to amazing to not.
Today God has allowed me to stretch my faith a little bit more I filled a cardboard air conditioner box with 100 bibles and tried to walk through the boarder. Mainly we take about 50 – 75 bibles in one shot but today God was stretching my faith. We walked up to customs and past the scanner together the customs eyed us off for a while but didn’t stop us from walking by into China then came the tricky part, the box was to heavy to physically lift into a taxi, at first we tried to go into a toilet block so that we would not be seen whiles changing from a box to a 3 empty back packs that we had brought along with us, how ever we were being watched as you would assume would happen when 2 white people try to go into the same squatter toilet at once with a giant box, next we tried to pick it up into a taxi but could not lift it a had to give up. After a few more minutes hunting we found a deserted toilet block with no lights and a lock on the door. So we started to unload the bibles, then suddenly a guy walked in apparently the lock on the door was not working we quickly jumped up and pretended to be going toilette as soon as he was gone we quickly pushed the rest of the books into bags and got out of that cubical by that stage we ashamed that the PBS (state police) had been told of 2 white people acting suspiciously in the toilet so we moved as quickly as possible towards the Taxi stand then came the next problem there was no escalator going down so we had no way of getting away in a Taxi!! We quickly found a white man and asked him if he could carry some of our bags for us down the stairs (white people don’t charge or report you to PBS) Finally we got into the Taxi. When we got to the drop off point 2 communist guards were weighting to help us unload our bags! We tried to laugh a lot when they commented on how heavy the bags were. As soon as we could we got to the drop of point and collapsed, it truly was the day I nearly got caught in China twice. That day we got 200 books across the boarder praise the Lord.
