Mark 12

I read Mark 12: 28-34 yesterday morning and was really gladdened by those words.  I hope you can take a look too and pray with us that the Lord will move Uyghurs like he moved that one scribe.   The passages says that this scribe could see that Jesus answered well (the discussion, debate between Jesus and other Sadducees) and then, at the end, Jesus said that he answered Jesus' question wisely and that he was "not far from the kingdom of God."

I wish this account didn't end there.  I wish verse 34 was followed by a verse 35 that shares about the wild welcome of this scribe and his whole family, his whole town coming to Christ.  It doesn't say it there in Mark, but we can pray that it would be written in the lives of Uyghurs in China-  that many would not be far, and that they would even enter into the kingdom of God through Christ and that there would be great rejoicing and widespread turning to Christ among the Uyghurs of China.
