OI China PRAYER LETTER December 2012
"Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” ~ Psalm 103: 1- 5 (NIV)
OI China thanks Mr Dick Jelinek, Board Director of OI China, and his wife Bonnie for their kind donation of 43 computers, including server, PCs and notebooks to upgrade our office equipment. The staff overjoyed and is grateful of their love and generosity. Thanks to God for all the kind loving support of donors of OI China like Mr and Mrs Jelinek.
