the hope around Yi Jien
Yi Jien is still missing. The latest email I received written by Aunty Kim Guat was to ask all of us to fast and pray for Yi Jien!. Our cries are for God because He is the only one who can help Yi Jien now! I come across a lot of articles regarding Yi Jien’s case. Can you see the blessing beneath all these? Well, everyone around the world (maybe not everyone and not around the world) knows about Yi Jien. When Yi Jien comes out alive,his precious encounter wid The One can be a great testimony. The great effort to survive with the help from above can do so many things! He is alone to our eyes but actually he is not. He is with him!
And so, my friends…
The little support from each one of us means something. The prayer and petition to God Almighty!
Only He can bring miracles into this world which we are passing by.
Only He can rises the sun in us when the night creeps into us.
Only He can understand the pain of ours and heals all of them according to His own might.
Only He can… Only He can… Only He can…
Only He can rescue Yi Jien now…
Karcy shared with us :
I have a few additional updates about Yi Jien’s case. No clue about his location, but just some things that I feel need to be shared.
1. While I was praying today, begging for God to give any glimmer of hope, any indication for Yi Jien’s situation, I was directed to this Bible verse in my reading. As most of you know, I’m not exactly the fastest to jump to conclusions about flipping Bibles open and grabbing verses, but it’s something worth hanging on to, and reminding ourselves.
1 John 5.14-15 — New Revised Standard Version
And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.
The first letter of John is addressed to the early Church regarding er, quite a number of things. In the typical way that John writes, it covers a lot of spiritual matters (I still struggle with the Gospel of John). But I can understand what he’s trying to get at here.

As you can see, God spoke to Karcy. From what she shared, she has never always the one who jumps to the verses. She reminded us that this is something we should be remindful of. God is working and He’ll never stop because we are precious in His eyes.
The song I sang in Sunday School popped up into my mind :
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world; Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in his sight; Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Jesus died for all the children,
All the children of the world; Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in his sight; Jesus died for the little children of the world.
Jesus rose for all the children,
All the children of the world; Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in his sight; Jesus arose the little children of the world.
Jesus wants the little children,
To be careful what they do; Honor father, mother dear
Keep their hearts so full of cheer; Then he’ll take them home to glory by and by.
.
I also come across Su Yin’s letter.
Dear all,
Thanks for all your love and care through your faithful prayers. I have received many of your mails and they really comfort my heart and put my hope in God through Jesus Christ. (with thankful tears)……….
…………………. Pray for God’s mercy and love to strengthen our hearts and keep trusting in Him. Please continue to pray unceasingly.

What’s different about Hwa? Apparently he is prepared with gear and supplies for his arduous trip. He applied for his backcountry permit, left a complete itinerary, and an anticipated return date. We’re always told, never to hike alone especially in grizzly country and my mind wonders, “Where is he?” He’s been gone so long now.
On our visit to the park last Saturday, I was painfully aware of his missing. Posters identified him and asked for any information to his location. Helicopters flew abnormally low in the park, breaking the quiet as they repeatedly searched for Hwa’s whereabouts. Having hiked with my family on some of the trails he was scheduled to take, I imagined other hikers would have found him by now if he was only injured and weak on the side of the trail. He seems to have vanished. Rescue efforts have been concentrating on the first leg of his journey, so it’s presumed he may have gotten into trouble early on. Did he slip on ice or break through a snow bridge? Could he have tumbled down a scree slope, startled a grizzly and been dragged away? Has he tried to signal, to no avail? With no cell service in the park, did he pack a whistle? Will these questions ever be answered?

And so my friends, let us join our palms together and pray for Yi Jien. The search is still on. And so our hope in God! Let the flame keeps burning.
God worked, works and is still working in our everyday lives.
Stand strong as He stands with us…
