<p style="text-align: justify;">On December 30th, China conducted its largest live fire military exercises all around Taiwan. Our first article shares more about this event and the world's response. Pray for peace and protection of the people of Taiwan.<br /> <br /> Our second article is a very touching story of a man born and raised of missionaries in China, whose family was eventually kicked out of China when the Communists took control. In his heart, he was always a Chinese citizen, except that his country of birth would not accept him as such. Read his touching story below.</p>
