Happy Thanksgiving and upcoming Merry Christmas from IRI!
We have had a lot going on in the last two months, and this is-
sue of our newsletter reflects the amazing things we have been
able to see and do in Hong Kong and the Philippines. We had
so much to talk about, we ran out of room in our regular format,
so we hope you enjoy the extra-length edition of our newsletter
this month. Believe it or not, this still doesn’t cover everything,
but hopefully we can include some additional information in our
next editions, as well. Have a blessed Christmas and a happy
New Year!
Hi again from Hong Kong. As you know from our last Newsletter, I have been work-
ing in and around the Hong Kong area. Like all large cities, Hong Kong has many
sub-communities that make up what the world understands as Hong Kong. I have
been living in what is known as the New Territory area. Just outside of the subdivi-
sion of Fairview Park. This is a great place to stay as it has easy to access transport
to get to the different locations around the Hong Kong area where we are working.
Hong Kong I have been working with Linda Smyth, training her on understanding IRI’s programs.
Linda has adapted the ABC workshop into her
woman’s bible study and the results have been
exciting. I have been holding training work-
shops at Fairview Park Christian Church 2 to 3
times a week and at a Chinese Church in an-
other part of the city once a week. The partici-
pants of this training develop a deeper perspec-
tive of the scriptures and their personal rela-
tionship with Jesus Christ. They all have de-
veloped a direct identity with themselves for
the first time in their life. The single biggest
discovery we have had here is that same one
we keep having else where. This is the fact that people here, for whatever reason,
have not developed their self empowered tools to develop their own ideas or concepts.
The result is them seeing themselves in an indirect identity. Again, ABC thinking
training starts the transformation process for people to build a relationship with them-
selves, Christ, Community, and world.
Jason and Kitty continue to work with the Hong Kong school system. The education
system there has experienced several changes that are causing concern among the
teachers. One is a shift in educational style from rote learning to abstract thinking and
problem solving. The other is adding SEN students (students with special educational
needs) to the “regular” classrooms. These two changes have a lot to do with changing
perspective (to conceptual thinking!) and building relationships. Kitty has asked Jason
to help her bring IRI’s ideas to the educational community. She and Jason believe that

Please continue to pray for the growth of those in Hong Kong, Philippines, Myanmar, and
Mozambique. Please pray for Al and Jason as they travel in the coming months. Pray for Leonard, Paulino, Jose’, George, and Tito as the Country of Mozambique is still in
Political Unrest. Pray for Kitty Ho and Linda in Hong Kong as they develops contacts & initiates opportunities
for development. Please pray for the extra travel funding necessary as opportunities open around the world.
