Hong Kong was our third largest supporting nation last year. Now, they really need our prayers! Recently, at a major Hong Kong sports event, an enterprising youth managed to unplug the mandatory playing of the Chinese National Anthem and insert this song which seems to have captured the hearts of all Hong Kong’ers (see video). While millennials and generation z’ers in the USA are demonstrating for socialism, their counterparts in Hong Kong are putting their lives on the line for freedom, some of them carrying, of all things, American Flags. Yesterday, the first Hong Kong protester was shot by Chinese police. We need to pray. Allow me to give a bit of perspective. In Washington DC in 1862 Julia Ward Howe saw the gleaming bayonets of the tens of thousands of soldiers trained by General George B.McClellan marching down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC. Moved with emotion she penned the words of the ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’ and captured the heart of the nation (see video). Set to the tune of a popular song about abolitionist John Brown, that single song did as much as any army to free slaves in America during a war that cost 600,000 American lives. Pray Hong Kong does not pay that price!
