Stuck in China! Need Prayers!

Post by 尼古拉前执事 »

On my way home on 12 August, I was the victim of a pickpocket. I lost my cell phone, my money, my debit card, my passport, etc. The U.S. Embassy was able to help me get a temporary passport and I now have to wait 7-10 days to get my exit visa and buy new tickets out of China. All with no access to funds and no funds myself. I ask your prayers, as I am really in a pickle here.

Is there any way to get funds to you from North America?

Not any of mine unfortunately. I would have to be issued a new ATM card and go to my bank to get a new PIN, which I cannot do here in China. I cannot even Western Union myself any money from my account unfortunately.

Can you get a replacement copy of your airline ticket?

What about using Moneygram to send you money?

Yes, my brother is getting me a new ticket but it will be a week from now, as I cannot leave until after my exit visa is issued which even in the expedited form takes 7 full days. :-(
