Prior to entering China, our squad was warned of how much security and restrictian big brother had. For example, for every one computer hacker the USA has, China has 13.
Foringners are highly monotered and it is not uncommon to be followed.
At the boarder crossing our books and belongings were questioned and searched though, one of our leaders had some materials confiscated. Exiting China was more strict, as we were politely interrigated and had our phones looked though.
The only way any non-native can see Tibet is to go on a tour. The tour bus was the most clean and comfortable bus we have had in a while.
But many people experienced some level, if not full blown altitude sickness.
You have to pound water like your wellbeing depends on it. But the views were worth it.
Our mission here, while driving through this montanious, desolate and highly unreached region was prayer.
That is my life mission, but during this week tour that was all we were instructed to do due to circumstances listed above.
Watch my friend Heidis funny video she made of our tour. Click here . I am featured a few times being a goofball.

Its one of the only practicing Budhist areas in China. The rest of mainland is technically non religious.
Lets opperate in the power of Christ together…God is able to free people from Religious duty and opression. He holds the only law that gives freedom. Free Tibet through prayer.
2nd Corinthians 3:
16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
