THE CITY THAT ONCE KNEW GOD
(The city that once knew God)

I landed at centre Asia at half followed by an hour.As Ben hinted. As he talked into me while the cab man alighted to kiss a cup of tea few grocery away. I could see the anxiety all over him  as he narrated how tens of thousands  of missionaries were been slaughtered in a city that once knew God.And a refill was needed to strengthen the faith of those left in hands. Haven't said that, I watched steadfastly towards the high hill and could see an inscription (The city of  gods) this  act were synonymous in Apostle Paul epic in (Acts 17:16–34.). Is this what they died for? I mumbled, as Ben bow  his kneels for prayers. I was drawn  towards the volumes of  accolade, I once consumed.The war in heaven, The gate of life and death, Why men slept, The eyes of Darkness  and more so. Still couldn't come to terms while precious souls could long for danmation intently .Then Ben unfolded  the story of the first missionary sent to Asia Saint Francis Xavier, who is the first Christian missionary in Islands of Maluku in 16th century during Portuguese exploration around Asia. Francis Xavier died on December 3, 1552, of fever. Seeking to expand his missionary work, he died on the island of Sancian (now Shang-ch'uan Tao, off the Chinese coast) while trying to gain entrance to China, which was then closed to foreigners.The following day, we came to  Jengish Chokusu, the highest mountain in the Tian Shan mountain system. This was made  possible by the host community's as prayers alters were erated to communed with the twelve gates of heaven (The only true God). After the lengthen rituals we retired for "The dawn of civilization"  hoping for better tomorrow in Asia commitment towards missionaries.
