The Future of Exodus8one.org and The Gadfly Project
On August 25, 2008, When Eddie Romero realized the Chinese authorities intended to deport him, he raised the subject of reimbursing the hotels for the clean up costs. (The fees for the room had already been paid.)
The authorities were quite specific that Eddie should forget about the costs. He was told that they would be taken care of and to dismiss the issue.
Nevertheless, in order to act rightly, Eddie has sent some money to both hotels to pay for the clean-up costs, and has asked the hotels to let him know if anything more is required. He is also going to pay above & beyond the required amount for the clean-up costs.

The Future of Exodus8one.org and The Gadfly Project
On Wednesday, August 27, 2008, James Mawdsley was interviewed by Bill Welsh of Calvary Chapel Huntington Beach. He shared about his experiences in Burma and how they compare to Eddie Romero’s experience in Beijing for The Gadfly Project. He also talked about how we can interceed on behalf of those who are suffering. This was perfectly illustrated when he said, “If you understand the suffering that those individuals are going through than suddenly it makes sense to want to express solidarity with them; to call for their release, to defend their dignity. And Frankly, it’s crazy not to. If you could live your life with no connection in your heart between you and others, than you’re not alive.”
Please continue to look within the hearts of those who are captive and the oppressed. Continue to search and find ways in which you can support them. Their are many organizations who are already doing this. You can team up with them or if you feel so lead, start something of your own that addresses their needs.
