28 year-old backroom operations and sales worker Yu Kai, shares about the heart of service, love, fellowship, outreach and her personal thoughts about what Christmas meant to her. In the following text, Yu recounts how Christmas was celebrated by a small church congregation in the outskirts of Beijing City. “Like many young people in China, I left home and traveled a long way for work, from Anhui province to the outskirts of Beijing City.

Beijing city and Hebei province would probably be the two most popular places in China where many Chinese Catholics reside. We visited these two places where some of the 200,000 Bibles and 800,000 New Testaments supported by the United Bible Societies (UBS) and the Taize Community were distributed. These Bibles and New Testaments were published and distributed by the Catholic Church in China nationwide.

We met four ladies (see photo) in Hebei province, reading the Bible donated from UBS and the Taize Community. Three of them now own a Bible for the first time; all received free owing to the generosity of our donors. Not all the ladies can read Chinese. During Mass, the lady in the group who can read will read God’s Word aloud. Now, with their own Bible copies, all the ladies said they could practice reading God’s Word at home with their children or grandchildren. One of the ladies (first left in photo) who cannot read said she liked listening and learning. When she got the Bible, she began learning the Chinese characters because she wanted to be able to read the Bible on her own soon. To say that she is very happy now that she has her own Bible would be an understatement. Read more [...]
