HENAN: Yip’s (see picture on left) sharing left a lasting impression on me. She is a young student around 20 years of age, currently studying to be a preacher at Henan Bible School. Her home is a mountainous village where proper roads and transportation are unheard of. She stays a distance away from the church and would have to walk 10km, climbing up and down the mountainous terrains, to attend Sunday service. Her church consists of older people forming almost 50% of the entire congregation. For the elderly members, journeying to church is a daunting one, impossible to be completed within a day. The journey to church begins on the Saturday and their return trip is on the following Monday, since it would be too late to go home after the service on Sunday. Nevertheless, the elderly would faithfully brave the difficult walk week after week. Worshiping God has become more precious and meaningful. I am being reminded that true worship costs.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.” (Psalms 23:1, GNT). Never in all my years as a Christian has this promise been so real to me until I started Bible School training. My name is Ma Liqin and I am 21 years old in 2010. I belong to the ethnic Big Flowery Miao (also known as A-Hmao) group. Most of our people live on the mountains in the northwest Guizhou province of China. My people group is the Miao tribe who has the privilege of getting the entire Bible translated into our native mother tongue in 2009 with the help of the United Bible Societies. According to some estimates, Christianity is the primary religion of my people group forming 80% of the whole population (source: Operations China). I come from a Christian family, every Sunday I join my parents and extended family members to worship God in our village church. In my own small way, I tried to serve fellow believers in the area of hospitality. Read more [...]

“The Lord has done a new thing, a wonderful thing, a great thing!”, declared Rev Dr Cao Shengjie in her sermon at the Thanksgiving Service for the Completion of the 80 millionth Bible held in Nanjing on 8 Nov 2010. Rev Cao is the Co-Chairperson of the Advisory Committee of the Church in China and former President of the China Christian Council. Rev Cao recounted the time of the Cultural Revolution when Bibles were confiscated and destroyed. The Chinese Christians were deprived of their Bibles during those years. She remembered when the Chinese Church leaders gathered for their first Standing Committee meeting after the end of the Cultural Revolution in Shanghai in February 1980, they decided that one of their first urgent and important tasks was to print Bibles to meet the crying needs for the Word of God.
