One 17 year-old girl from a rural area in Shaanxi province did not even know how to hold a pen, let alone write her name. Another elderly lady had problems knowing which public restroom to go into as she could not read the Chinese character for “male” and “female” written on the door of the cubicle. These real-life stories told to us by 24 year-old Bible School student Meng Juan were just some of many reasons why it was expedient to run a Scripture Literacy class at the local church. ]]> http://www.ubscp.org/china-bible-literacy-classes/feed/ 0
