From September 16th to 20th, I, a 71 year-old, had the privilege of participating in a Bible Distribution Trip to China organized by the Bible Society of Singapore. Our mission was to distribute Bibles to various churches in the Yunnan mountainous area in China. Although our mission was tough, our work was a journey where we experienced God’s Grace daily. A brother-in-Christ asked me, “What were your thoughts on the trip?” My reply was, ‘I received much more than what I gave!” We went to Zhaotong City which was located in the heart of the northern Yunnan plateau, a gathering place for the Miao minority group. The Miao people lived in shabby houses where water and electricity are scarce. Read more [...]

Bible Medic van up a muddy road to a Miao village church.

Up and up, the van pushed itself onwards, on a narrow, windy mud-path. It has been traveling on the road for more than an hour since leaving Kunming City, and then up a muddy mountainous trek for another 1 hour before arriving at its final destination –Gospel Church, a remote Miao (ethnic group) village church at Lu Feng County in Yunnan Province. This was no ordinary van in China. This was a Bible Medical van, the fourth Bible Medical van donated by United Bible Societies through China Christian Council/TSPM, carrying onboard Bibles for the ethnic minorities living in rural parts of China. The van was also equipped with basic medical equipment for the volunteer doctors travelling with the van to carry out medical check-up and tests for the villagers. Read more [...]

“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 [...]
