Chinese Fellowship Ministry

We have a lovely couple in our church that help in a Friday evening Chinese Bible study. For years they've had someone come in and "babysit" the kids, but as time has gone on, there have been more and more children, and some of them have never heard about Jesus, His love, and His gift of salvation. The burden grew for them to do something for these kids in a formal way. Would there be someone from our church who would be willing to help them get this children's ministry going?

For the past year, I have worked closely with the Lams in developing a solid program implementing Bible songs, crafts, games, and a Bible lesson (complete with visuals) for these sweet children. The Lams have worked with the younger children and I have had a wonderful class of the older kids. It was such rewarding work. China is a "closed country," meaning, it will not allow formal missionaries into the country. However, the mission field of China has come to NH.

After about a year, this ministry is off and running on its own. I was so thankful to have played a small part.
My sister, Steph, was a HUGE help to me in our class!


These two kids didn't speak much English, but were clearly grasping the jist of the Gospel. How exciting!
