A recent group of
immigrants from various areas of China have a desire to study the Bible. I met
the leader of the group, Henry Wang, and his wife Dorcas. The Wangs call
themselves ‘Christians’ but are not members of the church whose facilities they
use for their evening gathering once a week. They invited Bro. John and me to
attend their group evening and offer our insight into the scriptures. It was at
this meeting that we became aware of their desire to study the Bible. The
Chinese immigrants have very limited knowledge of the Bible and a paucity of
material on the scriptures, but their desire to have further insight is a
marvel. They need reading material which will open up the word of the Lord. If
you could offer the book Bible Basics in Chinese and/or further small
pamphlets on the scriptures it would be greatly appreciated. The group is
approximately 10-15 in size. I feel that having some material written in their
language and given into their hand for their personal use could impart the Truth
to this group. It would give the Christadelphians opportunity to reach out to a
body of seekers who badly need direction on the narrow path to the Kingdom.

Comment: They were thrilled
to receive our Chinese literature and we await developments with interest. We
would remind readers that Bible Basics is available in over 50 languages
and we are pleased to help where we can. MH
