We had another busy and exciting day here in Nanjing.
After breakfast and morning worship, we attended the graduation service for the Jiangsu Bible School. Twenty-six young men and women received their degree to work in the church and other church-related organizations. Along with an RAB (Bureau of Religious Affairs) official and the head of the Jiangsu TSPM (Three Self Patriot Movement), our own Peter Lim was asked to share some words of wisdom with the new graduates. It was an inspiring and moving service enjoyed by all.
After lunch, we headed to the new location of the Amity Foundation Press. The massive scale of the operation blew us all away. Besides printing up to four million Chinese Bibles a year, the Press also prints around 8 million more Bibles in Spanish, Russian, Swedish, nine Chinese minority dialects, Portuguese, a plethora of African languages and many, many others. We were able to observe the process of printing from blank paper to completed book and browse around the compound throughout the process. It was truly amazing to imagine the impact that this press has had in its roughly twenty years of existence!
Following supper, we finished the day pondering the love that God has for us and all of God’s creation. We celebrated the bonds that God has established between us and our Chinese friends. And we had a time of group prayer in both languages.
We look forward to more opportunities to share in the universal love of Christ as we continue our adventures tomorrow.
