Praise the Lord for new believers in Christ

According to a member of the Columbus Chinese Christian Church who is in my exercise class at our church, Upper Arlington Lutheran, they had 26 baptisms on Easter! They serve 1st and 2nd generation Columbus area Chinese Americans and Chinese students at OSU and have services in 3 languages, English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Communist Mao killed about 70 million of his own people—no one really knows for sure how many—but the result of Communists forcing the people of China to standardize their language (everyone now speaks his dialect, Mandarin), the Gospel has been able to be shared much easier. He meant it for evil, but God has used that evil man to bring the Gospel to the Chinese.

This blogger says Cantonese is a dying language.
