WECLO UPDATE

New Online Bible Study

Lay missionary, Javed Khan, shared that in 2020 the Chinese church started hosting online Bible classes. These classes were originally limited to a Bible reading and prayer but have now grown to be a more discussion based study. Questions, along with Bible references, are sent out ahead of time in English and Mandarin. Attendees are then encouraged to read, research, and prepare for an engaging online discussion. The Bible Study has so far been very successful!
