Evergreen Bible Study


Not all of KSU’s Chinese students are young undergraduates.  We still have many grad students, visiting scholars and professors on our campus.  Many scholars are married and have children.  If the scholars have children, the grandparents are also likely to live with the family for an extended time. Every year, Alice Koo helps to lead a Bible study for Chinese grandparents who are visiting Kent.  Alice was surprised when I chose the book of Daniel for an evangelistic Bible study.  She knew several grandparents would only be in Kent for a short time, and she wanted to make sure they understood the Gospel.

Reading the first couple chapters of Daniel led to many interesting discussions about God’s providence and the rise and fall of nations.  These people have witnessed great changes in their lifetimes, both in China and around the world.  I was able to engage them about God’s purpose and direction for China, America and for each of us personally.  Alice was overjoyed when all six of the other grandparents made decisions to follow Christ by the end of October.  Three members of this group have recently returned to China.  Please pray that they will get connected with a local body of believers in their home cities and continue to walk in their newly found purpose and meaning in Christ.
