Silk Route Hymns

The Spring Festival week following Chinese New Year traditionally reunites individuals with their families in rural hometowns across China. After seventeen years of ministry in Kent, our Chinese community is "home" for many Mainland Chinese scholars who are long-term residents in the United States.

Last week, Hunter and his family returned to celebrate the New Year's Spring Festival with us. Hunter graduated from KSU and then received a graduate degree from CUNY before returning to NE Ohio for his new employment.

By reconnecting to the Kent Chinese Christian Fellowship, this family is putting down roots in their spiritual home, and honoring what God has done in their lives.

Matthew 13:3-8 Jesus told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

We are blessed to see how God has taken the testimony of the Gospel and brought it to life in this family. Thank you for your support that keeps us in the field of service to many Chinese individuals and their families.
