TACOMA — A celebration of the ministry of chinaconnect drew 100 well-wishers to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church of Tacoma on April 21, where they donated hundreds of dollars to help support the group that works in and around Nanchang, China.
Accompanying Executive Director the Rev. Steve Ray was longtime associate David Du, China director of the organization. Du helps with arrangements for groups Ray regularly brings over. Ray later in the week introduced Du to synod Global Mission Committee members.
Chinaconnect nurtures one-to-one relationship with English-language teaching opportunities, service projects, health assistance and youth exchanges to share Christ's love. A dream is to establish a coffee shop and English-language club in Nanchang.
Two opportunities have been announced for 2013. Persons interested in teaching English can take part in a trip to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, from July 30 to July 29 with trips afterward to Xian and Lhasa, Tibet. Trips for youth that includes a culture and service project in Nanchang will be from July 10 to July 25, and from July 24 to Aug. 8.
To learn more, contact Ray at 253-225-5989 or sray@chinaconnectonline.org.
