Description
Annotation translation: "In August 1928 the congregation of the Basel Mission station Kutschuk in South China was richly blessed by the work of a chinese evangelist. There was a great hunger for the word of God. In a short while $200-worth of bibles were wold, and keenly read. The hunger for the gospel has continued. The current pastor, Ku meu tschan, uses all his energy to run bible studies, prayer meetings, evangelisation for non-christians, and services in the houses of the christians, so that the new life in the congregation may be maintained. Our picture shows the pastor with his whole family." Annotation: "Im August des Jahres 1928 wurde die Gemeinde der Basler Missionsstation Kutschuk in Südchina durch die Arbeit eines chinesischen Evangelisten reich gesegnet. Vor allem entstand ein grosses Fragen nach Gottes Wort. In kurzer Zeit wurden für über 200 Dollar Bibeln gekauft und fortan eifrig gelesen. Der Hunger nach dem Evangelium hat bis heute angehalten. Der jetzige Pfarrer der Gemeinde, Ku meu tshan, setzt seine ganze Kraft ein, um durch Bibelstunden und Gebetsversammlungen, Heidenpredigt und Hausgottesdienste das neuerweckte Leben der Gemeinde zu erhalten. Unser Bild zeigt den Pfarrer mit seiner ganzen Familie."
