The Chinese of the . . . Caribbean?

From the IMB CompassionNet Daily Prayer

In every Caribbean island or country, Chinese live and labor. Last March, an IMB representative led a Chinese mission team to explore two Caribbean islands. In both places, the team was asked the same question the first night: “What should I do to become a Christian?” Chinese are thirsty to know the Lord. Many Chinese in the region are reading Jehovah Witness literature in Chinese. Please pray that at least one Chinese church can be planted on every Caribbean island. In addition, a bilingual Chinese/Spanish Bible is needed in all Spanish-speaking countries. Praise the Lord that a Bible society in Canada is undertaking the project to publish such a Bible. Pray that this Bible will be completed this year. Pray for missionaries Paul and Aurore Trinh as they lead Chinese believers living in the Dominican Republic to accept the challenge to send mission teams to minister to Chinese living on Caribbean islands.
