And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?<\/p><cite>Romans 10:14<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGo tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born!\u201d The words we normally sing during the Christmas season ring truer today as much as ever. Monterey Park Chinese Baptist Church is a \u201cSouthern Baptist\u201d Church, and Southern Baptists have been \u201ctelling\u201d the good news of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, for over 175 years though it\u2019s missionary arm, the International Mission Board(formally known as the Foreign Mission Board). In fact, Southern Baptists chose China as their first foreign mission field, and Samuel C. Clopton was appointed as the first missionary in 1845. He served in China less than a year before dying from illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IMB\u2019s history continues, and its strategies to reach the world change as the world changes. What has not changed is the strong commitment of Southern Baptists to join the Author of history in his redemptive movement to advance his gospel among all peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us this Sunday, November 29th at 11: 15 (PST) as we hear from my good friend John, with whom I served on the mission field in years past.
