We’ve written quite a few posts (or linked to other news stories) on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-days in China which include the following: expatriate Mormons in China, LDS Beijing Branch, and similarities between the Hong Kong temple and future Philadelphia Temple. We want to add this post of the dedicatory prayer of China offered by Elder David O. McKay [...]

Filed under Mormon Asia
We’ve commented on the LDS Chinese branches, such as the Mormon Beijing Branch, expatriate members and the LDS Church in mainland China previously. In addition, the LDS Church News just published another story further detailing the presence of expatriate LDS members and the groundwork they seem to be laying for a future LDS church presence in mainland China. How exciting to see and read [...]

I came across this article a couple weeks ago over at Mormon Times but didn’t have time to share it.
It’s about an expatriate branch in Beijing, China that has recently been split due to growth. The Lord continues to prepare the enormous land of China for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

I wanted to point out an article I recently read in The National Post dealing with Christianity in Egypt and the persectuion Christians are facing in that country.

Rome, Italy
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Calgary, Alberta
Greater Kansas City Area
Very exciting news for all church members and even more so for temple-fanatics like myself. Interesting that he would say “greater Kansas city” area instead of Independence so that people don’t [...]

R.M. meets President of China

Filed under Mormon Asia
Seeing that I recently posted about Christianity in China, I found an article over at Mormon Times about a returned missionary that was given the oportunity to meet with the President of China very intersting. It is a shorter article so if you have a few minutes it’s worth a quick read.
Similiar to my post [...]
