This app is from 福音之家 (Gospel Home) the St Helen's Mandarin-Speaking Congregation, based in London, UK. Its main function is to download and listen to recent sermons, which we hope will encourage Mandarin-speaking brothers and sisters all over the world - though we hope not as a substitute to listening to God's Word in your own local church. Members will also appreciate being able to view the prayer diary and calendar.
