From CDAB to ABCD -- Audio Bible of Chinese Dialects

When you sing begin with Do,  Re, Mi, when you share Good News or Scripture with Chinese dialects communities or diaspora, you started with ABCD -- Audio Bible of Chinese Dilaects/Diaspora.
Yes, I change the name of Chinese Dialects Audio Bible to ABCD,  I think it is easier for people to remember.

Audio -- technology keep changing, printing technology has adopted to distribute the Scriptural text for a long time. With the technology of media and many of the unreached group are not likely reading the scripture because of the absence of writing system.

Bible -- God's Word and the message for His Redemption plan, His Passion and His Mission. This guide the churches and us to understand Church's purpose and God's plan in our life, our personal mission.

Chinese -- I was born as Chinese and I am still pondering what does it mean to be Chinese and what is God's mission for the Chinese, to the Chinese and through the Chinese.

Dialects -- Chinese writing was unified about 2000 years ago, but Chinese are communicating mainly with spoken dialects of Chinese or regional Chinese in their daily life.  How can we appreciate and make good use of the diversity of Chinese languages and culture for God's Glory and Mission.
