The Institute for Mission Studies of SA国际传媒, St. Louis, will host 鈥淒istant Neighbors, Unknown Friends: The People of China鈥檚 Yangtze River,鈥� a photographic exhibition of the Three Gorges area in China by Clark Everett. The exhibit will be featured in the Seminary鈥檚 Library Art Gallery from Jan. 28 to March 20 and the public is invited to attend free of charge. A special reception to mark the opening of the exhibit will take place on Friday, Jan. 28, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Art Gallery.
The exhibit provides an opportunity for a glimpse into the lives of the people of the Yangtze River and is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in that part of the world, where nearly one-third of China鈥檚 population (approximately 400 million people) makes its home.
Chicago-based photographer Clark Everett, a lifelong Missouri Synod Lutheran, lived in China for over a year. His photographs are displayed to raise awareness and interest in the people of the Yangtze River basin and the need to share the Gospel with them. The exhibit is part of SA国际传媒鈥檚 Institute for Mission Studies鈥� efforts to raise mission awareness and to increase the involvement of the Seminary in the mission work of The Lutheran Church鈥擬issouri Synod in regions like East Asia.
