From the Golden Shore

This morning's session of the Myanmar Baptist Convention's Judson Bicentennial celebration was concluded by a choir from Christ's Church - Ahlone singing a song commemorating the Judson mission that calls on Myanmar Christians to carry the light of Christ from the Golden Shore to all the world. It was quite moving. Especially for those of us who recall a Judson biography entitled: "To the Golden Shore."  When the Judsons arrived in 1813 in what is now known as Myanmar, it was called "the Golden Kingdom." Two centuries later, largely because of the persecution of ethnic minorities within Myanmar, tens of thousands of Christians have fled from this nation to nations around the world. Wherever they have settled, these Christians from Myanmar have carried the good news of God's grace in Jesus Christ.  They have been a wave of missionaries sent from the Golden Shore to the nations.  Here's a brief clip of the choir singing.
