New Mexico State University is located in the city of Las Cruces in the state of New Mexico. It is a major public, and research university. Chinese students and Chinese scholars average 150 in attendance each semester. Currently it has 12 Chinese professors in different fields.

新墨西哥州立大学坐落在该州的城市拉斯克鲁塞斯的新墨西哥州。这是一个综合性的公共和研究型大学。中国学生和中国学者平均人数为150人每个学期。目前它有12个中国教授在不同的领域教职。

In this college environment, our church started a home bible study at one of the Chinese student’s home. It was in September of 1991. After one month, attendance ballooned to ten. We needed more space and with the help of the Baptist Student Union the Bible study group moved to the Baptist Student Union building on campus.

在这个学院的环境中，我们的教会开始了家庭圣经学习在一个中国学生的家。那是在1991年九月。一个月以后，出席人数激增至10人。我们需要更多的空间，并与浸信学生团契的帮助下，圣经研究小组搬到了校园浸信学生团契会大楼。

In the spring of 1992, we started harvest; five students were baptized into our church. We have many students accepted Christ as their personal savior. Highest attendance at the bible study group was over 60. This is not only students but family and children as well. Through the years 40 students were baptized and many accepted Jesus Christ as their personal saviors but were afraid to make a public confession since they will be persecuted once they return to China.

在1992年的春天，我们开始收获;五名学生，是受洗归入我们的教会。我们有很多学生接受基督为个人的救主。出席率最高的圣经学习小组是超过60个人。这不仅是学生，还有家庭和孩子。通过几年的时间，40名学生进行了受洗，许多人接受耶稣基督为他们的个人救主，但不敢作出公开供认，因为他们怕一旦他们回到中国会受到迫害。

Beside bible studies, guest speakers were periodically invited to speak and give their testimonies. They are from various age groups. This showed to the students that God’s Blessing covers all ages and groups. At the beginning of each semester, we will have a welcome party for the new students and friends. Average attendance for the event was over 100. We can see the good news, because we really want to serve him and raise Jesus Christ in the air.

除了圣经研究，演讲嘉宾进行了定期邀请发言，并给他们的证词。他们来自不同的年龄组。这表明上帝的福音涵盖了所有年龄段和群体。在每个学期的开始，我们将有一个欢迎晚会为新同学和朋友。平均出席率为超过100个人，我们可以看到一个好消息，因为我们真的想为他们服务，提高耶稣基督福音的传播。

NMSU is not a large university. Chinese student mobility is very high. In one or two years we can see many new faces. Even though this is a problem, but God always provided students to be minister.

新墨西哥州立大学不是一所很大的大学。中国学生的流动性是非常高的。在一两年内，我们可以看到许多新面孔。尽管这是一个问题，但上帝总是提供学生成长的传道人。

As you can see, the bible study group continue to grow in numbers as well as grow in the Spiritual education. Tuesday begins a prayer meeting with co-workers. Sunday worship Service at local Calvary Baptist Church started in 1994 for the students and family. We can see the spark of the gospel started burning and the saved added to this group.

正如你所看到的，圣经研究组继续在数量上的增长，以及成长在精神的教育。周二开始与同事祈祷会。主日崇拜服务于当地的其他浸信会在1994年开始为学生和家庭。我们可以看到福音的火花开始燃烧，并保存添加到该组。
 

Currently there are 3 bible classes being offered every Friday night meeting. One class for children. One class is being taught in English and one class in Chinese.

目前有3个查经班所提供每周五晚上的会议。一个是儿童班。一个是英语班和一个中国班。

We thank God that He can do wonders; He can change lazy children to construct vineyards so that we can work in, changed lives, even though we have little strength to learn to keep His truth. Never forsake His door to open the gate of Heaven to allow many to go in. In this the 50th anniversary of our church, we Thank God we can do His Fight for Him.   

我们感谢神，他能创造奇迹;他可以改变懒散的孩子建造的葡萄园，使我们可以在工作中，改变生活，就算我们有一点力量要学会保持祂的真理。从来没有离弃他的门打开天堂之门，让许多人进去的。在我们的教会这个50周年之际，我们感谢上帝，我们可以做他的仆人。为祂争取吧。
