NCMF - East meets West at St John's 中西福音交流

I found Nashville Chinese Music Fellowship (NCMF) 纳城音乐团契 in 2011. We are a group of Christians from the various Chinese churches in the Greater Nashville area. Even though we are not professionals, we have the fire in our heart to do something for Christ. The goal is to reach out to the Chinese communities and preach the gospel through music. We held about 3-4 events a year at different venues and we received quite a bit of attention in the community. Unfortunately, I decided to close the fellowship a few years later due to everyone's busy schedule and the decline in membership. Even though we are not singing as a group, I still sing in the community events such as Chinese New Year celebrations etc. For the group, I have saved all the artifacts - music sheets, binders, pictures, press release copies and the songs that I wrote for the group. I enjoy the group, people and programs thoroughly. It will always be in my heart.

We did the concert at St John's Lutheran two years ago while I was living in Donelson. I introduced the Chinese contemporary hymns to SJ's congregation. First we had Chinese adults sing a few Chinese hymns and folk songs, then the Chinese kids sing "Jesus loves me this I know" in Chinese and the Americans joined the chorus in English. In the last session, the Chinese joined the band singing the American southern gospel songs in English. We all had a blast!
