That's a new word --
Colporteur is a peddler of devotional literature, a hawker of books, one who travels to sell or publicize Bibles, religious tracts, etc.
Sounds like
Bibles for America, which is really Witness Lee footnotes for America.
Framingham, MA is near Newton, MA. Aren't Terry Kroft and Silas Wu still there? Terry used to be in London, Ontario many moons ago. They are definitely not LSMers any more, in fact, the church in Cambridge down the road from them, won't talk to them any more. Perhaps Newton is as favorable to Dong Yu Lan as London is. I saw London's website, and the whole church went down to Brazil a few years ago.
Here is a Portuguese language prayer gathering to "
Inaugurate the Bookafe in Framingham." Here's
another video filled with exhortations. They are definitely Local church folks with all the "Amen's." They are also fairly tech savvy in Brazil, since every one seems to be recording the same gathering on a smart phone. This
promotional video in Brazil features all their books and a sampling of available meals. Looks like the Brazilians like their french fries too!
It seems like the marketing outreach arm of the "kingdom of Dong" is far more developed than Witness Lee's or Titus Chu's ever dreamed of, and is now situated to launch their products globally. So it's no wonder the Blendeds had them quarantined.
