Dr. Chao with the Lord
DECEMBER 23, 2010
Rev. Dr. Charles Chao (DD, '05) died on December 16, 2010. He was 94 years
old.
From Rev. Dr. Jeff Jue: "It is with both sadness and great hope in the
resurrection that I write to inform you that Dr. Charles Chao was called
home to his Lord on December 16, 2010. He was 94 years old. Dr. Chao was
ordained in the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, and founded
Reformation Translation Fellowship, an organization dedicated to translating
Reformed literature into Chinese. He is also the father of the late
Jonathan Chao. In 2005 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Westminster
Theological Seminary. We give thanks to the Lord for His faithful servant.
Please continue to pray for Mrs. Chao and the rest of the Chao Family."
A memorial service will be held in Southern California on January 8, 2011.
Please join with President Lillback and the Westminster community as we
mourn the loss of this brother.
From the description of his autobiography, Out of the Tiger's Mouth:
Born in 1916, Charles Chao is, in the words of Dr. Loraine Boettner, "a man
of God—with untiring devotion." His life's work has been for China.
Despite persecution from Chinese communists, narrow escapes from prison and
death, Charles Chao has not ceased to translate major Christian works for
his fellow countrymen.
