As we move forward, seeking God's will and direction for ChinaSource, we hold on to one constant truth and promise—Our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ is advancing his kingdom and fulfilling his Father's will and plan for the ages in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Today and for the next three months, we are engaging the public phase of the campaign with a warm invitation to all of our ChinaSource friends to partner with us in this pivotal moment.
In an era of accelerating change, ChinaSource continues its twenty-eight-year legacy as the vital connection point between China's believers and the worldwide Christian community.
This past year has been extraordinary for ChinaSource—a season marked by remarkable kingdom partnerships and unity that point directly to God’s faithfulness. Reflecting on the milestones of 2024, one phrase captures the essence of this journey: “unprecedented territory.”
Being thankful and saying thank you is important any time of year. Certainly in this Thanksgiving season I want to say thank you to the ChinaSource community for your friendship, love, and sacrificial involvement together with us.
In this issue, we are offered thoughtful articles which provide us with rich draughts of wisdom and experience. We will be drawing from this deep well for some time to come.

And so, we give thanks for you. Whether you are a reader, a writer, an advisor, a financial partner, or a person of prayer, we are grateful for you!
We are privileged to be introduced to men, women, and children who have experienced, and continue to experience, crushing loss through separation and discrimination. We hear their stories of perseverance, courage, and transformation in Christ.
We are grateful to the contributors of the winter ChinaSource Quarterly for providing us the opportunity to be richly informed in such a crucial season. I hope we can all come to this reading as humble learners, challenged to seek, understand, and grow.
