Firsthand accounts of faith lived out in the context of Chinese Christianity.
Dr. Ireland’s recent lecture has further enriched our understanding, shedding light on the interplay between media, religion, and society—a timely and thought-provoking topic. We delved deeply into Chinese Christian history and explored his unique take on social media.
Their critical contextualization of who belonged in Jesus’s kingdom, who were the real Christians, freed the gospel from ethnic cultural imprisonment, and opened the door to for an all-peoples Church.
People have never been so eager to hear about the gospel because their lives and hopes have never been so damped in the past four decades.
In part two of “God Is on the Move,” we look back at the many ways Chinese believers supported one another and their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I was weeping and mourning and having a hard time accepting where Grandpa is eternally, because I had thought, surely, I would have another chance to share the gospel with him, and had I done that, my grandpa would have had a chance to be saved and reconciled with God through faith in Jesus the Savior.

Even though I have been keenly aware of the immense changes that have taken place in China over the past few years, what I saw and experienced was more was more familiar to me than different.
Pray that the Chinese Gen Z can find their true meaning and identity, that their worth would not in their achievements, but of a higher force.
During the zero-COVID chaos, Chinese churches found hope and resilience, witnessing God's presence amid isolation.
Home and family are very vital topics to a Chinese person, often providing bridges to their heart’s desires and offering a way to present Christ as the way to give a perfect home and family—the home and family found in knowing him.
Hearing the incredible stories from both the children and their parents, I feel I understand why the Chinese church is once again facing severe oppression… This implicit self-exodus happening in China seems to embody God’s mercy and unfailing love. Without this persecution and oppression, we would undoubtedly lose our children forever; under the communist schemes, our children would be brainwashed and become poorly educated rebels against the truth.
A truly “Christian” Chinese church will not only be thoroughly enculturated, but it will also retain the entire “rule of faith” shared by the rest of the universal church. Finally, Chinese Christians, knowing they are part of the universal church, will continue to seek to share the joys and trials of the indigenous churches of all other cultures. Such a church would be biblical, God-pleasing, and truly Chinese.
