Firsthand accounts of faith lived out in the context of Chinese Christianity.
In a recent post on Chinese Church Voices, a college professor who is a Christian contrasted his own life in China with that experienced by his father. His portrait of these two generations finds interesting parallels in the leadership of China'S church.
At the Desiring God Conference for Pastors in Minneapolis last week, conference host John Piper spoke on the life of Hudson Taylor in a message titled, "The Ministry of Hudson Taylor as Life in Christ."
A Chinese Christian reflects on his father's and his own youth, and looks ahead to the future of his young son.

This article looks at a few key events in the life of Victor Plymire, a pioneer missionary to Tibet in the early 20th century.

This is not the Mao Era.

So here I am, eggnog latte in hand, seated in one of the ubiquitous branches of an internationally branded coffee chain. The city is not important. This could be Hong Kong or Beijing, New York or London. The festive holiday decor would be the same anywhere, along with the exhortations to "Create Wonder" and "Share Joy" stenciled on the front window.
