Stories of Christian Families

Christian families in China struggle with how to educate their children. Public school is free, but the curriculum pushes a communist, anti-religious ideology. Other options within China are either extremely expensive, like international schools, or else legally difficult, like homeschooling. In these posts, Helen Wu tells the stories of Christian families who have chosen to send their children to a Christian boarding school outside of China. These families have to make many sacrifices to make this possible, while trusting God in challenging circumstances. We trust that you’ll be inspired by the faith of these families and children and that your own faith will be strengthened.

Through their incredible stories, I can clearly envision a bright future for mission work in China, facilitated by these resilient children. Despite being pushed out of their home country momentarily, God is lighting up the darkness by providing education based on a biblical worldview.
