A couple hold hands together facing the sunset. God is not dead in China, and he never will be. He is working his purpose out and giving us some paths to work with him in it in the times we are in.

Pure Joy, Oh My

A foreign tourist at the Great Wall, China. Even with the growing tension that may appear between those in China and the US, the two have never been closer because God has created a powerful connection for me that I believe can never be separated.

A Son’s Gratitude

I planned on pursuing a degree in International Relations and wanted to work for the US Foreign Service or maybe serve at a consulate in China, until something changed my path completely: I was personally called to serve God. I had what I could only describe as a personal revelation, where Christ came to me and asked me to serve him, causing me to immediately switch my major focus from International Relations to Theology.

A woman dancing under the sunlight. We need to go beyond dogma and statements to show and tell in more holistic, contextual and embodied ways. As the apostles declared and displayed Christ through prayer and worship (Acts 4:24; 16:25; Philippians 2:5-10), so can we find unique expressions that are embedded and empowered in our own cultures and tongues.

An image of a man sitting in quiet meditation by the window in a dark room. Shaking, I instinctively knelt down on the floor. I begged, “I’m sorry God, I don’t want to be an evil person and I don’t want power. It’s all rightfully yours. Please don’t end my life right now. I’ll do anything. If you can please just give me another chance, I’ll be good—–I’ll do anything.” The name “Jesus” popped into my head, so I thought about him.

From Darkness to Light

As I reflect on my past, I see that much of my struggle with identity came from trying to reconcile different worlds—my Chinese heritage, my upbringing, and the newfound faith that challenged everything I once believed. In a society where success is often measured by status and power, surrendering to Christ felt like a contradiction. Yet, in that surrender, I found my true identity.

An image of Kowloon City Baptist Church, with the sun shining, located in Hong Kong and established in 1931. The topic of church development must be considered in the spirit of John the Baptist's words, "He must increase, I must decrease." We must recognize that what needs to be developed is the universal church as part of the kingdom movement, not a specific local church or organization.
