Chinese Christians are no longer absorbed with developing Jesus inside China. They have already succeeded here!
They don't need government acceptance. It's amazing to see a people "content" to be persecuted.
INSTEAD THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE CHINESE CHURCH IS TO SEND OUT MISSIONARIES TO THE WORLD IMMEDIATELY WEST OF THEM!
West of China sits the 10-40 window. This area is known as the poorest, least educated and harshest human rights offenses area of the world. India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudia Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Algeria!!
Chinese church leaders have quietly announced a goal of sending out 1 million missionaries for Jesus over the next 40 years!! Wow! To put that in perspective, currently the world has 500,000 active missionaries. China's plan would triple the number! Glory!!!
I have been sitting around praying for the Chinese government to legalize Christianity. But God's plan is bigger!!! The Chinese tell us "don't worry about us, our church is super strong. We are growing and knowing God better all the time. Instead pray for us to GO! We are ready to bless other nations!!"
As westerners we often equivocate government and social acceptance somehow with spiritual growth. It's actually just the opposite. When the church is persecuted it is the strongest and most pure.
As China rises as a super power it is astounding to watch Jesus grow with it!
Alleluia! Glory to our God...we will be praying for our bother in Christ of china...God's plans are always greater than ours! thanks for sharing Dave! much love to you and your family! Bigtha Rubi.
