What is the most important election this year?

Maybe it is not Obama vs Romney??? A Bigger election is happening in China within its Communist Party.

They will put in place new leader that will lead their party for the next decade! 2 and 1/2 US Presidential terms.

Dr. David Aikman addressed our group this week. He began his reporting career with TIME Magazine in 1971. In 23 years he reported from five continents and more than 55 countries, and wrote three consecutive Man of the Year cover stories. As a TIME Magazine Senior Correspondent and foreign correspondent, he interviewed numerous major world figures, from Mother Teresa to Manuel Noriega, from Alexander Solzhenitsyn to Pham Van Dong, from Boris Yeltsin to Billy Graham. Dr. Aikman was assigned to bureaus in Hong Kong, from where he covered the entire Asian region; in Beijing, China; in Berlin, Germany, where he covered all of Eastern Europe; and in Jerusalem, Israel, where he covered the entire Middle East. He was bureau chief in Berlin, Jerusalem and Beijing before returning to the United States to cover the State Department until his departure in 1994 to devote his time to writing his 10 books.

Here are some of his shavings:

V By 2040-50 China should be equal in military size to America!

V By 2050 China will be Christianized. At least 25 % really committed Christian believers. Look at what happened to S. Korea once it became 25 % Christian. Huge consequences. Today S Korea over 30 % & growing.

V This current election is about continuation of Deng Xiaoping Reform allowing more freedoms & capitalism vs a contraction and move backward. Possibly even to fascism. BIG DEAL!

V There is no Supreme Court in China. The highest law of the land is actually the Communist Party. Politics and corruption affect law more than laws and rights.

V China has a huge HUMAN RIGHTS DEBATE going on. We l know that. But, believe it or not this debate is rooted in Christianity and Jesus teachings. At its root the traction of this political debate has the same roots and power it had in the West. Where is the moral center? Jesus!

V Amazingly YWAM claims that their are more Christians today in China than their are communists! Remember, only a small percentage of the population is actually in the preferred class of the Communist Party! Over 100 million Christians in China today! Somebody say GLORY! (thanks Bernie :-)
