This year continues to be a refining year, but also a year of preparation. God has been blessing China Partners richly with connections to various churches and ministries, inviting us to look beyond our local concerns and seek to serve his greater purposes for the whole nation – and ultimately His Kingdom on earth. God is working to bring Chinese, Americans, Canadians and South Africans together for His long-term purposes based on our foundational experiences, structures, values and relationships. China Partners is better trained and connected than ever, poised to pass on and build on what we have learned during the past decade of work in China.
