As Chinese society changes and as we ourselves grow, we are better understanding our role as outsiders ministering to the culture, especially the significance of using our work to serve the local church that God himself has raised up. What God has done in the Chinese church is a story of miracle upon miracle, charged by the faith of people tested under great pressure and persecution, which continues to this day. From mega-cities to the poorest villages, in schools and in the government, Chinese Christians are transforming their nation, having themselves been birthed by a movement of the Holy Spirit so bright that we should be called blind if we were to ignore – or worse, avoid – its light. The Chinese church is far from perfect, but it is His beloved bride worthy of our attention, devotion and rejoicing.
