For years I have asked people involved in China ministry what the greatest needs are. Both locals and foreigners have concurred that we need to focus on helping the house churches in their
ministry to the people in the churches and around them. "Teachers teaching teachers" is the common cry. Of course, there is a shortage of Christian materials: books, DVDs, etc. If we can empower the house
churches as they disciple their many new members, if we can help them as they evangelize the people around them, we are partnering with a vast network of people serving the Lord to the fullest. By helping them,
we are building local churches and furthering indigenization. |
