Support Workers’ Outreach Efforts in China
Christian students invited their roommates and friends to a recent ministry-organized camping trip, and some who agreed to come only attended because of their interest in the event, not because they wanted to learn about Christ. But their fellowship with believers left them wanting to know more about the gospel, and ministry workers have realized the importance of discipleship following such events.
Engage With Non-Believers Through Underground Evangelism in China
In one native ministry’s small group, the pastor speaks in a near-whisper and the people must sing quietly to avoid detection by the authorities. But this fellowship time is invaluable for believers to deepen their relationship with God and each other. It also provides an opportunity to engage with non-believers who want to build friendships with others.
Impact Families Through Bible Studies in China
A native ministry’s Bible studies have impacted the lives of believers who realize the importance of placing God first despite their many other responsibilities. One woman who was overwhelmed with taking care of her young child and her elderly relatives was grateful for the opportunity to study Scripture each week.

A man who spent his life in immoral and abusive activities was diagnosed with a tumor, and while he was in the hospital, members of a local church were his only visitors.

Strengthen Disciples’ Efforts in China
One of the ladies in a women’s Bible study was led to become “humble in the sight of the Lord” through the group’s study of the Gospel of Mark.

Help Send Gospel Hope in China
Through their well-established outreach to students and professionals, workers with one ministry led a successful entrepreneur to Christ. She confessed that, despite her wealth and social status, she struggled with depression and found no lasting help from psychiatric treatments.

Help Support Native Workers in China
Native workers with one ministry conduct a variety of outreaches in the regions to which they have been assigned, reaching multiple demographics through ministry to singles, parents, professionals, athletes, and children. “Because of the specificity and small size of each ministry, it is very easy for outsiders to join in and share a loving relationship with others,” the ministry leader said.
Help Form Steadfast Disciples in China
A native ministry regularly trains workers from different areas to share Christ with ethnic groups in remote areas. At the same time, native missionaries from nine ethnic groups brought Christ to their own people. The gospel also spread as workers brought supplies to mountain villages for orphans and other poor people, while others discipled Christians at newly planted churches.
Share the Hope of Redemption in China
Workers with a local ministry led a shaman to Christ. When he became terminally ill, he sought medical treatment, but nothing helped. Upon hearing about the man’s condition, several missionaries visited him, explained the gospel, and prayed for him. He called them the following day to tell them he was completely healed, and he decided to follow Jesus and throw away his instruments for shamanic rituals.
