At a Glance

  • Fastest growing church movement in history
  • Controlling government that closely monitors churches
  • Enormous need for trained leaders
  • Growing materialism and corruption
  • Unreached people groups: 441

China is going through a challenging season. Many young people are out of work and feel hopeless. Thousands of churches were closed during the pandemic, and most have not been permitted to reopen. In addition, new regulations targeting house churches have made it illegal for pastors to collect tithes. Christians are now meeting together in small groups, resulting in a huge need for trained leaders. Over the years, ministries assisted by Christian Aid Mission have been able to train thousands of pastors and Christian leaders in underground churches. They are heavily engaged in reaching minority ethnic groups unreached by the gospel and translating the Bible into their languages.

Ministry Highlight

Missionaries working among remote, ethnic minorities partnered with teachers at small, local schools to help raise awareness about the importance of education, as many children do not attend school, and provided school supplies to poor children. They also distributed food, blankets, and warm clothing to earthquake victims in the region. Their efforts yielded three small groups of believers who meet weekly.

How You Can Make a Difference

Indigenous missionaries in China courageously persevere despite the challenges of new laws that penalize their work and increased surveillance to enforce such laws. They must operate with much wisdom and faith in God’s protection and provision. Your prayers and financial support encourage them, remind them that they are not alone, and strengthen their work so they can reach even more souls for Christ.

From the Mission Field in China

Be the Lord’s Hands and Feet in China
While ministering to those with leprosy, missionaries met a family that was struggling to survive. The missionaries provided the family with medicine and supplies, offering whatever assistance they could. Their aim in places such as this—where most people practice Buddhism—is to build relationships that will open the door to sharing the gospel. A gift of $25 today will help with such opportunities. Pray that idol worshippers will turn to the one true God.
Bring the Love of Christ to the Lost in China
A believer prayed for her husband—an unbeliever—for more than a year. One day—quite suddenly—he decided to give his life to Christ. After being discipled by local missionaries, he was baptized, and he also quit smoking and drinking. “His testimony has encouraged and uplifted the brothers and sisters in the church,” the ministry leader said. Give a gift today to help with such evangelism and discipleship. Pray for those searching for Truth.
Support Missionaries’ Gospel Work in China
A woman with a tumor had no money for lodging and planned to sleep on a hospital bench. But another patient invited her to sleep at a local ministry’s nearby center instead, and she agreed. It was here she heard the gospel for the first time, and she gave her life to Christ. “Her tumor diminished, leaving doctors perplexed,” the ministry leader said. “She became a powerful witness for Jesus.” Your gift of $60 or more supports missionaries in their gospel work. Pray the lost will be transformed.
Serve Others in Christ’s Name in China
Local missionaries routinely visit a nursing home to provide services to the residents, such as cutting their hair and trimming their nails. Over time, the nursing home staff has become very welcoming, and missionaries can now openly share the gospel. “Last week, after finishing haircuts, I shared the gospel with two ladies and led them to pray to accept Christ,” the ministry leader said. A donation of $25 or $50 supports such outreach opportunities. Pray for missionaries as they share Jesus with the lost.
Assist With a Ministry’s Medical Outreach in the Philippines
A local ministry seeks help with its medical missions project, which is an outreach to poor and vulnerable people who cannot afford a doctor. Through this ministry, local missionaries assist the sick and disabled, and they provide support to those with monthly medicinal requirements. “This project is one of the ministry’s strategies in winning souls for the Lord,” the ministry leader said. Your gift of any amount will help cover the $8,493 remaining cost.  Pray for opportunities to share Jesus.
Share Bible Stories With the Lost in China
A local ministry produces animated videos for children and teenagers that share stories from different books of the Bible such as Ruth, Genesis, and Ephesians. Videos from Acts and Philippians are currently under production. “Children are using these videos in Bible study groups,” the ministry leader said. “They are also shown at some evangelistic gatherings.” You can support evangelism efforts like this through a donation of $25 or $50. Pray the gospel will bring hope to those who hear it.
