  • 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

Bring Spiritual Revival to Remote Places in China
During a six-month period, local missionaries visited members of a minority group who live in eight separate settlements. During their initial visits, the missionaries sought to understand the people's living conditions and their spiritual challenges. Later, they began to share the gospel, visit with individual families, and minister to those in need. "Our ministry teams at each settlement site continue to implement pastoral care and evangelism, reaching 120 people through meetings and visits," the ministry leader said. Donations of $50 or $100 assist with such outreach.
Assist Missionaries Working in Isolated Places in China
With new high-speed trains now in place, local missionaries can better access rural villages with the gospel. "We have used online for the last three years to connect leaders and trainers," the ministry leader said. "Now, we can help them learn and connect through gathering together." One major development from this new mode of transportation is the ability for missionaries to connect Christians from urban university ministries with churches in places that were once difficult to reach. Your donations of $60 or $120 support missionaries engaged in such discipleship opportunities.
Help Train New Christian Workers in China
A young man who participated in a local ministry's youth outreach became a believer, and now, many years later, he has led more than 1,000 people to Jesus and discipled many others. The ministry is currently preparing him to train other believers how to evangelize in their own communities, especially those who work in government. “He just wants to obey the leading of the Spirit,” the ministry leader said. “Only by the Spirit of God do he and his team follow the call into this new approach in the most challenging time in China.” Your donations of $60 or $120 help train missionaries for such work.
Encourage Seekers to Follow Jesus in China
Approximately 50 college students attended a three-day event hosted by a local ministry in which Christian leaders presented on topics such as “The Real Meaning of Life” and “How Entrepreneurs Get to Know and Accept the Love of Christ.” Through these lectures, the students explored Christianity and the deeper meaning of life, and at the event's conclusion, 19 students gave their lives to Jesus and were baptized. “This was a milestone in their journey of faith and a landmark of their personal growth and transformation,” the ministry leader said. Your donations support such outreach opportunities.
Assist Christian Workers Who Share Jesus in China
Local missionaries regularly visit the elderly in different places because they live alone, some are old and sick and unable to care for themselves, and most have never heard the gospel. “If no one comes to preach the gospel to them, they will never have the opportunity to hear it,” the ministry leader said. “We have been very burdened with the lost souls of this needy group of people, and we need more brothers and sisters burdened by the harvest to participate in our ministry.” Your donations support missionaries as they bring the hope of Jesus to the lost.
Lift Up the Downtrodden in China
Women from a local church joined together to care for an elderly woman in the final stages of lung cancer and her daughter, who suffers from mental illness. Together, the church women prepare and bring meals to the mother and daughter, they do their laundry, and they help them clean. One woman even brings the adult daughter to spend the night in her home some nights so the mother can rest easier. "Because of God's love, these church sisters serve willingly and joyfully," the ministry leader said. "The elderly woman has deeply experienced God's love." Your donations are needed for such outreach.
