China

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

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. One woman became friends with several members and was invited to cook and shop with them as their friendship grew. After a while, they invited her to the group. Now, she attends regularly and wants to know more about Jesus. Your donations support evangelism throughout the country. Pray for God’s protection over believers who must meet in secret.

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. “The weekly Bible study has helped me a lot and the most profound thing I learned about God is that He is so real and faithful that I have to trust and rely on Him alone.” Your donations of $60 or $120 support discipleship training opportunities such as this. Pray for believers as they grow in their relationship with the Lord.

Encourage Christian Workers as They Serve Others in China
A woman who desired nothing more than to share the gospel with her family and colleagues became so overwhelmed with uncertainty of how to go about doing so that she wanted to quit her job. She confessed her anxieties to the wife of a ministry leader who began to disciple her, encouraging her to first pray for those with whom she hoped to share Christ. “Miraculously, after I prayed for them, their attitudes toward me changed,” the woman said. “I knew how to share the gospel, not through words but through my deeds.” Donations of $60 or $120 support missionaries’ work. Pray the Lord will empower the faithful as they share His story.

Help Disciple Followers of Christ in China
Native missionaries lead a Bible study at a nursing home to enable the residents to fellowship and grow in their Christian faith. “Many elderly have been on a spiritual low since the Covid pandemic and needed God’s words to restore their spiritual health,” the ministry leader said. “Through studying and discussing Scripture, many were encouraged and inspired.” Ministry workers pray the Bible study will also be a witness to unbelievers of the joy that is found in the Lord despite the challenges they face, such as illness and neglect from their families. Donations of $60 or $120 support discipleship such as this. Pray believers’ lives will be a joy-filled testimony to the lost.

Unite With The Persecuted Church in China
An older woman in a village hostile to the gospel chose to follow Jesus after the persistent love and compassion she was shown by native missionaries. But her neighbors prohibited her from attending church, and her children told the missionaries they were unwelcome. When the woman suffered a bad fall and no one knew if she would live, the missionaries prayed, and her injuries soon healed. After they witnessed God’s healing power, the villagers grew kinder toward the missionaries. “Thank the Lord that the soil was softened and seeds will soon sprout,” the ministry leader said. Your donations of $50 or $100 support gospel work in places hostile to Jesus. Pray for those persecuted for their faith.

Care For The Sick And Ailing in China
Missionaries with a native ministry serve patients and their families at a local hospital, sharing the gospel and providing food and free lodging to those who have spent much of their savings on medical expenses. Even after the patients leave the hospital, ministry workers maintain a relationship with them, visiting them in their homes or speaking with them on the phone. Of the nearly 1,000 people who received assistance in the past six months, 50 chose to follow Jesus. Your donations of $35 or $70 support compassionate aid such as this. Pray the hope of Christ will lift up those who are hurting or sick.
