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

Assist Missionaries Who Befriend the Lost in China
Pray for missionaries as they seek to build relationships with the lost. A man who became blinded by false religion met local missionaries who built a relationship with him and helped lead him to the Lord. Because of their warmth and encouragement, he became curious about Christianity. He began to attend Bible study and various church activities, where his desire for spiritual nourishment grew. “We never gave up on him,” the ministry leader said. “Instead, we intentionally reached out to him and got to know him.” Your donations support missionaries in their every-day service to the lost.
Train New Missionaries for Kingdom Work in China
Pray for local missionaries as they train new ministry workers. During the pandemic, a local ministry planted online-only churches and small groups that have recently begun to meet in person. The ministry now works face-to-face with those church planters to train them and guide them in developing actual ministries. “These are big changes for some of our new churches and groups,” the ministry leader said. “It is just like a new, emerging phase again, since we have so many new leaders raised and ready to lead through the support online.” Your donations help support this ministry growth.
Persevere With Sharing Christ to the Lost in China
Pray the light of Christ will shine through those who trust in Him. For ten years, a woman’s neighbors invited her to church and shared the gospel with her. But she was stubborn and did not want to listen. Then, she experienced a family tragedy, and her neighbors never left her side. “I didn’t expect that they would stay alongside me through every dark night,” she told a local ministry leader. Because of their faithfulness to her, the woman began to attend church and, eventually, she gave her life to Jesus and was baptized. “My darkness was the beginning of God’s salvation,” she said. Your donations help with such evangelism efforts.
Guide the Lost to Jesus’ Arms in China
Pray for believers who have lost their way. A woman who gave her life to Christ many years ago drifted away from her Christian beliefs as she became busier with her business. Eventually, she engaged in improper tactics, such as pumping her pork products with water to add weight. But when local missionaries began to regularly disciple and encourage her to return to her faith, her life changed. “She not only attends Sunday gatherings regularly but also stopped her dishonest business practices,” the ministry leader said. “She is also actively involved in the gospel ministry.” Your donations assist missionaries as they disciple others.
Support Missionaries Who Persevere for Christ in China
Pray the gospel will transform hearts. For many years, a man refused to believe in the gospel message that local missionaries shared with him each time they visited his village. But one evening, he suffered a health emergency and began to pray. When the doctors told him the emergency could have paralyzed him, he knew God had protected him. “God is the one who listens to our cries,” he later told the ministry leader. “He is our helper and healer when we are in trouble. He is a true living God.” Donations of $60 or $120 support local missionaries as they share the good news of Jesus.
Prepare Missionaries to Work Through Difficult Times in China
Pray for missionaries who share the gospel at great personal risk. A young man who attended a local ministry’s youth camps for many years now works in ministry and has brought more than 1,000 people to Jesus. He is currently undergoing training on how to send others out into the community to build relationships with and lead others to Christ, particularly those who work in government. “He is so teachable and humble,” the ministry leader said. “Only by the Spirit of God he and his team can follow the call into this new evangelism approach in the most challenging time in China.” Your donations help provide such training to Christian workers.
