After my initial travels in China in 1995, I was amazed at the rapid growth of Christianity via a tumultuous history and strong social and cultural pressures. Millions were coming to Christ every day, and I was helping to supply much needed Bibles to the underground Church by smuggling literature from Hong Kong to the mainland. Those were exciting times.
But over the years, it has been hard to describe China in it’s rapid state of transformation and development. The culture has shifted, the Church has changed, and China’s gauge is harder to read than ever.
When I first moved to China, I could have written a novel about it. In the following months of life in country, I felt that I was only able to write a blog. Today, I find it hard to explain China in 140 characters or less!
But this short book, China’s Next Generation: New China, New Church, New World is very informative and well written. I highly recommend you download these 19 full color graphic and text pages, and find out what God has been doing in China. Best of all, it’s free!
Luis Bush introduces this new book with the words:
“In recent years the nation of China and the Chinese Church have changed significantly; so has the world. It’s a new China. It’s a new Church. It’s a new world. China’s Cultural Revolution that ended in the late 1970s was followed by a 20-year-long spiritual harvest spanning the 1980s and 1990s. It was an awakening that many have called the greatest revival in history; but now we must face the reality that this phenomenal harvest is over. The year 2000 marked a turning point, the dawn of a new era. This important report brings to the fore the realities of the current situation and brings to the Church in China some crucial words of encouragement.”
