Missionary journey to China 2013.

Isaiah 9:2 says, "The people who are now living in darkness will see a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light will shine on them."

China is a dynamic country. What about the Christian Church? According to the data of the Chinese State bureau of statistics, there are in China about 1.3 billion inhabitants and approximately 100 million Christians. The number of christian is still growing for about 15000 daily. Since the door is open to import Bibles, there are millions of Chinese Bibles in the country now, and the result is that the (underground) Church is explosive growing. China possesses one of the world's largest generation movements.

From 1987, more than 25 million Bibles are printed in China. However, 25 million Bibles is still too little for 100 million believers. This is especially true for rural areas, the hunger for the word of God is greatly, this is especially true for rural areas. The practice is that every Bible who enters new (sometimes hundreds) converts. In that sense, it is a positive prayer without end.

Despite the Chinese Christians have so many years of an atheist-Communist regime, a highly developed sense of spirituality. The Chinese life with the spirits. If they believe in Jesus Christ, the Savior, come, they can easily open out of ignorance for a world that until the dimension from the Kingdom of darkness belongs. So it is important to receive healthy food from the word of God. It prevents and reverses erroneous doctrine. It is therefore necessary to good Biblical teaching to take care of.

In spite of that, many of house-churches in China, are well monitored by the police. Bible teaching and preaching are prohibited. Bible distribution and printing of Bibles is completely out of the question. Christians be fined, arrested, jailed, beaten, tortured and tortured. The result is that the Church of Jesus Christ in spite of this is growing!

Rev. Ruud Phaf wants to go to China for many years. He was waiting for the time of the Lord.

On the trip to Africa in 2012, the Lord gave him the ability to meet chinese Christians and they invit him to come. Would you please, pray with us for this trip?
