Jim Nelson graduated from West Point in 1987 and moved to China in 1991. His goal has always been to proudly hold the cross high and contribute positively to China and the government.
He has taught English, studied Chinese full time, started and led a Christian nonprofit, and has been the general manager of two factories. In 2009, he began his own venture, helping western companies find reliable talent in China. Jim has a lovely Faith blog called The Main Thing.
Jim is happily married and has three wonderful children.
Pure Joy, Oh My
God is not dead in China, and he never will be. He is working his purpose out and giving us some paths to work with him in it in the times we are in.
The Wrong Approach to Living in China
I love living in China and have immersed myself in Chinese culture. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go since I arrived here in 1991—many who approach China with negative attitudes and misconceptions.
I’d like to share my thoughts about how to enjoy this culture that God loves. Specifically, I want to note some wrong approaches to China that I hope will instruct us in a better way.
