Global Perspectives on the Biblical Call to a Generous Life

The purpose of Christ-Centered Generosity is to be a primary resource for the global movement of biblical generosity.

This is my third blog reflecting back on six days I spent in China recently with Brent Fulton where we met with pastors, seminary leaders and academics in Shanghai and Beijing. I shared in the first blog about my amazement at the growth of the church and the window that seems to be opening for the gospel, and in my second I raised concerns about the environmental disaster that is overtaking China and the key role of the church in calling people to care for God's creation.

I have been asked to share a few highlights and reflections of my time.
