  7. The Blessing—China, Joann Pittman (August 7, 2020)

  8. The Chinese Church May Be More Complex than You Thought, CHEN Jing (September 28, 2020)
    When we talk about Protestant Christianity in contemporary China, two trademarks stand out: dual networks (Three-Self Patriotic Movement and house church movement), and strong governmental oversight or control of the church. However, they also point to a reality of great diversity, richness, and irony.

  10. In Exile—Still Waiting, Mark Totman (September 11, 2020)
    I’ve asked God during these days if he really is completely sovereign and he has answered clearly that he is. I’ve asked him if my identity is truly secure in him and not the work and life I suddenly lost. It is. I’ve asked him if all of this could really be for my good. It is. And I’ve prayed that he would help me say blessed be the name of the Lord. He has.
