Chinese Church Voices—Top 10 posts of 2019

As the implications of the “new normal” in China have played out over the past twelve months, Christians in China have continued to live out their faith and worship God wherever and however they can. They continue to be the body of Christ in their environment and to carry out the Great Commission as God leads. And they continue to write and interact with each other and the world online.

Here are the top ten Chinese Church Voices posts that caught our readers’ eyes from 2019.
