Christian Life
A Time to Pray
Responding to Disasters with Faith and Unity
This perspective on God’s faithfulness is especially crucial as we face current challenges, including natural disasters like fires and earthquakes.
A Story Well Lived
Rudolf was all of these—a dear brother in Christ who left an indelible impression on those with whom he served. His vision and unstoppable determination to seek the expansion of Christ’s kingdom in China were instrumental in shaping ChinaSource into the organization it is today.
Pray for China in 2025
Prayer is and has long been a hallmark of churches in China. As we enter a new year, we at ChinaSource are committing to a renewed emphasis on praying for China. What are some of the things that we want to see happen in China, in the lives of those we serve there, and in our own hearts and minds?
Anticipating Hope
In just a few weeks we will celebrate Messiah’s birth, remembering the day when hope entered the world, forever changing the course of human history. Many of our China stories have a similar anticipatory quality. Whatever our stories may promise, our hope for China is more than looking forward to an ideal future.
Gratitude
As we prepare for Thanksgiving Day celebrations here in the United States, I’ve been thinking about expressions of thanks in Chinese culture and language. The most common way of expressing thanks in Chinese is xie xie (谢谢). But there is another word: gan’en (感恩). I love that en means “grace.”
Chinese Upbringing and US Culture
A Third-Culture Kid Bridges East and West
Pray that the Chinese Gen Z can find their true meaning and identity, that their worth would not in their achievements, but of a higher force.
God Is on the Move, Part 1
Observations and Reflections on Protestant Christianity in Post-Covid China
During the zero-COVID chaos, Chinese churches found hope and resilience, witnessing God's presence amid isolation.
The Light of the Bible
My Reflection on the Influence of the Bible on China
A group of devout Christians, who lived out the Bible's teachings, made its words come alive—tangible, and visible. As I was influenced by them, I began to experience joy, gradually transforming from a person prone to anxiety and worry to one filled with hope.
Your Freedom Is Not My Kind of Freedom
Only by accepting Jesus can we know the truth and accept the truth, and only then can we be free, and live above the law and under grace. If we do not…accept the freedom of Jesus but continue living in the so-called freedom under the law, then we are simply taking joy in our sin.
More than Just “Good”
Our new identity in Christ allows us to bravely face everything that being a woman entails… Even if the world, Satan, or our own sin constantly seek to deceive us, we can, by fixing our eyes on God, bravely and strongly maintain our feminine identity.
