WeChatting to the Glory of God

Serving China Through Digital Engagement


Many people think that, due to security concerns, nothing of a spiritual nature can be said or done online in China. As always, when it comes to China, reality is quite a bit more complicated. Despite restrictions and an increasingly tight environment, there are still creative ways that Christians are using the internet for evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and encouragement. In this webinar, we presented a picture of what God is doing through four different ministries involved in digital engagement.  

We invited four speakers who have extensive knowledge and experience in this burgeoning field, all of whom are involved in developing innovative digital engagement strategies. Each one presented their work and resources, as well as tips on how to use digital engagement to minister to your Chinese friends. Following the presentations, there was time for questions.

Panelist Sean Cheng shared a list of internet Christian Resources in Chinese. That list can be found here.  

Another resource he mentioned was the Internet Mission Forum
