Building Bridges in 2024
As we look forward to 2024, will you donate to help ChinaSource continue to build bridges between the church in China and the global church?
Thrive Globally
What sets Thriving Leaders apart is its collaborative approach, which involves trainers from various Chinese churches and seminaries worldwide coming together to create courses tailored for Chinese church leaders…. "Fundamental Truths" introduces basic theology, while "Overview of the New Testament" offers Bible school level training to Chinese pastors, all at no cost.
Building God’s Kingdom Together
Even though obstacles to ministry in China are on the rise, our Heavenly Father continues to open new doors for ChinaSource.
How Should We Care for Orphans in China?
Adoption—a foundational metaphor of the Christian faith and a challenging topic in the world, especially when intertwined with China’s one-child policy era, international complications, and issues of identity for adoptees. In this collection from the archives, we’ve pulled together reflections, book reviews, and analysis to open up our perspective on adoption from China.
A Journey of Captivation and Identity
Andy and Sandy's life-altering journey began with adopting a baby girl from China. Unbeknownst to them, this moment would shape their family's identity, guiding them on a path of cultural exploration. Over time, they welcomed more children into their family, each with a unique bond to Chinese culture. Through deliberate efforts, they cultivated a profound Chinese American identity. Today, as their children have matured, they reflect on how memories, experiences, relationships, and values have molded their identity.
The Chinese Church Does Missions (2) Beyond China

Let’s Connect
Join us in Alhambra, CA on Thursday, August 31 for a ChinaSource Connect event for fellowship, worship, and an update on God's incredible work with his church in China.
New Opportunities as the Narrative Changes
These new opportunities are a great way to gather regularly to pray for China, to pray and ask our Father to show us what he has for the future [and] be a part of forming the new narrative for Chinese missions.
An Emerging Missions Movement in Asia
At the upcoming Arise Asia conference, I look forward to hearing first-hand what God is doing among his people in Asia and to discerning ways that we can be more deeply involved in mobilizing and serving the next generation of gospel workers from Asia.
Back to Church in Post-COVID China
For most churches, stagnant ministry and the loss of believers were inevitable during the pandemic. Churches need to focus on how to expand further, gain new believers to compensate for the loss, and even achieve growth in the number of believers.
An Unexpected Treasure
I can’t help thinking about how discouraged they must have been when they had to leave China so soon after working hard to learn the language and start a new ministry… But God wasn’t finished with either them or his people in China.
