East Asia Night
In the Caudle Room on the first Tuesday of each month, we have a Monthly Missions Meeting, where we hear about what God is doing, and begin thinking about how to engage in that work as well. Last month, students shared about their summer internship experiences (students present had traveled to Ukraine, China, Rwanda, the Philippines). It was exciting to get a glimpse of God’s moving all around the world.
Next week, we’ll have the second of our Monthly Missions Meetings. We will gather for a time of worship, fellowship, and prayer for missions. This month we will be hearing more about opportunities and challenges in East Asia. Several students and guests will share from their own experiences of working in China and Vietnam.
The Economist just published an article about the growth of Christianity in China. The number mentioned is 130,000,000 (YES, 130 MILLION), more active Christians than any other country in the world. The article also mentions the ongoing need for training and education of church leaders in the Chinese churches.
Continuing on the East Asia theme, later this semester, at our Global Gospel Advancement week, we’ll be welcoming Dr. Michael Oh, president of Christ Bible Seminary in Nagoya, Japan. In hsi evening lectures, he’s going to share more information about what God is doing in Asia and in the global church.
