“Being in China amongst the believers had a profound effect on my life. I will never forget their passionate love for their Bibles and the gentle tears that flowed as they prayed. They live simple yet miraculous lives and through these pages you too can meet the Chinese church. Read this book and let their courage challenge you; the miracles amaze you; and their dedication inspire you to carry Jesus into our nations and see revival here too.”

- Rachel Hickson, Heartcry for Change,

“For all those, like ourselves, who have followed the growth of Christianity in China from afar, this is an inspirational book. Over the decades since China closed its doors as a nation, we have had to content ourselves with occasional stories leaking out of church growth and accompanying persecution. Now that China in the 21st Century is rising as a world power, it seems that Chinese Christianity is rising with it! It has been estimated that more people go to church in China than belong to the Communist party. If this is so, then surely Christianity has played its part in the growing confidence, economic growth and international stature of this huge nation of China. This book will show you some of the roots and shoots of what God is doing in China today! May it inspire much prayer.”

- Roger and Faith Forster, Founders of the Ichthus Christian Fellowship,

“This book reminds us again why we are fascinated by the history of the Chinese Church and the perseverance of its saints, for it captures the essence of God’s passion for all of us and His profound plans for the future of our world. The mission of these saints to take the gospel `Back to Jerusalem’ will be strewn with much suffering and pain. That is why our fervent prayers and support in all forms must be given with equal measure of passion and zeal to match their courage.”

- Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh, Managing Director, YTL Corporation,

“This is a really important book, based on some intensive in-country research of the history and testimonies from the last generation of courageous Chinese missionaries, and then looking at the remarkable fruit of their ministry, and the implications for the world missionary movements. The Chinese are coming! I highly recommend this for your inspiration and encouragement.”

- Gordon Hickson, Chairman of Love China International, and National Coordinator of Mahabba network International,

"My hope is that through the testimonies and the message of this book, those brothers and sisters who have all served China in hundreds of different ways may see the fruits of their labour and find reassurance that none of their efforts in Christ have been in vain. These stories are just an offering of firstfruits to God. My longing is that by the grace of God the Chinese Church might join hands with the rest of the world to spread the gospel with even more power and effectiveness, bringing even more glory to God!"

- Pastor Wang, Chairman of Beijing House Church Leaders’ Forum,

“I firmly believe that the publication of this book will have a great impact on many churches, even thoroughly changing the concepts of what mission means to the Eastern and Western church to bring about a new movement of revival and reformation. I cannot recommend highly enough that anyone who has a heart for the kingdom of God or for missions would take the time to read The Coming Chinese Church!”

- Brother Yun, The Heavenly Man, A Leader from the Chinese House Church,

While China is shaking the world in ever increasing ways, behind the scenes it is the Church that is moving China. And the Holy Spirit will not stop at China's borders. From the fires of persecution to the toughest frontiers of mission, the Chinese Church is rising up. Many Chinese Christians are convinced that they are set to become a powerful missionary force that will reach to the ends of the earth. Chinese believers know how to believe; they know how to pray; and they know how to remember and honor their spiritual heritage. These qualities are leading believers to engage directly with the rest of the world. The Coming Chinese Church tells stories of the Chinese revival previously unpublished in the West and offers prophetic insight into China's role in mission as it seeks to impact the world. Drawing heavily on testimonies and stories from within the Chinese Church, this luminous book deals with a number of major themes: confronting the challenges of secularism; anti-Christian sentiment; engaging with Islam; personal and corporate revival.
