Chinese House Church Vision

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 10:58 AM PDT

Throughout the month of March, we will be posting daily about Chinese Muslims, the prayer focus for our upcoming Secret Church gathering. We invite you to learn about Chinese Muslims and pray with us for God's glory to be made known among them. If you would like to read other posts in this blog series, you can find them here.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8, ESV)

In 1943, God said to Chinese Pastor Mark Ma that since Pentecost, the Gospel had generally spread from Jerusalem in a westward direction all the way to China. Now he wants the Chinese to take the Gospel from China all the way back to Jerusalem. Here is the conclusion of their conversation:

"I (Mark) said, 'That section of territory is under the power of Islam, and the Mohammedans (Muslims) are the hardest of all people to reach with the Gospel.' The Lord said, 'The most rebellious people are the Israelites; my own field of labor was the hardest.' I said, 'O Lord, if it is not that their hearts are especially hard, why is it that missionaries from Europe and America have established so many churches in China, but are still unable to open the door to Western Asia?' The Lord said, 'It is not that their hearts are especially hard, but that I have kept for the Chinese Church a portion of inheritance, otherwise, when I return will you not be too poor?'"

PLEASE PRAY

  • Thank God for giving the Han Chinese church a vision for church planting among Muslims.
  • Ask God to strengthen the Han church so that they can fulfill this vision.
