Christianity in China is complex and diverse, with a rich history and a church body full of dedicated Jesus followers sharing God's eternal hope and peace with others.  Yet, faithfully serving Jesus in China comes with it's own set of challenges.  By visiting our Christian friends in China in partnership with The Outreach Foundation, we learn about the challenges they face and how they are navigating them. We also deepen our understanding of Chinese culture and the ways the American church and the Chinese church are interconnected.  But most importantly, we offer mutual encouragement and strengthening of our faith to both our Chinese friends and to ourselves, as we witness God’s work in China and  return home seeing our own context with fresh eyes.

Come experience the church in China and be inspired by fellow believers living as "salt and light" (Mt 5:13-14) in a difficult, ever-changing context. We will meet with Christians and church leaders in four different regions and hear how they continue to faithfully serve Jesus while simultaneously navigating and responding to issues specific to their local area.
