God's fire has been kindled in China. It is now beginning to blaze up there. Soon, Christianity will be taken by Chinese Christian missionaries to the nearby strongholds of paganism, to confront the Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim nations with the Picture of a 10 foot ancient 8th century limestone "Stele [Recording] the Spread of the Religion of Light [Christianity] from Rome to China.

God's fire has been kindled in China. It is now beginning to blaze up there. Soon, Christianity will be taken by Chinese Christian missionaries to the nearby strongholds of paganism, to confront the Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim nations with the Gospel of Jesus. Chinese Christian leaders have longed believed that God saved China for now, to begin His "end run" spread of the Gospel of Jesus, from China - all the way back to Jerusalem, where it all began. When the Chinese say "Back to Jerusalem," they're talking first of all about a geographical advance of the gospel throughout history. Some estimate that as many as 30,000 Chinese a day are becoming members of the Kingdom of God through the Gospel of Jesus, every day. Some estimate that as many as 80 million Chinese have become Christians, within their Communist nation. It hasn't been easy along the way. But strangely enough, the Chinese Christians who have come through the "fire" of Communism, are like the earliest Christians - baptized with a spirit that will never be extinguished.
