GLOBAL IMPACT REPORT
6
In the US, our partner China Partnership trained around 2,000 Manda- rin-speaking church leaders and volunteers in 2025, preparing them to use the Mandarin edition for local ministry and discipleship. We’re collab- orating with global partners to develop contextualised Chinese resources tailored to their cultures and contexts. Imagine living in a country where going to a church of your choice could mean being arrested, harassed or worse by your own government. Jessi- ca (name changed) is in her twenties and lives in a closed Chinese speak- ing country. She grew up with an atheist outlook and had never heard of Jesus. After joining a global tech company, she met a Christian colleague who bravely invited her to church and then to a Christianity Explored course. After the third session on sin, Jessica told the course leader that she suddenly understood her own need and the reality of the human condition. “It hit me that nothing and no-one else could save me - only Jesus,” she said. That day she gave her life to Christ. Within a year, with help from her pastor, she began a workplace fellowship and has been inviting others to explore the Gospel for themselves. With more than 1.4 billion Chinese people worldwide, there is a deep spiritual need for the gospel. Despite persecution in some Chinese-speak- ing countries, the life-changing message of Jesus must be shared!
Our ministry in the Middle East and North Africa continues to grow. While we are unable to share details of our gospel-sharing partnerships in this region for safety reasons, we praise God that we have Christianity Ex- plored translations in Arabic and Farsi that are being actively used. Please do pray that our work in this region will be fruitful and multiply, and for protection for all involved. MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA SERVING THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
