China update

Forgive my lack of communications. No reasons, only excuses.

Arrived back home yesterday from an extended focus on China. 31 people gathered together for these projects including my wife.

Tomorrow I'll insert some pictures which cover among other things our speaking in China's largest church in Huai-An, Jiangsu, lecture at Union Theological Seminary in Nanjing and several other leadership training events.

If you are interested in being included in our mailing list please contact us. In our hard copy publications we are able to share more detail than we choose to share here on www.

The rate of change in China is staggering. Pleased to see so many people benefiting by the solid economy. My assessment is there is a growing middle class. I also suspect materialism will quickly replace persecution as the number one impediment for the growth of the church in China.

One of the new opportunities which most pleases me is the ability to now place quality study tools in the hands of pastors and teachers. These are printed in China. Completely legal. Up until now however, the price has made these tools out of reach for most teachers. Unquestionably this will prove the most effective and cost efficient means of enhancing the quality of the church communities. Good Chinese pastors are the answer for the church in China.

As mentioned you can check in tomorrow afternoon for some pictures and more details.

Again forgive me for the lengthy delay in sharing with you.
