China (OM/MNN) ― Operation Mobilization (OM) says there's a growing bond between Israel and China. The connection between the Far East and the Middle East is not so unlikely as you might think.
OM Israel's Field Leader recently returned from a trip to mainland China. Many pastors there trace the roots of their churches to Hudson Taylor and his small band of workers in the late 19th Century. Now the Chinese Church is longing to bring the Gospel to the world and back to Jerusalem.
The Field Leader says, "This past week we have had the privilege of hosting two groups from Hong Kong and getting them involved in practical outreach: prayer walking, postbox tracting, drama, dance and even painting a wall mural on the community centre of a Bedouin town.
"Our team has formed a link with a Bedouin young man who has a vision to develop after-school enrichment programmes for his community. Two girls on the team ran a short English program last year. And last week a group from Hong Kong painted a mural of the Good Samaritan on the wall of the centre, sharing the story with the children in drama and dance."
Please pray that God will bless and guide this growing relationship and vision of the Chinese Church.
