Yang Chen at APC

I will always be grateful to a female co-worker, Xie, for leading me to Christ. The first time I met Xie, I was put off by her brusqueness. However, some time later, I noticed an amazing change in her life. I was told she has embraced the Christian faith. It was during the time when there were some changes to my job scope. Some of my colleagues and I were assigned to work on the machines. As it was very tough work, many of us complained a great deal. Only Xie worked without grumbling. She was like a totally different person altogether: from a blunt and caustic person to one with a quiet and gentle spirit.

Turning Point
One time when everyone was idling around and complaining about work, they started to make fun of Xie, …

Fang Xiaodong

Two people were instrumental in leading me to Christ: my wife and my boss. My wife became a believer before I did. In the beginning she tried to reach out to me by inviting brothers and sisters-in-Christ to our home for fellowship where they would share the Gospel with me. But I did not want to believe. I would try to debate with them about religion, deriving my arguments from the many religious books I had read. However, after my wife had received Christ into her life, I could not deny that her life underwent tremendous changes for the better.

The second Christian person who influenced me greatly was my former boss. His kindness and graciousness were traits I found very rare in the people around me. Because of him, I had a good opinion of Christians, thinking that they are generally “good” people. Later, it …

A smiling Huang Mei at APC

I had been unwell for a long time. Ever since my son was born, I experienced an unexplained coldness all over me. While most people around me wore shorts in the heat of summer, I had to don on thick layers of clothing. Once I was so sick physically, I could not make it to work.

My father, being a superstitious person, thought my sickness was caused by evil spirits. So he brought me to a doctor who knew both medicine and supernatural healing. After the diagnosis, the doctor said that it had nothing to do with evil spirits, rather it was Hepatitis B. Thereafter, the doctor advised me to send my son for a checkup to see if he had been infected as well. The results proved to be positive.

I was devastated. Everyone around me, be it my husband or my parents, …

The Proclaimer: “God’s Word in audio recording”

A real-life account of how Proclaimers were used to share God’s Word in a rural church in China.

The Proclaimer is a digital audio player dedicated to playing God’s Word in the local heart language developed by Hosanna, Faith Comes By Hearing.

Imagine this scene: a 78 year-old lady sitting in front of a small black box which resembles a large transistor radio, in the comfort of a darkened living room, listening intently to the audio recording of the New Testament in her own heart language. She sits there day after day, night after night, enjoying this favorite pastime which by now has dethroned her former pursuit of watching television. She got so excited by the Gospel recording that the next night she invited her friends and neighbors to come over to her house and listen. Through …
