This past year has been extraordinary for ChinaSource—a season marked by remarkable kingdom partnerships and unity that point directly to God’s faithfulness. Reflecting on the milestones of 2024, one phrase captures the essence of this journey: “unprecedented territory.”
From forming new partnerships with Chinese-led ministries to strengthening existing collaborations, we’ve seen a diversity of voices—emerging leaders alongside seasoned ministries—joining us to share their stories with the global church. These partnerships remind us that, even in a world marked by division, the body of Christ is being built and unified in powerful ways.
As I shared in December’s Lantern, our founder, Dr. Brent Fulton, described this season as unlike anything he has seen in decades of ministry. We’re deeply humbled that so many new and established Chinese-led organizations have invited us to learn and partner with them, choosing ChinaSource as a platform to share their stories with the English-speaking world. You can read the full message here.
Looking Ahead to 2025
While we celebrate what God has accomplished in 2024, we are eagerly anticipating the year ahead. By his grace and with your partnership, we aim to build on this momentum in 2025:
- Deepening our prayer ministry: Worship and prayer will continue to anchor our efforts, creating more opportunities to intercede with and for the Chinese church.
- Empowering young leaders: We’ll focus on raising up the next generation of leaders in the mainland and diaspora, equipping them to serve in unity with the global church.
- Engaging in mission strategy: As China’s mission-sending movement grows, we’ll facilitate dialogue on innovative strategies for cross-cultural collaboration.
- Supporting spiritual formation: Providing resources for growth and member care remains a priority for ministry teams in China.
- Expanding our reach: Through media and other platforms, we’ll connect more Christ-followers around the world to God’s heart for China, inspiring the next generation to serve alongside the Chinese church.
Will You Partner with Us?
These goals reflect the opportunities God has placed before us. As we step into 2025, we invite you to partner with us in two critical ways:
- Through Prayer. Your prayers sustain and strengthen this ministry, ensuring we remain faithful to God’s calling.
- Through Giving. Would you consider making a year-end gift—perhaps the largest you’ve ever given—to help us respond to these kingdom opportunities? Every dollar goes directly toward equipping and serving the Chinese church.
