Mission China: From Receiver to Sender in the Global Church

In recent years, the Chinese church has quietly entered a new chapter in its global story. No longer just the recipient of foreign missions, it is becoming a sending church—shaped by revival movements, rooted in suffering, and propelled by a deep hunger to obey the Great Commission.

This blog series traces that remarkable transformation. Drawing from history, theology, and firsthand interviews, it explores how Chinese believers—especially university graduates and young professionals—are stepping into cross-cultural mission fields around the world. From enduring hardship to engaging in holistic service, their stories invite us to consider not only the rise of Chinese missionaries, but also what their journey means for the global church.
