A godly response by insiders living for Jesus in China
From the insiders’ perspective, living in China as a follower of Jesus is simply life. Like a deep-water creature, we get used to the darkness, cold, and pressure .We learned how to share the gospel, pastor our churches, and advance God’s kingdom in deep water. Some might think that deep water is not fit for life, but if you find yourself there, you might be surprised by how resilient you can be. You simply need to do it, and you can. @ChristianDailyInternational
