Christianity has moved by Natasha Grbich| January 2010
New Year greetings! I trust that you all had a good rest and are ready to leap into all that God has planned for 2010. I returned from the USA in early January and hit the ground running with a visit to Eshowe in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Dumile (one of our leaders) had gathered a group of ladies to fast and pray in preparation for the year. I taught on intercession and the importance of our marriage covenant with God. In Eshowe (the home of President Zuma and his wives), we stood as the Zulu people to marry the Lord and committed ourselves to be faithful to that marriage covenant. It was an awesome time!
During December I attended the meetings of the International Coalition of Apostles in Orlando, Florida. It was a good time of networking, but the session that really impacted me was the panel by the Chinese Pastors. (Copies of the DVD available from the office.) For the first time we had testimony from pastors in China about what is happening in their churches and what God is doing in the nation.I was moved to tears as they shared that it has been an honour for them to suffer for the sake of the gospel and how their suffering has qualified them to be ministers of Jesus.
Conservative estimates have the Chinese church at 100 million people. And it is not limited to the rural areas. The church is growing in the cities among business people and government officials, on the student campuses as well as in the villages. The South China Morning Post was quoted as saying that there were now more christians in China than members of the communist party! When they had finished, we all felt like we needed to be born again!
The Chinese are coming! The price they have paid in blood and suffering over the last several decades has opened the gates of the nations to them in this day. We are going to see more and more Chinese missionaries reaching nations that are no longer open to the ‘Western’ gospel. Chuck Pierce says that by 2016, China will be the leading ‘sending’ nation in the world.
Peter Wagner stated that the centre of Christianity has shifted to China and this is the sound of the voice of the church now. I was challenged and we as a House are challenged. Do we sound like the Chinese Church that humbly embraces the Cross or are we still in the old wineskin of North American Christianity that preaches a message of ‘greasy’ grace and prosperity?
I am determined that the Chinese that come to Africa find a people who speak the same language and can labour alongside them in this great continent!
Blessings
