This is a Dvd in Mandarin and English with Chinese subtitles, showing the explosive growth of Christianity in China. When Mao Tse Tung and his Red Guards thought they had wiped out the Christian faith by removing the Western missionaries and imprisoning / persecuting the local Chinese pastors and leaders in the 1950's, they did not realise that the Christian faith could not be erased from China. Like the trees shedding their leaves in winter only to bloom again in Spring, the underground faith of the Christians grew from strength to strength.
The Communists imprisoned Christian Chinese leaders like Wang Ming Dao and Watchman Nee for many many years, hoping that would surrender and renounce their faith. But they preferred to die for their faith in Christ. Watchman Nee died in prison but Wang Ming Dao was released in due time.
The video shows the tremendous spurt of growth of Christianity in Red China from a mere few hundred thousand to a good 70 million by the end of the twentieth century. Individual stories are told in the video of a host of witnesses for Christ, converts from atheists and agnostics, from Red Guards to gangsters and drug addicts. Couples estranged and dysfunctional families found the Lord and were healed in their relationships. You will see also a lady dance instructor leading her students in prayer and reciting Scripture. A bankrupt ex-gangster on the verge of suicide was encouraged by his mother to go to an underground church, was converted and then became a leader of a church.
The dvd is too large to be uploaded to this blog. If you need a copy, you can email me at andlfloh@gmail.com or sms me @ 019-6677090.
