Chinese to Christ Ministry
IBCC China – Wing Wong
- We are facing plenty of challenges this year. I just heard that the Chinese government is stepping up another level of controlling the internet in China. Our students and co-workers may not be able to outsmart the government by using VPN any more. Another setback is a stronger control on non-residents visitation. We may have to turn away our American short-term mission teams who come to help with our VBS and camps because they must get government permission for the activities. The police are certainly likely to check on them during those events. Besides getting more pressure from the government, some people in Jiangxi, where we have thirteen churches, have vowed to report me to the police if I show up in their city because they think there are too many faithful followers there who would not give up my leadership. However, praise the Lord, He has already revealed new ways to evangelize the Chinese people in China and has led another couple to join our team! (At this time, I cannot share our new plan for security reasons.) We appreciate your prayers very much!
- Praise God for the protection of our co-workers and the printing company! First, the man who does our printing was almost caught publishing my last book on Philippians. The police came and searched his shop just before our co-worker gave him the book to be printed. If he had been caught, he would have had to pay a very heavy fine and our co-worker might have ended up in jail. (Last year, a print shop was fined for over USD120,000 and the Christian minister was jailed for 6 months.)
- One of my co-workers was recently detained carrying about a hundred copies of the Philippians book across the China border to Hong Kong. When the police opened her suitcase, somehow the study books had slipped under several children books that she was going to give to her grand-nephew. The police thought all the books were harmless children’s books and let her go! Thank God for His protection! Thank you for praying!
- Please take note that we changed our mission’s name last November from Hong Kong Christian Mission (HKCM) to Chinese To Christ Ministry (C2C Ministry) as a better description on the focus of our ministry. We have prepared a nice brochure to explain the change and the details of our ministry. If you want a copy, please contact me either through RHM or email your request to info@C2CRHM.com.

Manchester Chinese Christian Church
Brandy Lee – Manchester, NH
- The theme of our church this year is: “Love your neighbors as yourself.” We want to reach our Chinese neighbors. Specifically, we will target the elderly since many of them just stay home without much of a social life. Pray that we will have the love of Christ and wisdom from above to reach them.
- Please pray for Brother Philip Cheng. He has tinnitus which adversely affects his sleep. We have prayed for his healing. If it is in the Lord’s will, please pray that God will manifest His mercy to Philip so that he will know God more through this weakness.
- Give thanks to God that Vera, Preacher Lee’s daughter, arrived safely in South Africa and has started her co-op. Please uplift her in prayer so that she will make wise decisions and have a positive impact on those she meets.
