Summary

In the author’s ten years living in China, Chinese friends and foreign friends alike have told him that in many ways he is more like a Chinese person than an American. Taking his cue from the Apostle Paul, “I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some” (1 Cor 9:22), Laughlin first looks at how we are to imitate Christ’s love and humility to effectively love the locals to whom we minister. He then covers many specific aspects of life abroad and how we can better live like the locals that some may be saved.

Developments in Mission Sending from China

By Brent Fulton | Hundreds of Mainland Chinese Christians serve as missionaries around the world and thousands more minister among China’s unreached people groups. Chinese church leaders have a goal of sending out 20,000 cross-cultural workers by 2030. Traditional Western sending structures and methods may not suit China’s context. Despite many challenges, Chinese leaders are committed to collaborative missiological learning to fulfil the Great Commission.
