At ChinaSource, we have never wanted the act of reading our articles and using our resources to be merely an intellectual activity that makes us “better educated.” Instead, we want the reading to inform our thinking, which will, in turn, motivate how we pray. We long for every article and resource we produce to serve as a catalyst that helps us pray with greater depth and focus.
As we think more deeply, we pray more deeply.
A Groundbreaking Issue in Four Ways
We sense that our latest issue of the ChinaSource Journal, focused on Chinese Public Theology, is truly groundbreaking. It pushes boundaries in ways we have never seen before:
- Written in Chinese First: This is the very first issue of the Journal written entirely in Chinese and subsequently translated into English, preserving the voice of the contributors.
- Led by Chinese Voices: Every single writer in this issue is of Chinese descent, offering invaluable firsthand perspectives.
- Expanding Our Horizons: For the first time, ChinaSource covers the Chinese diaspora community in Malaysia, broadening our understanding of global Chinese Christianity.
- Deepening Understanding: It pushes us all toward a richer understanding of how Chinese Christians worldwide are thinking about the relationship between theology and public witness, virtue, peace, justice, and beauty.
Moving from Insight to Intercession
We want this issue to be groundbreaking not just in its content, but in its impact on our spiritual lives. We want it to drive us to pray more deeply for our Chinese brothers and sisters around the globe.
To help bridge the gap between reading and praying, we have created a dedicated Prayer Guide based on this issue. It includes specific prayer prompts and requests drawn directly from the themes of each article.
As you read, we invite you to pray. Let these insights shape your conversations with God as we open our hearts to not simply learn about the global Chinese Church, but to learn from our Chinese brothers and sisters.
