Reviews
ChinaSource does it again! This course is filled with incredible insights and thought-provoking content about what is actually happening in the church in China. True, it is impossible to tell the whole story in a 1.5-hour nutshell. There are too many moving parts, an overwhelming number of juxtapositions, and superfluous realities and misconceptions about the 21st century church in China. Still, Brent Fulton and his team do a wonderful job of clearly stating the wide array of circumstances surrounding the Chinese church in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend this course and will be sharing it with our missionaries and visiting short-term teams.
