CHINA. They came from all over the northern part of the province. They ranged in age from their early 20s to mid-50s. Many were farmers and some were general laborers. Most had received only the equivalent of an elementary school education. But they were the leaders of house churches and they were hungry to learn. So for several days they studied the Word of God from dawn to dusk and beyond. Some were challenged to read the Chinese characters, either because of vision problems or due to their minimal education. Some were shy about sharing in front of the group of 30. Some were initially resistant to a challenge to go forth and train others. But at the end of the intensive training time, they committed by the power of God to do the following in the next three months: personally lead 209 people to the Lord, train 142 others to start churches, and plant 71 new congregations. They had come committed to learning. They left committed to sharing.
