While there is uneasiness, Hong Kong Baptists also see opportunities to expand their Christian ministries. As they link themselves closely to mainland China, Baptists believe they will be able to support and encourage those churches that have endured decades of communist rule.
China has the highest number of unreached people in the world.
It is no longer possible for Christians in Hong Kong to think of themselves as a small church in a small colony. They are anxious to reach out with the love of Jesus Christ to a nation of nearly one fourth of the world's population. Baptists are poised to move forward in faith. It is with excitement that John and Janine join with Baptists in Hong Kong to be a part of the team that makes it possible to move forward. Their challenge is to focus on God's love and care and to find the place where they might offer hope and encouragement.
