Because of this, China has more churches and more Christians than ever before. Hundreds of Christian organizations have developed avenues to enter China to serve its needs. Christian merchants, industrialists, scientists, medical doctors, and technicians work in China at their occupations and convey the love of Christ. Some of them make short-term trips into China to share their expertise and their faith. Throughout the year various organizations promote programs in language learning, cultural awareness, and friendship.
Radio broadcasts beam in messages of evangelism, nurture, and even theological education.
Christian literature in ever greater amounts continues to be brought in from Hong Kong. Christian educators and teachers, mostly Chinese, carry out covert short-term training programs, although the government is aware of most of what they do. Private schools have developed on several levels, and some are Christian. The Amity Foundation runs the Amity Press, which prints and publishes 1.6 million Bibles in China each year. It also encourages outside groups to do beneficial social projects.
