In 1979 Wang Weifan, now Professor of New Testament at the Nanjing Theological Seminary, was released from the Red Guard forced labor camp. One spring morning after his release, while riding his bicycle home he was overcome by a sense of God's presence and love.
Flowers are blooming, all birds sing.
Arise, my Lord, I'll go with Thee. Jesus my Lord, my love, my all, My life, my soul, all mine is Thine. Through death's dark vale I cling to Thee. This is a testimony to God's preservation of the Church in China during terrible years of persecution and suffering. Today there are 13,000 churches open, with 20,000 meeting points or missions.
