I heard godly American speakers conveying decades of acquired learning and wisdom, and the Chinese audience receiving it gladly.  But meanwhile I saw Americans and other foreigners being refreshed and re-centered by the vitality of our Chinese brothers and sisters.  In fact, I did not merely see this, I felt it.

The church in China can bless us through their testimony of God’s faithfulness to them and the sharing of their response to persecution. I believe that their example of sacrifice and courage will encourage many in our country to step out of their comfort zone to serve the Lord.

Before [going to the conference] I was content with my life in Boston. I felt it was enough to focus on my home church, until my friend came and informed me of a much greater “battle” that is going on. And so, I joined the “fellowship of Grace to City,” not expecting much. By the end of the trip, my perspective had changed.
