The work in China

Something the Lord has impress upon my heart is to improve their economic situation, through involving the local and at the same time finance the local Church in growth and discipleship, partnering with the local Church and para-church in Singapore.

There are a number of areas:
Church affiliation
Business support
Leadership empowerment

It goes therefore beyond me and unless God further impress on my heart how to go about the work.

It is no longer I work alone to bring the gospel to the local, but the local themselves do it. There are more Christian in China and one Ernest. As such, the best way is to partner a local Church.

A good support is to empower the leaders. This can be done through training, but of course the person who do so must be right with God and right in the heart, besides just knowledge. Basically dicipleship.

Of course, the other aspect is finance. Of course God will provide, but the leaders of the Church should pastor the Chruch more than just concern about money. This is where business come it. Some form of involvement with the local is neededin particular the members of the Church. The business need to be run by the local, because it is the business setup must have a similar multiplication method like the way Jesus train the disciple.

The Church and para-church will help in the first while business man will help the second.

In both cases, it began with an identification with a local chruch and community. And the method of help must be discipleship, because by multiplying, it will free the church 'trainers' and the business man to do more rather than be bog down by a single church.

Likewise, the local church should be able to stand on its own feet, because the start off intention is to make use of the Christain in China to reach out to thmeselves.
