Growing bond between China and Israel

OM International
English/Français

Israel’s Field Leader recently returned from mainland China. Many pastors there trace the roots of their churches to Hudson Taylor and his small band of workers in the late 19th Century. Now the Chinese Church is longing to bring the gospel to the world and back to Jerusalem.

Says Jonathan, “This past week we have had the privilege of hosting two groups from Hong Kong and getting them involved in practical outreach: prayer walking, postbox tracting, drama, dance and even painting a wall mural on the community centre of a Bedouin town.

“Our team has formed a link with a Bedouin young man who has a vision to develop after-school enrichment programmes for his community. Two girls on the team ran a short English program last year. And last week a group from Hong Kong painted a mural of the Good Samaritan on the wall of the centre, sharing the story with the children in drama and dance.”

Please pray that God will bless and guide this growing relationship and vision of the Chinese Church.
 

Les liens se resserrent entre la Chine et Israël
Le directeur de la mission en Israël est rentré récemment de Chine. Beaucoup de pasteurs de ce pays font remonter les racines de leurs églises jusqu’à Hudson Taylor et sa petite équipe à la fin du 19ème siècle. Aujourd’hui l’église chinoise a à cœur d’apporter cet Evangile au monde et à Jérusalem, où tout à commencé.

Jonathan raconte, « cette dernière semaine nous avons eu le privilège d’accueillir deux groupes de Hong Kong et de leur permettre de s’investir activement dans une campagne d’évangélisation : marche de prière, distribution de tracts, mime, danse et même peinture d’un mur du centre communautaire de la ville de Bédouin.

« Notre équipe a établit un lien avec un jeune homme bédouin qui a la vision de développer des programmes d’enrichissement après l’école pour sa communauté. L’année dernière, deux filles de l’équipe ont dirigé un programme d’anglais. La semaine dernière, un groupe de Hong Kong a fait une peinture murale du bon samaritain sur le mur du centre, tout en racontant l’histoire aux enfants par le mime et la danse. »

Merci de prier afin que Dieu bénisse et dirige ces relations et cette vision de l’église chinoise.
