CCD Monthly July 2025

Foreword:

Greetings! We are China Christian Daily, the first comprehensive English Christian news website about the church in China. Thank you for your sincere love, prayers, and contributions to the Chinese church.

Christianity has been introduced into China for centuries, with thousands of Western missionaries sacrificing their lives and dedicating themselves to this land. Their faithful service has borne much fruit over the past decades.

As the church in China continues to grow in maturity, it has begun sending missionaries to other nations, seeking to repay the "gospel debt." In this issue, we present stories of missionaries of Chinese or overseas Chinese descent, sharing their mission journeys in various parts of the world. We also include two articles about foreign missionaries in China—one offering insights from a current worker, and the other reflecting on the legacy of a missionary who served and died in China around a century ago.
