Who we are and What we do

The Chinese government is more open than ever to permitting religion to expand in China.  Some officials are convinced that Christian principles will have a positive effect on the stability of the population.  While this may be self-serving on the government's part, the end result is the same -- explosive growth of the Chrisitan population in China.

Connecting with China, a ministry of EFCC, sends short-term teams to China to teach, encourage, and counsel people, many of whom are followers of Christ.  It is estimated that across China thousands of people every day are accepting Jesus as their Savior.  Most of these new believers do not have parents or grandparents to mentor or guide them how to live like Jesus.  Many house church pastors have only recently become Christians themselves.  Even mature Chinese brothers and sisters are hungry for supplemental teaching and mentoring. 

Because of the current modernization in China, the Chinese people look to America as a model for economic and spiritual success.  They are eager for the respected counsel of mature older brothers and sisters from the United States.


All this creates an environment that practically begs for teams of spiritually mature Christians to enter China a mentor, teach, and evangelize.  They do not want an American church in China, but they do want to be strengthened, taught, and fed by mature American Christians. 

God is doing amazing work in China.  He has called us to join this effort and has given incredible blessings to those who have answered His call.
