Christian professionals have been instrumental in the tremendous church growth China has experienced the past decades. But now many expatriate workers are forced to leave the populous,Asian nation.

Brent Fulton, the founder of the ChinaSource news agency, has followed the church in China closely since the mid-1980s. In an interview with World Magazine done in October, he underlines the important role Christian professionals from other nations have played in the Chinese church growth.

You can find many Chinese Christians today who trace their faith journeys back to the witness of foreign Christians who came to teach on university campuses and start businesses, says the ChinaSource founder.

The GO Equipped preparation course for tentmakers has had record attendance this year. The number of participants is up 70 percent since 2017.

We praise God for the great growth we are experiencing. Hopefully the increased number of course participants will give more cross-cultural Kingdom workers in the years to come, says Steinar Opheim, the director of Tent International.

The GO Equipped course is developed in a collaboration between Global Intent and Tent International and has been run annually in several nations the past 15 years. The past two years, the course numbers have grown rapidly, mostly due to the establishment of Tent resource centers in new nations.
