your thoughts
the Chinese church exploded when all their leaders.. indigenous and imported.. where killed or left the country. What is the implication for change for the church in North America?

Isn't that the exact same thing that happened to the Ancient Church when the leadership fled Jerusalem? Killed or dispersed by the Roman onslaught? Hmmmm.
Monk...isn't that interesting...

Alex,
It wasn't the "building" it was their "church leadership" ;O

This very nuance has come up at our last two weekly conversations. Last night we even contemplated if the Church in the West ought to pray and long for intense persecution. Historically the Church has expanded under heavy persecution and has become complacent under cultural acceptance (thanks for nothing Constantine!). Let's keep talkin' bout this...
i get your drift about persecution but.
can we have faith that God's way is not always our way...and that maybe church growth is not the only measure of his success?
