How will these meetings help WEA's future work in China?

WEA wants to develop a long term partnership with Chinese Christians. One of the primary purposes of my trip was to begin to build bridges of understanding with the Chinese leaders in order to accomplish this goal. This trip certainly helped with this goal.

Does the WEA have any short-term and/or long-term plans to work with SARA and the official Chinese church?

I believe we took the first important steps during this visit. We are anticipating over the next number of years building upon this first visit. This could include an official visit to China next year by the international council and leadership team of WEA.

You visited Yanqing Theological Seminary and gave a lecture there. What impression did you get from the Chinese Christian youth?

It was exciting to be with students who are hungry to know God and want to serve Him.

Any other observations?

We need to pray for China and our brother and sisters there.
