Many waters,I've sailed,throught my voyage of life.Over water not always tranquil,yet free of pain and strife.Sometimes tossed in raging strorms but never left alone.I saw a light that beckond me towards the shores of home.Always in the distance,this beacon I could see.Giving me direction as I sailed upon lifes' sea.

20th century no matter how fiercely the
05:46
storms of persecution rage Christianity
05:50
could no longer be uprooted from China
05:52
as it was in the Tang name and chain
05:55
dynasties instead the face flourished
05:58
and had grown too strong to be surprised
06:02
from Matteo Ricci Robert Morrison and
06:05
Hudson Taylor to the boxer martyrs of
06:08
1900 the seeds planted by the life and
06:12
blood of thousands of Western
06:13
missionaries finally had sent down deep
06:16
roots into the harsh and ancient man

the Chinese Communist Party members who
07:03
took control of mainland China in 1949
07:06
were die-hard atheists although the
07:10
Constitution acknowledges freedom of
07:12
religion the Communist Party's covert
07:15
goal is to limit transform and
07:18
eventually eliminate religions from 1949
07:23
to 1953 at least several thousand
07:28
Christians were killed tens of thousands
07:31
were imprisoned while these horrors were
07:36
happening premier Joe and Lai invited
07:38
Rui out soon to a number of meetings
07:41
they launched the three self Patriotic
07:44
Movement it urged Christians to join the
07:47
government-controlled three-self Church
07:49
which advocated self-governance
07:52
self support and self propagation its
07:55
aim was to put Christians under the
07:57
complete control of the Communist Party
08:00
[Music]
08:03
I was imprisoned because I refused to
08:06
join the three self Patriotic Movement
08:09
I love my country very much my students
08:13
are the best pianist in China some even
08:15
went aboard to perform and they were
08:18
well received everywhere she didn't
08:20
break any laws but the government wanted
08:23
to denounce me anyway the real reason
08:25
was that I spread the gospel and refused
08:27
to join the three-self Church Oh God
08:31
Sanju didn't feed on Amara I was a good
08:35
friend of who Yan song the leader of the
08:37
three self movement but I was surprised
08:39
when he asked me to be part of the
08:42
leadership and resist even though I knew
08:45
my refusal would lead me to prison in
08:48
labor champion tempers that I considered
08:52
all the consequences sure enough on the
08:56
evening of May 28 1959 people from the
09:00
police and Public Security came to take
09:03
me away back in a current
09:05
about what tentative woman
09:10
on September 14 1955 I was sent to
09:13
prison for the first time 16 months I
09:16
spent there in 1958 I was sentenced to
09:19
20 years I wasn't released until 1978
09:23
what is the first time I was sent to
09:25
jail was in 1961 the main charge was my
09:28
refusal to join the three-self movement
09:31
why would these evangelists rather be
09:34
imprisoned than join the government
09:36
controlled three-self Church or majority
09:40
people we believe that Jesus is the head
09:43
of the church not any personal
09:45
organization politics and religion
09:47
should be separate when you try to
09:49
integrate them the church deteriorates
09:52
and can become a political tool they
09:55
also have serious questions about the
09:57
faith of ruuuuun
09:59
and other leaders of the three-self
10:01
churches with him with a recognization
10:03
agent one day during a dinner
10:05
conversation asked Leo's own what he
10:09
thought about the miracles performed by
10:11
Jesus he said he had rejected those
10:14
longer so we also heard in Goshen ruyan
10:19
and Dingaan Sean they both belong to a
10:22
faction which we call the non-believers
10:24
group we refused to join them because we
10:27
felt they didn't have faith within 10
10:30
years almost all the evangelists who
10:33
refused to join the three-self Church
10:35
were imprisoned or put into labour camp
10:40
Madame yangshin Fey was one of them she
10:44
graduated from the Shanghai Music
10:47
Academy in 1957 and with 27 when
10:51
arrested he spent 20 years in jail the
10:57
night she was arrested her father was
10:59
very ill what my dad was already in bed
11:06
I went to say goodbye to you I also
11:10
asked for my mother we always pray
11:13
before leaving homes there was one
11:17
policeman standing guard beside her
11:19
another one beside to me my mother
11:23
prayed to the Lord
11:24
begging him to take care of new girls
11:26
have mercy on my daughter never leave
11:30
secretely and bring her back safe and
11:32
sound
11:33
middle or be with her then I left home
11:36
and went to the labor camp during this
11:42
harsh winter of faith
11:44
the land was frozen and blue but the
11:47
wheat did not die underneath the ice and
11:51
snow seeds were struggling to take root
11:54
waiting for spring to come
11:57
more today Joe moon crucial I was in
12:03
jail for 21 years and eight months in hi
12:05
long Jiang province near the former
12:07
Soviet Union it was extremely cold there
12:10
and a lot of people died but you know
12:13
all those years I never got sick not
12:16
only did I survive I wasn't sick single
12:19
day so I know God still has work for me
12:22
to do the hardest part was that all the
12:26
women criminals will lock up anyone's
12:28
room and it was too noisy to sleep I
12:31
also need to pray everyday or I can't
12:35
sleep so I waited until they all fall
12:39
asleep and I crept up out of bed and
12:42
kneeled and pray to God every night was
12:45
like this and - I left a labor camp that
12:51
very water had to pull the blankets over
12:53
my head and pray there was no Bible but
12:57
a human stayed with me you know the one
12:59
the old rugged cross boy y'all call
13:04
ginger water Joe so I'll cherish the old
13:09
rugged cross till my trophies at last I
13:12
lay down I will cling to the old rugged
13:16
cross and exchange it someday for a
13:18
crown sure the Joe cohort : squirrel in
13:24
there I sang it over and over to keep my
13:27
spirit up the path of the class was
13:31
paved with humiliation and suffering for
13:35
those who chose to walk this path every
13:38
step was taken with blood and tears was
13:43
understanding again gentle decision I
13:46
was in jail for 23 years
13:49
if they had told me that it will last 23
13:51
years I don't think I would have made it
13:53
when they held a public meeting to
13:56
criticize denouncement they asked do you
13:59
still believe in God do you still
14:01
believe in Jesus they pulled my hair and
14:04
my ears they punched me knocked me to
14:07
the ground and kicked me and they jerked
14:09
my handcuffs and asked do you believe do
14:13
you still believe the handcuffs had made
14:16
deep gouges in my flesh which has
14:18
started to fester they hauled me away
14:21
like this back and forth back and forth
14:23
but I prayed to the Lord I have followed
14:26
you as far as I can surely you're not
14:29
glorified when they denounced and
14:31
torture me each day I'm your servant and
14:34
your child are you glorifying heaven
14:37
when I'm suffering like this in prayer i
14:39
entrusted my whole family to the Lord
14:42
then I was ready to kill myself how
14:45
could I do it with handcuffs on when the
14:49
two guards went for lunch I jumped onto
14:51
the bed and unscrewed delightful I
14:54
planned to kill myself with an electric
14:57
shock but the electricity wasn't strong
15:01
enough
15:01
later people told me it was because I
15:03
had income from the handcuffs diverted
15:07
the electricity and saved me while I was
15:10
in the middle of doing this people from
15:13
outside noticed and shouted most she
15:16
wants to kill himself the government
15:18
officials call me out and lecture me you
15:21
want to threaten the government you want
15:23
to make the government look bad by
15:25
killing yourself and night unconfessed
15:28
to God I said Heavenly Father I have
15:31
fallen short of your glory I've made it
15:34
through 12 years of labor camp and
15:37
endured a lot of suffering why can't I
15:40
rely on you until the very end I'm not
15:44
worthy of your glory please forgive me
15:46
our Lord
15:48
then I heard the Lord speak to dear
15:51
child my grace is sufficient for you
15:54
dear child my grace is sufficient for
15:58
you and a third time he spoke so very
16:00
gently my grace is sufficient for you
16:05
then the word comforted me by His grace
16:08
I survived
16:16
while thousands of Christians suffered
16:19
in prison for the sake of the cloth the
16:22
storm outside the jails grow even
16:24
stronger after 1958 the government
16:28
closed down many churches in the name of
16:31
unifying them 66 churches in Beijing
16:36
only four remained open in Shanghai
16:40
eight of 204 were left open and in
16:45
Guangzhou only one of the original 52
16:48
was left all of a sudden that seems that
16:52
the Chinese Church was withering
16:55
[Music]
17:07
in 1966 when the Cultural Revolution
17:10
started the Chinese Christian Church v
17:14
extermination was a noun
17:22
churches were destroyed believers homes
17:27
were confiscated and Bibles were burned
17:32
even the three-self churches did not
17:35
escape Chairman Mao's wife claims that
17:39
Chinese Christianity was finished and
17:41
belongs in the History Museum everywhere
17:51
you went there were red guards
17:52
everywhere you went there were armed
17:54
radicals
17:55
everywhere they interrogated you many
17:58
faithful believers shed tears in secret
18:00
while they waited and waited for light
18:03
to come what did imagine I remember
18:06
clearly on June 16th 1966 the largest
18:11
poster they put out red was done with
18:13
the imperialist running dog missionaries
18:16
unrepaid I said I cannot change my
18:19
belief in Jesus watch and they replied
18:21
you stubborn idiot go see your God all
18:25
the students came to the meeting
18:27
criticized and denounced me from then on
18:29
they locked me in the cowshed watching
18:32
me on congenital I remember watching a
18:34
Christian standing on a platform they
18:37
denounced him and called him a
18:38
ringleader of superstitious people there
18:41
was an elderly sister in our area and
18:44
when she got on the platform she called
18:46
out leave in Jesus do not fear death you
18:50
know what I was committed of
18:52
counter-revolutionary activities because
18:54
of my faith in Jesus I was forced to
18:57
pray through the streets they often held
18:59
public meetings to denounce me my whole
19:02
family suffered the same thing just
19:04
because they were related to me many
19:07
churches were shut down missionaries
19:09
were arrested or forced to wear tall
19:11
guns caps their hands were painted black
19:14
and they were forced to parade through
19:15
the streets Church life was completely
19:18
destroy
19:23
at the same time an item landed on God's
19:26
altar when Mao Zedong sued overlooking
19:31
Tiananmen Square in his - the fanatic
19:33
masses below it seems that he captured
19:37
the heart and soon of everyone in China
19:49
near Chairman Mao we promise you we will
19:53
be the successors of the working class
19:54
revolutionary mission we will follow you
19:57
and carry out revolution or our life we
20:01
will smash the old world and until the
20:03
new world for the working class the
20:05
imperialists and revisionists hoped in
20:08
vain to transform us and in future
20:10
generations peacefully but that will
20:12
never happened we will take the great
20:15
south of 12 resume and carry them to the
20:17
next generation and spread them all over
20:20
China and the world underneath the
20:29
overpowering waves stirred up by this
20:31

20:51
from one side to the other one people
20:54
shouted and a dog kept barking and
20:57
biting US officials brought out scissors
21:00
and cut off my hair and lay on the
21:03
ground but did not kneel before their
21:06
prison oh yeah home or considering
21:08
whether we studied current affairs or
21:11
the quotations of Chairman Mao I kept
21:13
silent I refused to sing revolutionary
21:16
songs not a single line and refused to
21:18
salute long list of Chairman Mao I
21:21
refused to raise my fist to show my
21:23
loyalty I refused to write statements
21:26
that promised obedience to know that
21:29
once they interrogated me
21:31
she answered this question can Chairman
21:34
Mao go to heaven this was a tough
21:36
question if I said Chairman Mao couldn't
21:38
go to heaven they would beat me to death
21:40
on the spot it was a life-or-death
21:43
moment during that time but I had been
21:46
praying day and night I spent all my
21:48
time in prayer and got very little sleep
21:51
so I stood up and handcuffed and said
21:54
the door to heaven is wide open everyone
21:57
can enter as long as he acknowledges
22:00
that Jesus is the Son of God was
22:03
crucified on the cross that his blood
22:06
can cleanse all our things and admit he
22:09
is a sinner and is willing to receive
22:12
Jesus as Savior then he can enter the
22:15
gates of heaven the gate of grace is
22:18
wide open now is the time for salvation
22:21
I'm only too anxious to see you all
22:23
repent and receive Jesus and His grace

22:29
down from the platform and hit me
22:32

22:40

22:46
Revolution he was accused of opposing
22:49
chairman now
22:50
well mostly son you die we'll go
22:53
together in Turkey I didn't put up
22:55
Chairman Mao posters because at the time
22:58
Chinese people worship Mao as their God
23:00
and I believe Jesus is the only true God
23:03
the government held a public meeting
23:06
about 10,000 people were gathered to
23:09
denounce me when they asked me to
23:11
confess the first words out of my mouth
23:14

new yuan pool was a village teacher from
25:21
Hunan Province and as a young man
25:23
traveled to Beijing to attend Chairman
25:25
Mao's reveal with regards a fijian
25:28
those of us who went to Beijing were
25:30
excellent students after returning home
25:33
from Beijing I was appointed rehgar
25:36
commander during the time we were so
25:38
ignorant all we wanted was to live or
25:41
die for chairman loud until the day I
25:44
die I'll never forget what happened when
25:47
an old missionary was denounced in fact
25:50
I was directly involved in organizing
25:52
the public meeting and scheming how to
25:54
accuse and punish her but when the
25:57
records beat her up she responded kindly
25:59
Oh God
26:01
forgive this children but they don't
26:02
know what they're doing again in 1978 I
26:06
repented and my wife and I started a
26:09
house church in our home at first only a
26:12
few old ladies attended now we have over
26:16
3,000 believers the first training
26:19
school began in my house
26:21
today there are between 40 and 50
26:24
training schools like this
26:28
[Music]
26:32
what we are the children of God but they
26:36
say we are the descendants of Dragon one
26:40
since I who is now a house church leader
26:43
was once a Red Guard commander in order
26:46
to show his loyalty to Chairman Mao he
26:49
persecuted his own mother because of her
26:52
belief in Jesus you know what she left
26:54
hold on back know what is yen to later
26:56
because I was an activist in the
26:58
Cultural Revolution I put up a big
27:01
poster to criticize my mother publicly I
27:03
didn't want to have anything to do with
27:05
her especially politically it didn't
27:08
matter that she was my mother
27:10
[Music]
27:15
[Music]
27:17
in spite of what I did she prayed for me
27:20
and fasted for 20 days this made me
27:24
think if something were definitely bad
27:26
for them
27:27
a mother would not want her children to
27:29
have anything to do with it why did she
27:32
pray and fast for 20 days for my
27:34
salvation I had to think about that same
27:40
difficulty Vasily Wow I didn't go
27:43
seriously she would risk her own life so
27:47
that her child might come to believe in
27:48
Jesus while the same Jesus was denounced
27:52
convicted and labeled as evil by our
27:55
country
27:56
I was wondering but couldn't figure out
27:59
why ahead what they're called doctor
28:03
what God will do necessity whoa urge
28:06
yeah well Anna tahoe well be neat over
28:09
food one day my second sister came home
28:11
and asked me if I'd like to read a book
28:13
yes I said in those days I welcomed any
28:17
books later she gave me a book that had
28:20
no cover and no back it was worn out all
28:24
the way to the seventh chapter of
28:25
Matthew the moment I started reading it
28:29
I was moved in Chapter seven it said do
28:33
not judge or you will be judged whatever
28:36
measure you use to give to others the
28:39
same measure will be given to you
28:42
this is so true I thought
28:45
when I asked my sister who wrote it and
28:47
told her it was so well written she
28:50
thought I had already accepted Jesus she
28:53
said there were Jesus's words I was
28:55
furious
28:56
I threw the book out into the yard that
28:58
hurt my sister so much worse than a
29:02
wound she rushed outside and picked up
29:04
the Bible then she told me that a sister
29:07
in Christ had died during the Cultural
29:09
Revolution
29:10
in order to save this Bible still the
29:13
toda Gonzalez lunch inside sister
29:16
brought a Christian to see him later
29:19
this brother died in jail what about you
29:22
to know what a cool I invited him into
29:25
my room when he saw all the books on my
29:27
desk he asked me if I'd read them all I
29:29
said that I had then he said you must be
29:33
a seeker of truth I said yes he told me
29:37
that I wouldn't be able to find truth on
29:39
earth real truth comes from above he
29:42
gave me an example there was an apricot
29:45
tree laden with ripe yellow fruit that
29:47
fell to the ground
29:48
a pig came by and ate the apricots
29:51
afterwards the pig dug the earth with us
29:54
now to try to find more it didn't know
29:57
to look up and see that the apricot had
29:59
come from above I thought the story was
30:02
very philosophical
30:03
he didn't mention Jesus at all or
30:05
anything about the Bible I couldn't move
30:08
or to Yasuko immediately like shit about
30:10
some dinner section I love you later on
30:13
I felt an explosive force within me and
30:15
said I believe after I said that help my
30:20
face turn red the blush was hotter than
30:22
being caught stealing after becoming a
30:25
believer one since I was eager to find
30:28
the Bible he had thrown away and he did
30:31
managed to track down the Bible's owner
30:33
Waldorf's william shockley
30:35
i said i'd like to trade my bicycle for
30:37
your bible i see i offered my new pigeon
30:40
brand bicycle but he said no
30:44
in those years a brand-new bicycle cost
30:47
as much as a car does today however a
30:52
Bible was an invaluable treasure for a
30:56
Christian if I the church was shut down
31:01
from 1958 on there were no gatherings
31:05
but an elderly sister fasted prayed and
31:08
cried out to the Lord every day she
31:11
cried for the future of the Chinese
31:13
church during the Cultural Revolution
31:15
they found the Bible in her house and
31:17
took her away they beat her and broke
31:20
one of her feet tell the family I wasn't
31:23
there was only one torn apart Bible that
31:25
survived the Cultural Revolution within
31:27
50 miles of a home it had the New
31:30
Testament but only from Romans chapter
31:32
12 to Revelation chapter 11 we wanted to
31:36
study it but the owners wouldn't lend it
31:38
out it was their treasure so we had to
31:41
go over there to copy it every week we
31:45
had to make two or three trips the
31:47
original way to say that women in
31:50
out-of-home ahem are the first Bible I
31:53
received was from a sister someone from
31:57
Hongkong had given it to her during our
32:00
meeting we passed it around so that
32:02
everyone could touch and feel it for a
32:04
while everybody held it to their cheeks
32:08
and kissed it after being kissed by 30
32:12
people the Bible was soaked with tears
32:14
and the red color became faded the fact
32:18
only possum
32:20
[Music]
32:22
during the Cultural Revolution Chinese
32:25
Christians risked their lives to
32:27
preserve a few Bible perturbing and a
32:33
lot of Hammurabi Bibles became available
32:37
and overseas believers began to smuggle
32:42
Bibles to house churches across the
32:44
country it was not until 1985 sponsored
32:50
by a Western foundation that Bibles were
32:53
printed in China in large quantities but
32:57
even today public distribution is not
33:00
permitted people who want to own a Bible
33:03
must buy one at a three South Church
33:10
mountains cannot stop rivers that flow
33:13
to the ocean the day the Bible has
33:17
entered millions of Chinese families it
33:20
is a stream in the desert poisoning
33:23
every thirsty soul
33:25
[Music]
33:37
[Music]
33:56
at the end of the 1970s Christians began
34:00
to be released from jail I was so
34:06
anxious to go home
34:07
I wished at no time and took the Express
34:09
train it was after 11 o'clock at night
34:13
when the train arrived in the gene pool
34:15
abundant here our eldest daughter in the
34:18
her husband our first man in the four
34:21
bars quickly ate some porridge then
34:23
hurried to the train station the light
34:26
was red until you could hardly see
34:29
anything our eyes got very tired the
34:32
folders were spread out along the
34:35
platform with currency each other we
34:37
kept looking around the train station
34:40
until no one was left they didn't find
34:43
him from operation wallah forward I'd
34:47
been gone over 20 years and I was
34:49
wearing a black cotton padded jacket in
34:51
case and a big four hat and a pair of
34:54
food coming condemn anyone took the bus
35:01
to buy tossa to the home he had left but
35:04
he couldn't find his home then was all
35:06
it was all I looked here and there where
35:09
should I go
35:10
I started to call my wife's name Lily
35:12
young I didn't know where she had moved
35:15
in 1958
35:17
we were at William Cheung their new
35:19
address we've had no idea my third
35:21
daughter-in-law answered my call Lily
35:23
hyung went to the train station to pick
35:25
someone up I replied that it was me
35:27
remember I had never met any of these
35:30
daughters involved my oldest son was
35:32
only 17 when I left
35:34
mrs. yuan along with her children came
35:36
back from the train station very
35:38
disappointed dependable Yonghwa I saw a
35:42
light in my room was it possible I
35:45
hurried up the steps and open the door
35:48
there he was washing his feet his head
35:52
was severed and he was perfect
35:55
I was speechless so totally
36:00
they gave him 60 yen per charlie I still
36:04
couldn't say a word he was so thin I
36:07
didn't know what to say yet I was a full
36:11
of joy and gratitude usually if it was a
36:15
life sentence you could never go home
36:17
people who don't believe in Jesus a
36:19
strong fate wants to help me return home
36:22
it wasn't my fate I am God's child the
36:25
decisive element
36:27
the first thing we do was to thank God
36:29
what was the young every hope I ever had
36:31
that is you might come home it turned
36:33
out that prison was a safer place to be
36:36
during the Cultural Revolution otherwise
36:39
he would have been bitten to death
36:41
I was so full of gratitude when I
36:43
thought of this after he washed his feet
36:47
he didn't eat he went right to sleep I
36:50
cleaned up a car ready to go to work the
36:52
next day 20 years of imprisonment were
36:57
over but Ellen UN knew that his wife had
36:59
had a harder life outside prison during
37:02
those long years so thank you all those
37:06
20 years when I was gone my wife
37:09
suffered a lot while she raised our
37:11
children I thought I saw what after he
37:14
left we had eight people in the family
37:16
of my mother you know in a city Shirin I
37:19
had no job later when I got a job I made
37:23
80 cents a day which is 24 yen us three
37:28
dollars a month after the three young
37:31
Thai I had 21 year in left how could the
37:35
eight of us live on so little money or I
37:37
could do was pray Lord yes this is from
37:41
you so I won't say anything about it I
37:44
just want to ask you to protect my
37:46
children and me from this honor and you
37:49
know my six children complained I often
37:53
told them that their father went to jail
37:55
not because of any crime but my children
37:58
to suffer allowed one of my sons he was
38:01
with named homebred head
38:04
cause that was the lunch we brought at
38:05
school everything he said mother could
38:09

38:12

38:20
afford to buy sticks one day this family
38:23
of eight said math bottom there was
38:26
absolutely nothing left to eat by handle
38:29

39:45

39:53
from doors around her that sustains this
39:56
gentle woman and her family in body and
40:00
heart

in 1978 pastor Samuel and which released
43:18
important what's within yourself when I
43:24
got out of jail I found out that my wife
43:26
had died to use earlier
43:29
my father died seven years earlier was
43:32
we mobile cleaner over the years when I
43:34
returned from labor camp I had nothing
43:36
left they didn't return any of my assets
43:38
all my house they came to our home three
43:40
times to confiscate things finally they
43:43
kicked us out we had to live in a little
43:46
dark room about seven square meters
43:48
there was no daylight no fresh air
43:51
perhaps they didn't anticipate that the
43:54
pressures that they had to face after
43:56
leaving jail hadn't changed they still
43:58
had to register to join the three-self
44:01
Church but the government also had an
44:05
unanticipated situation to deal with the
44:09
answers from all these Christians remain
44:11
the same as before
44:13
and mobile but then I refused to
44:15
register before that's what I said go
44:18
ahead and arrest me again
44:19
I was 75 in 1999 I am an old man I
44:24
missed to jail the first time I was in
44:26
prison for 16 months the second time 20
44:29
years
44:29
I'm used to it soon when I returned home
44:33
in October 1979 people came to my house
44:36
every day some came to read the Bible
44:39
some came to pray later we started the
44:42
house church service and we continued to
44:44
this day
44:45
my faith is more important than
44:47
everything else if the laws of the
44:49
government are against my face I will
44:51
never submit to man I submit to God was
44:55
it war father I was not against the
44:57
government well the government
44:59
misunderstood me according to the Bible
45:02
we submitted the authorities but in
45:04
terms of phases and I submit to God not
45:07
man which is the way to go that's all
45:10
they continue moving on to their faith
45:13
and continue to carry their own cross
45:18
first of all between October 10 1985 to
45:22
January 10th 1986 they lock me up for
45:25
three months and again between April
45:27
24th and July 23rd 1992 they put me
45:31
behind bars for three months accusing me
45:34
of spreading the gospel outside of
45:36
pre-assigned area hey Jimmy hall you may
45:39
hear the plainclothes policeman came on
45:42
Sunday and declared there was no service
45:44
on that day they claimed yuan was sick
45:47
you will be fine in the middle of the
45:50
gathering seven public security
45:52
personnel entered in uniform three of
45:55
them went upstairs as a student I'll
45:56
stay away one of them interrupted our
45:59
preaching and asked who reported to the
46:01
police that they had been a suicide one
46:04
of the brothers said no one had reported
46:05
a suicide we didn't have any suicides
46:08
here then we started to sing the
46:12
grossest Alma didn't draw we were
46:14
singing as they later will be the Tyler
46:16
sure - yeah sure - yeah
46:20
what don't time to go singer yeah top
46:23
Angela
46:39
these elderly men who have been deprived
46:43
of their youth who were even considered
46:45
strange in the modern world said neither
46:48
bitterness and regret the first time
46:54
they asked me if I was going to appeal I
46:56
said no I thought to myself why appeal
47:01
to men I need is prayed to God hoping
47:04
thank you and home die we shouldn't
47:05
resent anybody because nothing happened
47:08
that came from man God allowed us to
47:10
suffer this way Jesus suffers as well
47:12
but was not resentful he prayed for his
47:15
persecutor example well - like what do
47:17
you know just after I was relieved I
47:20
didn't appeal the policeman said we're
47:23
not going to rejoice you're here because
47:26
you will keep doing the same thing we
47:27
need you
47:28
of course I will keep doing the same
47:30
thing oh I'd be put on this earth to
47:32
witness for the Lord what else is
47:35
important - will be then the Lord tell
47:41
me from the beginning to give up
47:42
everything and carry the cross to follow
47:44
him this is the Lord's way I'm following
47:48
him on the same path why should I be
47:51
upset why should I complain this is my
47:54
biggest blessing at the first was
48:00
originally sentenced to life
48:02
imprisonment but they released him in
48:05
1987 it was very important to him not to
48:09
leave the Incheon jail so he stayed in
48:12
the little house nearby
48:13
yes Suja followed the court he to me and
48:19
change my situation from non repentant
48:22
to repentant in order to release me
48:25
I protested in two ways first I refused
48:29
to leave the jail then after that I was
48:31
relieved I choose to live as a life
48:34
sentence prisoner in a place just
48:36
outside of the gates not only did he
48:42
live next to the jail the first insisted
48:46
on fasting five days a week if I keep on
48:53
fasting like this they will know I have
48:55
now repented that I don't accept their
48:58
accusations in the first place if I
49:00
continue to fight like this until I die
49:02
it will mean that I refuse repentance
49:05
even until death after 15 years of
49:13
fasting ever first came to the end of
49:16
his 78 years on this earth and rested in
49:20
the Lord some churches in unit 1 wanted
49:24
to have some of the badges but they were
49:26
quietly spread on the yellow river in
49:31
his last letter to his relatives pepper
49:33
first wrote i died as an unrepentant
49:37
criminal just like my lord jesus for
49:47
many years I've believed in Jesus and
49:49
follow him the Lord Jesus has always
49:52
listened to my prayers he has been with
49:54
me wherever I go I will never be 9
50:33
the way the class surpasses all human
50:36
understanding where the class is the way
50:40
of humiliation and glory the way of
50:44
suffering and joy the way of sacrifice
50:48
and victory in children madam vengeance

didn't completely recover my health when
61:11
I found Jesus but there was the kind of
61:13
indescribable joy within me I didn't
61:16
know where he came from
61:18
I saw it over and over and I decided it
61:22
was best to follow the reasoner my
61:25
greatest joy it was there finally I
61:26

61:33
path of sin the Chinese have experienced
61:37
a great deal of sin in this mortal
61:39
existence but never have they
61:41
experienced the peace that comes from
61:44
forgiveness and baptism by the Holy
61:46
Spirit
61:48
any loss to me the whole time the
61:50
minister was preaching I couldn't help
61:52
crying I really didn't understand why I
61:54
was afraid that other people might see
61:56
my tears so I tried to wipe them away
61:58
without anybody seeing me I kept my head
62:01
bowed and I listened to the sermon I
62:03
remember it was about repentance through
62:06
Christ's atonement for us
62:08
I always felt like I was the prodigal
62:10
son
62:11
but the last eternal love has not
62:13
abandoned me I'm so thankful that so far
62:16
I've been able to serve God reward you
62:19

62:23
forget it was only through God's grace
62:25
that the warmth inside me healed so that
62:30
nos ago when God came to me he touched
62:33
my heart and the power of his message

63:11
a reason to live just as the Sun cannot

63:17
stop sprouting these people answered a
63:21
call from deep in their souls they were
63:23
reborn through Jesus they could not help
63:26
but dedicate themselves to God and
63:28
become missionaries of the gospel how
63:42
fast time flies I have been on this path

with 16 years Jane Chen Yoon was born
63:49
and raised in an intellectual family
63:51
when she decided to dedicate her life to
63:54
missionary work she had a long talk with
63:56
her father peddle al-ghazali was
63:58
invented a descendent holiday and he
64:01
said to me you have three choices if you
64:04
like to continue your education I would
64:07
support you financially if you'd like to
64:11

65:02
far away you are
65:09

65:13
afraid to look up and my father then he
65:17
asked me one last time if I was sure I
65:20
wanted to leave Watership I said yes I
65:24
want to go that that is so he took out
65:27
$30 and said I don't have much money
65:31
large take this with you for the role
65:34
the only thing is all optional way he'll
65:37
be supported my mother used to Tibet me

65:43
artist traveling so I tell her it was
65:46
all for Gosselaar if I don't spread the
65:49
gospel many other people would answer
65:52
his call but God has planted the seat in
65:55
my heart he called me and gave me
65:58
definition and responsibilities and I
66:01
can refuse to follow his will
66:26
this courageous girl grew up in a small
66:29
town but spent most of her youth in
66:32
caves and in jail there was a lot of
66:35
pain and also a lot of joy de- you know
66:40
gossip has cleaned me onto this path I
66:43
was weak I was lost but I have never
66:47
regret my choice today Jang Jin Eun and
66:51
her husband are in charge of training
66:53
missionaries for house church activities
66:56
more and more people including their
66:59
families have begun to understand and
67:01
support them with the company of your
67:04
love we will keep following your
67:06
footsteps to the end of our life since
67:10
the 1980s in mainland China tens of
67:13
thousands of devout Christians like Jang
67:16
Jin Eun have dedicated their lives for
67:20
the world
67:21
from 1981 on I completely devoted myself
67:25
to this past and after my hometown with
67:28
several other girls and went by bicycle
67:30
now food to more than 10 counties nearby
67:33
in every village we talk to people we
67:36
met on the street many of them were
67:38
really interested they never saw the
67:40
group of girls spreading the gospel a
67:42
lot of sick people were healed by the
67:45
power of her prayers every time we
67:47
traveled tens of thousands of people
67:50
became followers of Jesus this is how we
67:53
establish the cost churches conquer
67:55
service again in the beginning there
67:57
were miracles in every village we
67:59
visited many missionaries were gifted
68:01
with the power of healing we were able
68:04
to heal the sick with a touch of our
68:05
hands
68:08
sinister giggle we will visit a new
68:11
village we would say in the yards of
68:13
farmhouses
68:14
many neighbors would drop by just out of
68:16
curiosity we would teach them about
68:19
Jesus
68:20
then if the villages said they would
68:22
accept the gospel we were kneel and pray
68:24
together
68:25
funny unquote you every time there was a
68:28
celebration a wedding or a funeral we
68:31
would beat our drums and strike our
68:32
gongs to spread the gospel we used to
68:39
put on plays skits dances or tell Bible
68:42
stories in order to spread the gospel
68:47
none be applied or integer your king
68:51
that lies young Samuel good night
68:55
dreaming we spread the gospel on buses
69:02
trains and in the streets we knocked on
69:06
every villagers door we went into their
69:09
homes and told them all about the good
69:11
news what is the gospel
69:14
sit down please everybody sit down book
69:17
digital we visited every corner of our
69:19
local area and spread the word after it
69:22
was established locally we traveled to
69:24
other cities and prophets in this
69:25
fashion we've been to Xiang ji who binds
69:29
Ninjago Daniel essence back in 1980 and
69:33
1981 that was the golden era for Wenzhou
69:36
house church right from the remote
69:39
regions of Xin chà o from the desolate
69:41
land in the northeast from the Papa with
69:44
a massive gathering the Holy Spirit came
69:46
down upon us with abundance then in 1981
69:51
the government re-established the
69:53
three-self Church the good times were
69:56
over as soon as the government
69:58
reestablished the three-self Church
70:00
house churches became illegal than it
70:03
was forbidden to spread the gospel in
70:06
1983 the government gave orders to
70:09
arrest a group of Christians who they
70:11
labeled as the gang of agitators what I
70:16
would believe I was arrested because
70:17
they said I belong to the gang of
70:19
agitate
70:20
what on earth did I enter Tate for did I
70:22
incite people to overthrow the communist
70:24
regime did I announced that I was
70:26
against the one-child policy I would not
70:28
complain if I had but all I did was
70:31
shout Christ is Lord and for that I was
70:33
convicted of anti revolutionary
70:35
activities and thrown in jail for 15
70:38
years this former Red Guard leader found
70:42
understanding and comfort in Christ
70:44
Jesus didn't do anything wrong but he
70:47
was crucified on the cross I didn't do
70:49
anything wrong either during the
70:51
Cultural Revolution I was a fighter and
70:53
a destroyer of lives but I was treated
70:56
as a hero now I am a righteous man but
70:59
I'm considered criminal unfallen
71:10
everyone who has been jailed for
71:11
speaking the truth please stand and come
71:13
forward being thrown in jail is such a
71:16
common occurrence that these faithful
71:19
brothers and sisters are quite
71:21
comfortable talking about their
71:22
experiences into the Roesel people the
71:27
persecution never stops there are always
71:30
some of us locked up some have been in
71:32
and out of jail more than 10 times right
71:35
now we have 14 members in jail and 21
71:39
key members are on the government's
71:40
wanted list from one central authority
71:42
we have all suffered in jail to
71:45
different degrees there are about 40 of
71:47
us three members were arrested recently
71:50
and they are still in jail but in Ashley
71:54
Hall you'll be by the chair did you all
71:57
alone Sun God since the government
71:59
started crackdown the church in Kirby
72:01
all the active members have become
72:03
wanted criminals when they came to my
72:05
home to arrest me I wasn't there so they
72:08
took my father instead they openly
72:11
shared what went through their minds
72:13
when they were caught
72:14
so should we die to tell you the truth I
72:19
was a little scared but God gave me
72:22
strength to overcome my fear so I guess
72:25
you could say I was well prepared but
72:27
yeah
72:28
it could be that help please I see and
72:32
that is suddenly the cops burst in to
72:34
arrest me but thank God after I was
72:36
handcuffed I calmed down and thought to
72:38
myself you're going to have to spend a
72:39
few more years in jail so just let it be
72:42
I felt very relieved ragazzo after we
72:45
were arrested with what fear was joy
72:47
there were more than 10 of us and were
72:50
singing hymns and the police car the
72:52
policemen shout why are you singing you
72:55
have just been arrested we reply because
72:57
we got a free ride she I tried to escape
73:05
arrest but injured herself and is now
73:08
handicapped Paris Alfonso salad I caught
73:13
up to the roof to escape but you might
73:16
be made there was a policeman on guard
73:19
while we were struggling he forced me
73:23
right to the edge of the roof then he
73:26
pushed me off when I landed I didn't
73:29
feel any pain but I couldn't stand up I
73:33
cry out to the sister help me help me
73:37
she came back and tried to pull me up
73:40
but just I couldn't my leg was broken
73:44
[Music]
73:53
some services add to this I'd lost all
73:56
my inner peace Christian occupation
73:59
why don't a police arrest real criminals
74:02
and leave as Christian alone later I
74:05
pray for that policeman he didn't know
74:07
what he was doing just as gold can
74:11
endure refining in the hottest fire true
74:14
believers in God can shine through the
74:16
deepest darkest jinsha the friend of

74:40
next day everyone cried except me but
74:44
after they left I did go through a lot
74:46
of struggle in my heart all the lush
74:49
treasures are there but then you saw a
74:50
male finally I said to the guard the
74:53
truth is that I didn't commit crime she
74:56
agreed when I said I'm innocent

75:03
I would follow the wrong path

75:38
the cross and the Bible but when I was

generation after generation Chinese
81:33
missionaries have struggled along a path
81:35
that leads to the cross the Chinese
81:39
government refuses to acknowledge them
81:41
and China's huge population doesn't
81:44
understand them around every corner
81:47
these missionaries encounter suffering
81:50
and imprisonment yet with no remorse and
81:54
no regrets they keep on their difficult
81:57
task
82:01
more foolish illegal ni 10 my father
82:05
passed away when I was born my mother
82:07
died when I was only 3 years old before
82:10
I was 11 I never had a pair of shoes or
82:13
anyone to take care of me
82:15
it was a very painful life I couldn't
82:18
understand why I was born with such a
82:20
bad fate why was I born without parents
82:23
who cared for me how come other people
82:25
had good lives and I didn't if there was
82:28
a God why didn't he help this poor
82:30
suffering soul finally one day I was
82:34
desperate and ready to commit suicide
82:37
but I heard a group of people singing
82:40
with Zhang Jian Hui was one ye know it
82:43
was a cold bleak night and I wondered
82:45
who on earth would find anything to sing
82:48
about so I walked towards the house
82:51
someone saw me and called out isn't that
82:54
the homeless child that has no family
82:56
they took me inside my child believed in
83:01
Jesus he is the only one who can save
83:03
you they said then some elderly ladies
83:05
taught me how to kneel and pray they put
83:08
their hands on my head and prayed for me
83:10
with tears in their eyes that night I
83:14
accepted Jesus Christ into my heart
83:17
when the police in tangu County found
83:20
out that there was a 14 year old boy who
83:22
had become a Christian they started
83:24
searching for me after hiding in a pit
83:27
for seven days I became really hungry
83:29
and exhausted so I climbed out of the
83:32
pit to get a breath of fresh air Just My
83:35
Luck that a policeman happened to be
83:37
passing by he arrested me there and then
83:41
you are so young but already you're an
83:44
anti revolutionary he said they
83:47
denounced me they tortured me and he
83:49
starved me but I thought to myself Jesus
83:53
must be the way of truth otherwise why
83:56
is the great Communist Party so serious
83:58
about it even a homeless teenager like
84:01
me is seen as a threat Jing the orphan

dokoni saniana Hyoyeon Johanna shocked
87:20
more than once while enduring endless
87:23
torture and extreme hardship many
87:26
missionaries raised questions to God he
87:31
answered their prayers in various ways
87:33
and without exception all the
87:36
missionaries found inner peace was akin
87:39
to a dog what are the junior Queen I
87:41
pray to God to give me the answer and he
87:43
said to me I can tell you nothing that's
87:46
my strongest memory because it was
87:47
during the darkest hours of my life and
87:49
God wouldn't answer me later I said to
87:52
God even though you won't give me the
87:55
answer I still accept all this with
87:57
gratitude after I did that my dark
88:00
spiritual life was completely
88:02
illuminated and revived much more once
88:06
like that one I told the law that I was
88:08
sprayed of going back to prison if I
88:10
were jailed again it would be the
88:12
eleventh time I told God that I had
88:15
enough of jail I was terrified my body
88:18
couldn't take it anymore
88:19
watching gayness I mean I heard a
88:21
heartbreaking cry it was from Christ
88:23
himself he cried out father why hath you
88:27
forsaken me I heard his word so clearly
88:30
they flew from the cross directly into
88:33
my head and all at once I understood why
88:36
Jesus wept but only 10k essentially
88:39
there and then I felt strong again I
88:42
realized that the Lord had not abandoned
88:45
me he wanted me to experience the cross
88:48
es Lea tota me and Carl Mullaly Jesus
88:52
told us if anyone would come after me he
88:54
must deny himself and take up his cross
88:57
and follow me
88:58
so tell Korra what mean either yeah hey
89:01
you know what did I tell you attend
89:03
those I don't have any hard feelings for
89:05
what I went through
89:07
Sampath our Lord Jesus walked down since
89:10
the very first day I became a missionary
89:12
I knew this path was the path across I
89:15
was more than willing to take it no
89:18
matter what I have suffered
89:19
I have never blamed God Thank You Ike I
89:22
made the decision to follow God God
89:25
found me and loved me what I went
89:28
through was all from God and I am filled
89:31
with joy the government's persecution is
89:33
no big deal it's just a way of showing
89:36
me God's blessing that's all
89:41
[Music]
90:02
[Applause]
90:05
religion and politics must be separate
90:09
you constantly believe in this principle
90:12
many Chinese Christians refused to
90:14
attend the government-controlled
90:16
three-self Church their house churches
90:19
and missionary work are considered
90:22
illegal by the government local
90:25
government officials can arrest and find
90:27
them under national laws that regulate
90:29
religion therefore meeting and preaching
90:33
in secret has become the only way
90:35
Chinese Christians can survive
90:43
however the degree of succession varies
90:46
in China churches in window were the
90:50
first to revive after the Cultural
90:52
Revolution but most of the church
90:54
buildings are destroyed
90:58
[Music]
91:14
churches and xenon were revised later
91:17
but there are more martyrs and jailed
91:19
Christians there than anywhere else
91:27
other Chinese Christians do not oppose
91:30
the government they're considered
91:32
illegal because they will not renounce
91:34
their faith they live righteously and
91:36
faithfully under tyrannical rule the
91:40
Chinese authorities are completely
91:42
mystified by the increasing number of
91:44
house churches coming butcher Dalmatian
91:58
tarnish they don't understand they have
92:00
no idea what we have been doing so they
92:03
call us anti-revolutionary in fact I
92:06
think they know in their hearts that
92:08
we're not anti-revolutionary among
92:11
gangaiah do the same for the NT we think
92:13
that the reason the government tries so
92:14
hard to suppress us is because they
92:16
don't understand what Christianity is
92:18
about it's a misunderstanding we don't
92:22
hate the government the only wish we
92:25
have is for everyone on earth to feel
92:27
God's love to receive God's love then
92:31
bottom would outweigh by the opponent
92:32
unzoom
92:33
through all our hardship is that God is
92:36
training and preparing and building his
92:39
church in China it is a blessing for the
92:41
Chinese Church we are praying for our
92:43
leaders in China and also for those who
92:46
suppress us we wish them well the
92:49
weather come on honey olan that sound
92:52
beyond a hiding doll we've been telling
92:56
our brothers and sisters that we should
92:57
show respect to every member and branch
92:59
of the government it's God's commandment
93:02
to respect authorities in China however
93:05
Christians are not understood in this
93:07
way are they here for the new disease
93:10
got you some typing Cheng hua ji ya que
93:14
intentan de aquila not okay - more than
93:17
they seen the worst in Chinese history
93:20
as the Taiping rebellion and the opium
93:24
war damaged people's trust the
93:28
government suppressed us because they
93:30
are afraid now they don't understand our
93:33
true belief therefore as Christians in
93:38
this country I think we should pray for
93:40
our country's leaders and for everyone
93:43
in authority Lord we are willing to risk
93:48
our lives in order to save our beloved
93:50
country of China long wait a moment Lord
93:53
we ask you to bless our beloved country
93:57
please bless this country with your
93:59
hands please bless this nation with your
94:02
hand you have shed your blood for the
94:05
Chinese people we thank you for bringing
94:06
us your gospel and salvation in these
94:09
last times we thank you for opening the
94:12
door to your gospel in China your mouth
94:17
has come to us it has come to the land
94:20
of China you have loved our country and
94:23
people since the beginning of time many
94:26
people in China deny you they don't
94:28
recognise you they worship all kinds of
94:31
idols Lord today we repent for our
94:35
country Lord please withhold your anger
94:40
[Music]
94:48
person whose heart loves God also loves
94:51
his country and his fellow human beings
94:54
a person who is willing to carry the
94:57
cross is full of mercy such people may
95:01
be badly mistreated but they still feel
95:04
sweet with love they may be imprisoned
95:07
but their hearts are free they may be
95:10
despised but are full of gratitude
95:13
telling Elaine ages young Horace any
95:16
God's Spirit and his mighty power have
95:18
been with me over the years to tell you
95:21
the truth I did go through a little
95:23
suffering for him I was homeless at one
95:26
time since I started following him I've
95:29
gained so much despite all the hardships
95:32
God's path is still very sweet to me as
95:43
soon as that pudding a but you're the
95:45
cool part I don't feel pain when having
95:47
pain I don't feel hungry when I'm hungry
95:49
I don't feel alone when I'm pursued and
95:52
put in prison
95:53
I don't feel depressed after I cry I
95:55
feel sweet my whole life has been saved
95:58
by God's love
95:59
then I wish they'd only put us in again
96:02
without God's love nobody can give up
96:05
worldly possessions and be his servants
96:07
Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross
96:10
for us all we are bound by his love and
96:13
have no choice but to follow in his
96:15
footsteps one Google consider yes
96:19
suspecting that she's attached I can
96:22
picture the expression of pain on Jesus
96:25
face when he will occupy on the cross I
96:29
will never forget what it says in the
96:33
Bible and the curtain of the temple was
96:36
torn in two
96:39
it did not do it for himself

100:23
because of the cross
100:24
[Music]
100:35
the answers all lie in Jesus he was
100:40
nailed to the cross because of his love
100:42
for man and he was resurrected three
100:45
days later today he is living in heaven

114:56
growth of the nation is mirrored only by

the steep decline of morality and

116:35
dinner with a friend I told him I wanted
116:37
to know about the Bible and Christianity

he told me he knew a Christian and made
116:42

hard struggle but inside me I felt a
117:13
source of strength that was helping me
117:15
all the way my belief has greatly
117:19
changed my life there was a time when I
117:22
really wanted to get back all the money
117:23
the cars and the houses I'd lost but now

117:42
greatest joy in my life my family has
117:45

118:14
yo yo liya you have no idea how he was
118:18
before she was one of those so-called
118:20
transfers lobbying street fighting and
118:23
doing the worst things you can imagine
118:25
Dola hey dog alwah if a fun had plum
118:30
chicken he and his gang would steal them
118:32
at night they would break the necks of
118:35
the chickens even when I got home
118:37
yeah Anna Gazzola who is either Dollard
118:40
shit well if I saw a young girl I wanted
118:44
I would go straight to her mother and
118:46
threaten her for whatever my name I
118:48
ended up she was always Christmas he
118:51
never talked with us wearing will people
118:53
fight with somebody he could never pass
118:55
a young girl without feeding her up he
118:58
says very yet only God's power could
119:01
change such a man shouldn't we be
119:03
thankful to God so this is I believe in
119:06
Jesus Christ and today I would like to
119:08
introduce the Lord to you people in
119:12
China know very little about
119:14
Christianity many think of it as nothing
119:17
more than a superstitious belief or an
119:20
unwelcome import from Western culture or
119:24
a social force in reality the birth of
119:30
Christ has only one purpose it is to
119:33
redeem his people from sin today the
119:38
gospel is cleansing and purifying all
119:41
the sins in the hearts of the Chinese
119:43
people like a clear spring of living
119:46
water without a prince over his door
119:48
fuck oh I was a big-time gangster
119:51
I owned a casino and I was a loan shark
119:55
later I became addicted to drugs and
119:58
lost every penny I had
119:59
I tried to put about twenty times but I
120:03
just couldn't
120:03
huh one day my mother said to me son
120:07
believe in Jesus I'm kind of passively I
120:11
said okay mom I try how's it - yes a lot
120:14
she took my hand and started praying
120:16
Jesus my lord I thank you now my son has
120:21
going to follow you I have brought him
120:23
before you please help me I will give my
120:27
life to you
120:28
if you save him more your new power is
120:31
sounding nice evening
120:33
well then what's in a million I was
120:35
deeply touched by her prayer so I said
120:38
all right
120:39
I'd like to repent all my sins in about
120:44
a half hour I fell asleep when I got up
120:47
the next morning I felt a new strength
120:50
inside of me I had no idea what the
120:52
strength had come from several years
120:55
have gone by and since that day I never
120:57
gambled
120:57
I still don't know where that strength
121:00
came from him it had to have come from
121:02
right
121:04
[Music]
121:15
and apparently Comanche we share
121:19
knowledge when I was having dinner one
121:21
day with some of the former police
121:22
chief's I told him I needed to pray
121:25
before eating I told him how Christ had
121:28
saved me one of them said it took that
121:30
long if you'd been save earlier we
121:33
wouldn't have had all this chaos in our
121:35
country why don't you bring your old
121:37
buddies to Jesus please help them I'll
121:40
support you I said praise the Lord why
121:44
don't you join us
121:51
don't worry though I don't remember what
121:55
we're hoping up in the Bible at a time
121:57
all I remember was they asked me if I
122:00
had any questions I said I don't know
122:03
how to love it was true I could
122:06
understand what I wasn't loved when I
122:08
tried so hard to love others I was
122:12
having trouble with my boyfriend I was
122:14
heartbroken so I started going out with
122:17
anybody who asked me yet I never felt
122:21
loved there were two Christian girls in
122:24
my dorm they asked me if I would accept
122:26
the Lord and I agreed to try and they
122:30
said let us learn about the love of God
122:32
together historically the concept of
122:39
repentance has never been part of
122:42
China's belief system it's a completely
122:45
revolutionary spiritual experience for
122:48
Chinese people when they discover that
122:51
we are altered and we have all fallen
122:54
short of God's glory what a miraculous
122:57
change for a Chinese man or woman to
123:00
finally admit they are sinners and need
123:03
forgiveness and baptism from God
123:05
[Music]
123:11
we have a cargo had it covered I used to
123:15
be a drunk after I became a Christian I
123:17
quit smoking and drinking altogether
123:18
sometimes when I fight with my wife I
123:21
feel like swearing but somehow the
123:23
curses just won't come out of my mouth
123:25
anymore services dadada the ho or
123:29
authors year the last time we fought I
123:32
lay in bed for two days and night
123:33
without eating or drinking water I
123:35
thought to myself I might as well try to
123:39
believe in Jesus if it works we'll spend
123:42
the rest of our lives together
123:43
if not I'll give a divorce him or kill
123:46
myself why or neva I have orders to
123:50
suffer for that II really agree which
123:52
means six years since we became
123:54
Christians now we get along pretty well
123:57
oh man oh boy yeah
124:01
a Christian doesn't swear fight steal or
124:03
Rob ken there's a good life without
124:05
faith in God the amazing thing is that
124:10
no matter who you are whether you're a
124:13
farmer and intellectual you're from a
124:16
broken family or live in the underbelly
124:18
of society you can live a new life once
124:22
you come to Jesus it was all worth $1
124:25
all their reserves sometimes I felt
124:28
discouraged when I prayed about him he
124:31
didn't seem to change at all in fact I
124:33
fell he was getting worse and worse
124:35
Paulo so I hustle hustle has negative
124:38
way Paul confessed to being a great
124:41
sinner in ways I felt that I was too in
124:45
the Unbearable Lightness of being
124:47
Sammis Milan Kundera mentioned that
124:49
there are two kinds of men one finds the
124:52
virtues of all women in one woman the
124:55
other finds the virtues of one woman in
124:57
all women I chose to be the latter I'm
125:02
dealing with that you can use innocence
125:03
I'm find him pull out Selenia and you
125:05
don't make good I fell into a deeper and
125:07
deeper traps I was a big sinner not only
125:11
was I destroying the life of my faithful
125:13
wife yes but I was also deceiving myself
125:15
that's numbing my own
125:17
but I still couldn't get out of the trap
125:20
I thought I could deal with all the
125:22
affairs I was having at the same time
125:24
but it was really exhausting that later
125:28
on I thought divorce might be a shortcut
125:30
a better way out I kept screaming for
125:33
divorce but I knew I didn't have the
125:36
guts to do it is a how zhilie would tell
125:40
with all of that Cynthia was Alina was
125:43
wondering that too three hours I had to
125:46
endure all kinds of verbal abuse from
125:49
him but God gave me the strength of
125:51
patience the kind of patient I never had
125:55
before I became a believer when my
125:57
husband attacked me
125:59
I just find a quiet corner and prayed
126:02
yes God helped to change him - loses her
126:06
soul before she found faith in Jesus she
126:09
always assumed that I was lying even
126:11
when I wasn't after she became a
126:14
Christian she became very trusting all I
126:17
had to tell her was I needed to go out
126:20
and she'd say all right gradually I
126:24
stopped lying to her because I didn't
126:27
want to be unworthy of her trust
126:29
you know after I converted you I found
126:33
peace within myself there's nothing
126:35
worth getting England literally do you
126:38
so wait adult a party not hosted it'll
126:41
be sometimes I purposely tried to
126:43
provoke a fight
126:44
but to my surprise instead of fighting
126:47
with me she would go into the kitchen or
126:49
the bathroom to pray I said to myself
126:53
this is impossible this girl doesn't
126:57
have strength like that had a friendship
127:00
for when he got angry I kept quiet I
127:03
prayed and asked the Lord to calm him
127:06
down
127:06
to my surprise slam on him and enjoyment
127:10
me out little by little poof then it
127:13
died I heard him side and then come over
127:17
to comfort me how grateful I was to the
127:22
Lord
127:22
this was God's Word it was right there
127:27
when she prayed for me she was often in
127:30
tears one
127:31
de God told us restrain your eyes from
127:33
tears he will return from the land of
127:35
the enemy flesh aha April 10 1998 it was
127:40
our wedding anniversary
127:42
touch away that was out that evening she
127:46
had a church gathering
127:47
I offered to drop her off because
127:49
Beijing was dangerous at night I thought
127:52
I'd wait outside till the meeting was
127:53
over and then I just caught her home but
127:56
I was brought inside immediately and
127:58
seated at the very front when we got
128:01
home I told my wife that I'd like to
128:03
pray but didn't know how she took me to
128:06
the bathroom and we knelt down she asked
128:09
me to repent so I did she told me she'd
128:12
never seen me crying out loud like that
128:15
before
128:15
whatever it was the first time I saw him
128:18
cry and repent at first he was sobbing
128:21
later he started cry out loud what did
128:25
it kid I felt the sky had turned into a
128:27
huge book in front of my eyes
128:29
after I repented for a sin recorded on a
128:32
particular page that page would be
128:34
turned to the next one I remembered
128:36
things I'd long forgotten it was
128:38
miraculous
128:39
if I hadn't decided to follow Jesus
128:41
Christ at that time I might have ended
128:44
up dead
128:45
oh yeah I'd also mention I didn't
128:48
realize what a new life will receive
128:51
until with those accepting God we're so
128:54
grateful to the Lord and I said hey you
129:03

129:05
our time you know really now we have a
129:08
very good communication she understands
129:11

129:19

129:22
she's not hard to talk to and she needs
129:24
my love so much and I feel that with her
129:27
as the only woman to love in my life I
129:30
am complete one time I told her I felt
129:33

devotion and sacrifice love is sacred
138:58
in a world of selfishness these faithful
139:02
followers of Christ are willing to
139:04
follow the example of Christ's sacrifice

139:14
what's missing in China is love the
139:17
universal love that comes from our Lord
139:19
Jesus tonight just nice view from the
139:23

139:49
today humanity is the main problem of
139:52
Chinese society I think Chinese have
139:55
lost the ability to love this is very
139:57
sad and dreadful China's intellectuals
140:02
have begun to discuss and pursue the
140:04
love of Christ in their own unique way
140:08
Roger Oakland many consider me a harsh
140:11
critic of our society however this is
140:15
only one part of me was in the semilunar
140:17
you go on there - Ginny was if there's
140:21
another part closer to my true self such
140:24
as love pity and compassion those
140:27
qualities come from my understanding and
140:29
study of the Bible and Christianity 95
140:33
percent of Americans say they believe in
140:36
God and I'm one of them for sure a fool
140:40
when President Bush talked about
140:42
September 11th in his speech during his
140:44
visit to China he had tears in his eyes
140:46
the host of the meeting and also the
140:49
students who were there should have
140:50
expressed concern and compassion about
140:52
the catastrophe I'm sad to say that no
140:55
questions or remarks were made I believe
140:57
they simply didn't feel the pain because
141:00
they don't have God's love in their
141:02
hearts they can't feel others pain as
141:04
their own all they cared about was the
141:07
possible
141:08
between China and Taiwan freedom of
141:10
religion is not something to be feared
141:13
to be welcomed because faith gives us a
141:17
moral core and teaches us to hold
141:21
ourselves to high standards to love and
141:25
to serve others finally or a song being

145:06
love of God

[Applause]
147:04
many brothers and sisters often ask me
147:08
how I became a Christian in fact God has
147:11
been guiding me all the time
147:13
it came naturally I didn't experience
147:16
many ups and downs or go through much
147:19
suffering I'm in a profession where Fame
147:23

147:25

147:38
course offers are not always clean even

147:51
God's Word all the time I have a strong
147:54
personality but I know I'm still a child
147:57
of God it's not that you don't leave him
148:01

148:04
always there to help me get back on my

pleasures Leila say in the gun show

nothing should be new for a 40 year old
148:24
because I have experienced so much in
148:27
life but for me somehow everything is
148:30
always fresh I wonder why I'm like this
148:34

148:38
passion in my acting Mullen the passion
148:41
comes out fully t-shirt such a done only

for more than six months he would go to
149:49
church every Sunday and argue about
149:51
whether God exists
149:53
[Music]
150:00
it weren't them man Sandra no but I
150:03
realized faith was a move I had to make
150:05
on my own it's like a person who hears
150:08
from others that an apple tastes good if
150:11
he keeps on analyzing its composition
150:12
without taking a bite and he or she will
150:15
never know the truth tastes of an apple
150:17
so I told myself just believe it well I
150:21
know it's wrong charger a large
150:22
all-nighter ago I went to one of the
150:24
best high schools in Channel 9 KY high
150:27
school in Kent England after that and
150:29
went to one of the top universities in
150:31
China
150:31
Ching hua university because of my
150:33
academic success I was really big headed
150:36
I love to ask tough or unusual questions
150:39
it's called reasoning but really it's
150:43
the fifth Street one thing that greatly
150:45
influenced my decision to become a
150:47
Christian was my first prayer before I
150:50
open my mouth I felt very uncomfortable
150:53
once I started somehow I calm down right
150:56
away my questions didn't bother me
150:59
anymore
150:59
it won't resolve but I stopped thinking
151:02
about them I became a very happy person
151:04
my wife and I joined the gospel meetings
151:07
around the same time and we accepted or
151:09
at the same time too
151:11
every night we study the Scriptures
151:12
together we take turns reading them
151:15
aloud and then pray together audaciously
151:18
physics is an experimental science I
151:22
felt I had to meet God before I could
151:25
believe in him one day it sister told me
151:29
actually you may try praying to God when
151:33
you have problems so I did this a few
151:35
times and God did listen Jesus end of
151:39
Haiti since the may 4th movement of 1911
151:43
reason and science have had supreme
151:46
status among Chinese intellectuals what
151:49
kinds of questions the Christian
151:51
scholars think about poor future others
151:54
everybody knows one plus one equals two
151:56
it's a self-evident truth no
151:58
mathematician would try to prove it it's
152:01
the premise on which other mathematical
152:03
theorems are based when I first got to
152:05
know God like many others I constantly
152:07
try to prove God's existence now I know
152:10
what I did was mean
152:12
God's existence is not something that
152:15
can be proved by human recently oh and I
152:18
thought I hear come to us fees exist we
152:21
try to synthesize a symmetrical molecule
152:23
for medical and scientific purposes our
152:28
achievements a minute compared with
152:30
God's creation the more one works in
152:33
scientific fields the more on one has
152:37
all the creator's wisdom had a
152:39
circulation woman Felicia Pete many
152:42
Chinese intellectuals are presently
152:44
studying Christian philosophy and belief
152:47
however the essence of faith is not
152:50
theory but a way of new life God is not
152:55
found through reasoning but in spirit
152:57
and in truth
152:58
we're shimmery ahora why do we live do
153:02
we really disappear after we die
153:04
I felt very troubled when I thought
153:06
about life and death so I went to
153:09
worship Buddha to find an answer but
153:11
nothing ever happened
153:13
one day I felt compelled to visit a
153:16
local church it wasn't Sunday it was
153:19
Tuesday the door was locked so they
153:22
allowed me to go inside and stay for a
153:24
while while sitting there somehow I felt
153:29
very moved not knowing why I started to
153:32
cry i sat in unknown and quite a full
153:36
pouted now you didn't Forge in your
153:40
accountant a Christian couple visited us
153:42
and took us to church during the church
153:44
meeting my sister and I both cried
153:47
uncontrollably tears were streaming down
153:49
our cheeks we didn't know why we were so
153:51
moved it was like suddenly we saw a
153:53
light it's shown through our hearts and
153:56
as a seedling craves water and sunshine
153:59
in order to thrive so does the soul lung
154:03
for the pure love of Christ in order to
154:05
tourists

154:27
him where to the doctor II don't work in

154:38
peace I come here often to pray for
154:41
world peace

People's Republic of China more than 50
155:16
years ago the size of the Christian
155:18
population in Beijing has grown from the
155:21
tens of thousands to hundreds of
155:24
thousands however the number of chapels
155:27

156:03
Chinese people educated under the
156:05
ideology of materialism may be confused
156:09
by the spiritual thirst they're feeling
156:11
their souls are longing for spiritual
156:15
awakening for the asymmetry rewarding
156:19
about some time was missing at the
156:21
bottom of my heart even though I was
156:23
working at a preschool in people's eyes
156:26
with a very good place to work
156:28
when I first worked there miss Chan one
156:31
of my co-workers told me that my
156:33
previous job at the chicken farm was
156:35
actually a better choice it was easier
156:38
to deal with kickin sand with people
156:40
after a while I realized I may have
156:43
chosen the wrong place to work because I
156:45
really didn't know how to play politics
156:47
I made good money but I fell exhausted I
156:51
told my husband that I wanted to find a
156:54
place to cry out loud he loves to tease
156:57
me he said to me jokingly you must be
156:59
sorry you marry me
157:01
I told him I didn't know why I felt so
157:03
upset I part that night her mom died the
157:10
next day
157:10
I went to miss Chan who told me about
157:12
the gospel I started to cry as soon as I
157:15
saw her at first she thought I'll have a
157:19
fight with my husband I told her I just
157:21
felt terribly depressed she said I think
157:25
it's time for you to go to church so I
157:27
went to church with her the first gospel
157:30
song I learned with is Jesus who drove
157:33
away the darkness in my heart is Jesus
157:37
who drove away to coal and fatness in my
157:40
heart
157:41
from now on I won't ask myself bitterly
157:44
why I'm walking of such a rough path Wow
157:48
who wrote a song how come it was
157:51
speaking right to me I'm not a good
157:54
singer and I go off-key all the time
157:56
then that night I send allowing miss
157:59
Chan pulled a collar off my shirt and
158:02
whispered to me so laughs where everyone
158:05
was singing off-key don't you the job it
158:07
is overall covers collision this is the
158:09
core message of Christianity is personal
158:11
salvation the key point is that your
158:15
attitude towards life will comply
158:16
you change you live in this world and
158:20
you might have all kinds of limitations
158:22
imposed on you but your spirit and
158:24
salvation exists beyond this world you
158:28
shall phone a contemporary noted scholar
158:31
has persistently thought the truth of
158:34
faith war hungry adult
158:38
I lectured in Chong Chon University last
158:40
month a student took up at the end of my
158:43
lecture and said you are Christian that
158:46
makes you not Chinese if you were
158:48
Chinese you wouldn't believe in
158:49
Christianity it's part of the Western
158:52
culture say well accepting Christianity
158:56
helps me solve questions of being human
158:58
and as I've mentioned many times the
159:01
questions of being human are above those
159:03
of being Chinese given cash what boy
159:06
Corinthian before the liberation of
159:08
China it was believed that if one more
159:10
Chinese became a Christian there will be
159:12
one fewer real Chinese in other words
159:14
you were like as Westerner however now
159:17
people believe that if one more Chinese
159:19
becomes Christian then one more Chinese
159:22
is saved in fact there is one more real
159:24
Chinese because he or she no longer
159:27

159:43
than that once before I became a
159:44
Christian nobody ever talked to me about
159:46
joining the Communist Party but the
159:49
third day after I became a Christian the
159:51
party secretary of our local branch came
159:53
to ask me to consider joining the party
159:55
I told him I was a Christian
159:58
he said well Christians aren't bad at
160:00
all there are several elderly Christians
160:03
working for me they're all very nice
160:05
people I thank the Lord in my heart that
160:08
hazel

160:15
are a communist party member I said to
160:18
her sure
160:18
the party has treated me well but I've
160:20
been receiving blessings peace and joy
160:23
since I believed in Jesus the party is
160:26
good but the Lord is better I have no
160:28
choice but to follow him when he saw
160:30
nothing we changed my mind
160:32
he asked me to resign from the party for
160:35
me this was great because now I don't
160:37
have to go through the party meetings or
160:39
pay member fees I can use all my time
160:42

struggled with myself all night and then
161:18
I asked the Lord let me get this job to
161:22

161:24
me you should stop doing it the moment
161:27
you know is wrong when I went to work
161:30
the next Monday the first thing I did
161:32
was to go straight to my manager I told
161:36
him I couldn't do it my company that
161:38
asked me to resign by then because the
161:42
Lord didn't tell me to my company Ben

161:59
life used to be like oh it's hard to
162:02
describe anyway let's just say it was a
162:04
trashy low life it was a life I
162:07
absolutely hated to see now they've been
162:10
completely changed they have become so
162:14
wonderful how can I not thank God I have
162:17
been to church four times my son always
162:19
asked me to go with you he loves me
162:22
Junia 2000 ha coming spring they can
162:26
find anyone who wanted to plant trees
162:28
for the city they had tried different
162:30
government departments but nobody wanted
162:32
to do it then there was a Christian who
162:34
gathered hundreds of brothers and
162:35
sisters gain no time at all they grabbed
162:38
their shovels and kind of all the trees
162:40
and a blink of an eye while the local
162:43
government she was making a speech to
162:45
praise them the brothers protein you
162:47
should thank the Lord so that she
162:49
thanked the Lord not the managers of the
162:55
labor camps were very happy when
162:57
Christians were brought in they would
162:59
say great now we've got some prisoners
163:01
who can be put in charge because
163:03
Christians were the most trustworthy
163:05
they were often decide jobs as keepers
163:07
of personal belongings supervisors of
163:10
other prisoners or group managers or any
163:12
jobs that required trust the prison
163:15
managers were sometimes very sad to see
163:17
that Christians leave because they were
163:19
such good people only a rowdy man pay
163:23
seventy there's in my labor camp came to
163:25
see me the day I was released they held
163:27
my hands and said well gee we wish you
163:30
could stay for three more years we don't
163:32
want to see your goal then they told me
163:34
to continue my faith after my release
163:37
that exhausted four of our cam leaders
163:40
became Christians we live together and
163:43
talk a lot before I was released they
163:45
told me if this were a bad place would
163:48
keep you here we really don't want to
163:50
let you go Commissioner Joseph the
163:55
prison managers realized that the
163:56
Christians were really good people
163:58
we were nicknamed free prisoners because
164:01
we were put in charge of the vegetable
164:03
garden and distributed the produce to
164:05
the managers Paget all humanity Amir
164:08
Johnson the police officers went so far
164:10
as to tell us that if everyone became
164:13
Christian then they will have nothing to
164:15
do see the chickens were successful in a
164:18
job to spread the gospel not only saves

164:51
in our four chapels we have prayer time
164:53

165:31
box for customers they write down their
165:34
problems and put them in the box
165:36
every week we open the box and pray for
165:40
them each hour Mikado yeah so you get
165:43
all fun we used to rely on our famous
165:45
hospitality to be the main attraction of
165:47
our business now we rely on Jesus Christ
165:50
some customers didn't know who Jesus was
165:53
after they met the Lord here they
165:55
started to go to church what makes me
165:58
happy is to see our customers at church
166:00
I know some other customers suggested we
166:02
hire Paul girls and hook up karaoke
166:04
machines in our restaurants but I told
166:06
them no way I felt very proud one day
166:10
when one of our customers called home
166:11
from our restaurant and all he had to
166:14
say to his wife was I'm at Washu ethnic
166:17
village and I'll be home late just one
166:20
simple sentence but I was very touched
166:22
he probably used to give a lot of
166:24
excuses to his wife but when he called
166:27
from my restaurant no explanations
166:29
needed and no questions asked I felt
166:31
this was a symbol of trust woman don't
166:35
is not the initial
166:37
a lot of us cried when we saw the news
166:40

sing dozens of hymns without ever taking
174:44
a rest these songs have been assembled
174:56
in what is called the scene in him most
174:59

176:36
the Chinese Church they are great
176:39

child
176:45
tell me tell me the hems way sing and
176:47
mostly from the Canon hints towards

reduction in gun horrible I think the

kid ninh hymns are cough gift to Chinese
176:54
people's what I think he was translated

176:59

Cayman him he encourages us in we're
177:08
weak he strengthens us when we lose hope
177:11
he gives us power when we need it

sometimes people misunderstand us saying
209:02
you're disobeying the teaching of the

very quiet and no one was around that's
209:48
when I sensed the Holy Spirit saying to
209:50
me you're not alone Jesus is with you no
209:55
matter how much you've been wronged and
209:56
suffered no matter where you go Jesus
209:59

were discouraged but we would never say
210:41
I would stop believing
210:43
maybe I say Lord I'd like to take a
210:47
break from sharing the gospel then you
210:49
stay home and still believe in you
210:53
truthfully
210:54

210:58
too many souls at stake
