World Christian Ministries is an e-mail newsletter ministry. We send free e-mail newsletters to anyone who subscribes. These emphasize the struggle, passion and achievements of indigenous missionary leaders. We do that to stir up interest in--and support for--indigenous ministries in the Two-Thirds or Majority World (also called the Global South), although we do not aid or fund indigenous ministries directly. We also hope to be a forum for 21st century missions. Think of us as a paperless newspaper with a purpose. Some of our most recent articles are listed on the right.

Here's a brief end-of-the-year refresher course on Chinese human relations, and on the way they treat Christians in particular.[Read More]
Recently two stories have come to me highlighting the revivals that have occurred among China's people. These stores are published in public venues, and you may have already read one or both of them. Even so, I felt compelled to share them with you. I have also added a section on Chinese Bible schools at the end, as well as several incidents of the continued saga of ongoing persecution.

I am not on an anti-Islam tear, but there are a number of Islamic issues that are flying at my face right now, and I want to share them with you. I want to give you a follow-up to the Islam on Capitol Hill event, share a special update on Rifqa Bary, and clue you in to a sinister move at the U.N. to place Christians under Islamic dominion. I will take these in reverse order. But first, less than 24 hours ago I received this report about Maryam and Marzieh in Iran. [Read More]
