See The Future Christianity Growth In China

The new revolutionary movement, Christianity, could transform China and alter the political alliances and balances of the entire world, within just a few year.

"Jesus in Beijing," written by David Aikman, former Time magazine Beijing bureau chief, chronicles the increase of Christian believers at all levels of Chinese society ?including the Communist Party itself ?despite continuing persecution. Conservative estimates of the number of Chinese Christians now range upwards of 70 million out of a population of 1.3 billion, with more than 10,000 new believers being added every day. Christianity is growing so fast that by 2050 or even earlier, China could be one of the largest Christian nations in the world.

David Aikman revealed in Jesus in Beijing, that even the President Jiang Zemen has identified Christianity as the secret of the West’s success, and he wants to bring success to China.

Aikman predicts that up to a third of the vast nation's population could embrace Christian faith within the next generation, changing Asia as radically as a Christianized Roman Empire transformed the West long ago.

The DVD “Cross: Jesus in China?features interviews with Chinese Christians from many walks of life. Some have been imprisoned for extended periods, but they "are not waving their fists in protest; instead they have expressed forgiveness towards those who have persecuted them." It was produced by the California-based China Soul for Christ Foundation and directed by Yuan Zhiming, a Chinese Christian and pro-democracy advocate.

The series and the book were discussed at the high-level conference in Beijing, confirmed by Asia Harvest. It was screened for provincial leaders of the government Religious Affairs Bureau and United Front Work Department when they met recently at an annual conference in Beijing.

A policeman in Henan Province who confiscated a copy of the DVD and watched it at the local police station reportedly returned to the house church the next day, tearfully asking to be baptized.

'Not only has it led many people to believe in Christ, but it has revived the Christian brothers and sisters.... After watching it we were so encouraged and burned by the Holy Spirit's great work in China. Everyone watched it with tears, repentance and rededication to Christ.' One Church leader in Beijing said.

According to Asia Harvest: the "enormous impact" the DVD series is making in China and elsewhere.

"I think the number of believers in China has reached critical mass, and government officials are at a loss to know what to do," the observer said. "It seems everything they have tried in the past to suppress believers and stop the widespread growth of the church has only caused it to grow. It's often said that the church grows from persecutions. The story of the book of Acts is certainly happening in China. Christians there have a tremendous vision to see all of China impacted with the Gospel and then the rest of the world.
