Romans 10:13-14
(13) for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (14) How can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
Verse 13 ends with a great promise. Then verse 14 presents the problem. God accepts and saves every person that calls upon him… BUT there are still so many people who have never heard of Jesus or his love for them.
Recently I was in Shanghai, China I was blown away by how big the city was. Shanghai is a city of about 25 million people. The vast majority of the people have never heard of Jesus Christ. The Gospel that we often take for granted is relatively unknown to the average person in China.
No one knows the actual numbers, but I think it would be safe to assume that 9 out of every 10 people that you’d meet would have no clue who Jesus is. In a city of 25 million, you can do the math, that is a huge number of people who are living without hope.
Kids Worship has an open door into China. We are translating the gospel stories into Chinese and distributing the material to educate and evangelize Chinese children. This work has great potential to spread through multiple channels into China. We are connected to the underground church and we have had the material approved for printing and distribution in the public registered churches as well.
Help us give this nation and it’s children the chance to “call upon him”. None of these donations are paying operating costs. All of the funds turn directly into ministry materials. Please help us as we try to make Jesus famous in China.
