Continuing Education for Chinese Church Leaders
in China
About Our Partner
The development of Chinese pastors is important for the ongoing health of growing congregations in the Jiangsu Province because the average pastor has a congregation of 6,500 members. As part of our commitment to building the capacity of global partners, The Outreach Foundation has responded to requests from the Church in China for continuing education for their leaders in different ways. We have hosted groups of Chinese visiting U.S. churches, taken groups of American Christians to China for encounters with Chinese Christians, and participated with Chinese Church leaders as they interacted with faculty and administrators of Fuller Theological Seminary and Union Presbyterian Theological Seminary to explore innovative programs for theological education.
The Impact
Chinese leaders testify that they have developed new and broadened perspectives for their ministry through the continuing education experiences outside of China provided by this project. This partnership has also enabled groups of American Christians to get to know individual Chinese Christians one-on-one, deepening their understanding of the Church in China.
The OPPORTUNITY
The Outreach Foundation is seeking gifts to support the mission and ministry of Continuing Education for Chinese Church leaders. All gifts of any size are welcomed.
