The famously persecuted Chinese Church has increased in numbers and in faith.
Your support brings God’s word to this abundance of believers by providing resources, training pastors and translating the Bible into minority languages. It’s thanks to you that lives are changing throughout China.
How does Bible Society operate in China?
The true stories of smuggling Bibles into authoritarian countries are powerful and inspiring but the way Bible Society goes about business in China has evolved over the years.
It takes much care and thought to cultivate a trusted relationship with the Chinese authorities as a foreign religious organisation. But the result is that we are able to launch many projects in China without fear of them being shut down.
China's churches invite us to engage in Bible translation initiatives, support Bible students, and provide training for pastors and lay preachers
During the Cultural Revolution, Bibles were burned, but in 1987, with permission from the authorities, we helped establish a Bible printing press, known as Amity Press, in Nanjing
Since then, more than 90 million copies of Bibles have been printed there for distribution in China. From a banned book, the Bible became a bestseller in China

Watch Kua Wee Seng talk you through the extraordinary growth of the Church in China. He saw amazing change during his 28 years serving the Church as a Bible mission partner.
Disciple a Chinese believer
Bible studies barely exist in China because there’s nobody to lead them. Will you train a group leader today?
The Bible reveals God’s heart for you, and the more you study it, the more your heart opens up to God. Experiencing God’s word in community is a key part of the Christian life. But someone receiving Jesus in China is a lot less likely than you are to have this experience. You can open the Bible for a Chinese Christian today. The Church over there is growing every minute and urgently needs lay leaders.
