ICC Note:

In Communist China, where there are countless stories of Christians being beaten, tortured, and imprisoned for their faith, the Gospel is spreading like wildfire. Christian Schools are increasing and parents are begging teachers to teach their children about Jesus. Thus, students are learning Christian values and getting an education. A Purdue University study found that China is on course to become the world’s “most Christian nation” by 2030.

09/07/2016 China (Gospel Herald) – Despite the ongoing persecution of Christians in China, the Gospel continues to spread at an unprecedented rate, as an increasing number of parents are “begging” teachers to teach their children about Jesus.

Speaking to CBN News, Sean Elgut, the headmaster of Veritas Christian Academy of Virginia, revealed that Christian schools are on the rise in China. While many Chinese are atheist, or Buddhist, most parents are open to Christianity, and some even encourage their children to learn all they can about Christ.

“Chinese parents start to realize Christian education is beyond textbooks. The parents want their kids to live with faith. They are begging us to teach them about Jesus,” Elgut said.

In addition to teaching Christian values, teachers spend quality time with students in hopes of leading them to Christ: “Time is important. We want to spend more time with them, just like Jesus with His disciples. He had time for them and taught them,” Sean said.

Chinese millennials are also embracing Christianity at a dramatic rate, and two Christian converts shared how the Gospel opened their eyes to happiness and peace in an entirely new way.

“Before attending school, I knew little about Jesus. While I was attending classes, I learned so much about God and His love for His children,” Crystal Lu said. “My Christian parents are extremely happy that the Lord finally provided a way for me to know Him, too. My whole family are Christians today.”
