After Constantine made Christianity legal in 313 AD, the faith continued to grow under the protection of the Roman Emperors. Monks started monasteries and from these centres of work and prayer, missionaries went out to convert the people of northern Europe, including Britain and Germany. In the East, the church was also growing. In 410, the Persian Church (later called the Nestorians) broke with the Roman Church and began 1000 years of missionary work in Persia, Central Asia, India, Mongolia and China.
Seems like the right guy for the job at the time. We coulda all been PAGANS!

I have read that the Nestorians took Christianity to China in the 4th-5th Centuries A.D. and were well received there.
Someday Christianity will return to China. It is only a matter of time.
