I have had an online born again Christian friend there for several years GREAT GAL So hungry to learn more, so fascinated by our technologies that can provide resources for her spiritual growth. Our churches. Our preachers and religious leaders. Yet sadly, sometimes links I send her are blocked by her government. Still, the hunger to worship a loving God and Savior transcends all.

The Chinese realize what our leaders do not (although Founders like John Adams did centuries ago):

"They believe that Christianity is responsible for much of the historic success of Western Europe and the US," says Jeynes. "Similarly, many Chinese believers see the current economic decline of the US and Europe, as a direct result of the decline of serious adherence to the Christian faith in these countries. The Chinese believe that as a result what arose was greed on Wall Street, government corruption, and greed among many people causing them to buy homes that they could not afford. China hopes that by embracing Christianity and learning from both the past success and the present failures of the US and Europe, it will be able to prosper rather than fall as a result of immorality produced by secularism."
