My Japanese pastor went to China recently to try to contact the "Christian underground" there. As many of you know, China requires Christians to worship at the state sponsored church, which is closely monitored by China.

He met the underground in a tea house on the outskirts of Shanghai. The movement of Christianity is huge and noone knows the true numbers of Christians there, because there is little or no network and China throws people even suspected of Christianity in jail for torture. One of the biggest challenges for the Chinese christian community is GETTING A PERSON WHO CAN READ THE BIBLE. Many people outside the cities desperately want the Bible read to them, but have no one who can do it.

"Many people outside the cities desperately want the Bible read to them, but have no one who can do it."

Do you refer to a lack of bibles, or is it a literacy issue?
