My Thoughts on Christianity While In China

There are so many beliefs that I carried into China with me. I did not think that religion was encouraged and evidently in order to be apart of the Communist Party one must declare publicly to be an atheist. So with this in mind I was eerie of the thought of worshiping God in a foreign that voided God out of its daily involvement. Yet, imagine my surprise when we were given the opportunity to visit a Christian church witch sat in the heart of Beijing the heart and soul of China’s Communist government. This shook me to the core and I was touched beyond understanding because I finally understood that the God I serve is omnipresent and that he exists and is worshiped everywhere regardless of the conditions. Here was a Christian Church that had been allowed to function in an atheist nation. Now I understand that their realm of influence may be small and that they are basically shutout of the political process because of their religious affiliation but the ability to bring people to Christ outweighs any earthly reward.
