racial reconciliation


When we first changed our focus for reaching the U people from living in a quaint, picturesque village to living in this large city, the cultural, intellectual, trend-setting place for these people, it came with a vision of seeing the Gospel demonstrated so boldly that different ethnic groups could be unified in Christ.  

We've all heard of different groups becoming unified over common interests, common goals...  but at a society level, when have different groups, who have previously loathed and hated each other, every become unified and peaceful with each other apart from a major work of the grace?  This government wants to see "Unity".... and they're going about it in ways seem far less than inspiring or attractive.  There's not unity.  There's major pain, anger, suspicion.  

Ask for the grace of Christ to be known so profoundly that it could bring true healing, change, reconciliation for the Chinese Han majority people and the Uyghur people in this province.
