Hong Kong and Macau are integral parts of China, though their statistics are not included here; Taiwan’s status is debated. These three are handled separately.

China remains officially atheist, and Communist Party members number well over 70 million. But the Christian population has eclipsed this number (it is also far outstripped by Chinese Buddhists). Increasing numbers of Party members are believers. Pray that the atheism promoted for so long – and now so assiduously propagated in the education system – will finally be revealed as hollow and deceptive lies. Pray also that all followers of Christ working in state structures might walk faultlessly and be a redemptive force within the government.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1970″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1973″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1972″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1971″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” inverse=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1586379820983{background-image: url(https://www.pbcplace.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/background_giving.jpg?id=507) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1473148097800{margin-top: 4.25em !important;margin-bottom: 0.15rem !important;}”][trx_section animation=”fadeInUp”][trx_title type=”2″ align=”center” css=”margin-bottom: 2px;” top=”medium”]You can help[/trx_title][trx_title type=”6″ align=”center” font_size=”1.5em” font_weight=”700″ color=”#dbb66d”]You can support the work PBC is doing in your community and around the world.[/trx_title][trx_block align=”center”][trx_button size=”medium” link=”/give/” top=”medium” bottom=”medium”]Get involved!
