Christians Organizing for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China
By Mimi Rothschild
As Olympic organizers in China are preparing for hosting the world at the 2008 Summer Olympics, Christian groups all across the world are planning to spread the good news of The Gospel to Olympic attendees.
Among the growing list of Christian groups are The Southern Baptists who are planning on sending thousands of volunteers to spread the word of God “through humanitarian work, sports clinics, first aid sites, and other projects.”
Despite China’s ban on foreign missionaries, Christians from all over the world are planning to attend in groups of hundreds and thousands. Millions of Chinese men and women risk imprisonment by attending the illegal underground Christian church network in China, but God has blessed China despite the government’s efforts to keep Christianity out of the country! It is not clear how many Christians currently live in China, but some experts say that the number is over 100 million.
