Pastor Dennis Balcombe

A legend in China, Pastor Dennis Balcombe has been arrested, persecuted and thrown out but has always remained faithful to the Chinese he loves.

Balcombe ( Chinese name Bao Dening) was born in America and during the Vietnam war found his love for China.

Dennis Balcombe -- well-known for his undercover work with the house church movement -— is described as one of the "most gifted" Christians working in the mainland today. He has spent the past three decades evangelizing in China from his base in Hong Kong where his wife Kathy and two children also live.

Missionary extraordinaire to the Chinese House Church movement, Pastor Balcombe founded the Revival Christian Church in Hong Kong plus the Revival Chinese Ministries International (www.RCMI.ac) ministry.

We are glad for the Work of God that is being done in China through the ministry of Pastor Dennis. That is why we at Abundant Life Crusades are supporting the work. It has been a joy the few time we have been with them in Hong Kong in the past for ministry.

Thanks Tony and Marge, indeed, it is a privilege to work with Pastor Balcombe who is undoubtedly the apostle of China and how has helped change this country into the great nation it is today

Good question - as we know, God does in fact make himself known, we just have to receive it, asking Him for the facts and interacting with him. But I like the gist of your question, perhaps not so much why, but more how! Cool.

There is no rape of Tibetans. That is a false rumor from the Dalai Lama cult. His cult committed terrorist acts in China in the 1960's by setting off roadside bombs and landmines, killing numerous Chinese farmers and peasants. He did this as part of the CIA Operation ST Circus. You should take a college level course in Chinese history before making false uneducated "knee-jerk" comments.

It wasn't god who did it, it was the people.

@flyguyset lol so there is no tank man too? so the 1989 tianamen square massacre doesnt happen too? the revolutionary during mao zedong that kill many chinese doesnt happened too? lol ??

I have lived in China for many years. And no, I haven't been to Tibet, but I also wasn't in Nazi Germany or Poland during the holocaust.... does that mean it never happened? And as for this Dala Lama cult, that killed "numerous Chinese farmers and peasants in the 1960s".... you can't really compare that to the genocide committed by Mao Zedong of his own people - estimated at about 50 million.

God makes himself known? In the great nation that China is today?? How about the systematic rape and pillaging of Tibetans?.. not to mention other minorities in China. How about mass female infanticide? How about oppression of the most basic liberties?You are living in a bubble. Keep on preaching in your churches in Hong Kong. God never made himself known to these people.

He has his purpose. As we know He started from Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1). Why Jerusalem? Only God know. But as an Asian, if the Good News come to Asia (or Asian) first, maybe it will not reach the west, "end of the earth." :)

Why didn't god make himself known in China thousands of years ago just like he did in the Middle East. Or why not Sub Sahara Africa for that matter, or North and South America, or Australia, or Japan, or the Pacific Islands, or Europe, or Russia, or India, or every other place on Earth?
