businessmen. Chinese Christian businessmen are moving into Myanmar and asking for advice on how to evangelise Buddhists. TSPM students and teaching staff are interested in genuine BTJ evangelism. House-church people have already ’emigrated” to remote parts of China for the Gospel’s sake. I was told recently of 2 families who had seyttled in a village in Xinjiang and have won some of their Uygur Muslim neighbours to Christ. A house-church evangelist I know in Yunnan has been invited to cross the border into Vietnam to do discipleship training. House-church people have moved to settle in Mongolia. Mainland Christians converted or in training abroad are catching a vision for mission. In many ways cross-cultural mission is already happening. It may be quiet and small-scale but it has great potential. If watered and allowed to grow it may develop into a major missions movement as in Korea. But if hijacked and artificially force-fed with cash from overseas, manipulated and controlled by dubious techniques it will wither and die.

It is unlikely that anyone can single-handedly stop or divert the hyped-up BTJ bandwagon from careering onwards. But it may be possible for those who agree with what I have written to develop contacts with house-church leaders and encourage them to train their people for urban evangelism and then the long-term training necessary for fruitful cross-cultural mission. We need great wisdom to discern what is of God in this very diverse BTJ movement and what is merely carnal. God is sovereign and He can work all things together for good.

中國基督徒商人正在湧入緬甸,尋求如何向佛教徒傳福音的建議。三自愛國運動委員會的學生和教職員對真正的「回歸耶路撒冷」很感興趣。家庭教會的信徒已經為了福音的緣故「移民」到中國偏遠地區。最近我聽說有兩個家庭在新疆的一個村莊定居,並帶領了一些維吾爾族穆斯林鄰居皈依基督。我認識的一位在雲南的家庭教會傳道人被邀請跨越邊境前往越南進行門徒訓練。有家庭教會的信徒已經遷往蒙古定居。在國外皈依或接受訓練的大陸基督徒正在追尋宣教的異象。在許多方面,跨文化宣教已經發生。它可能默默無聞、規模較小,但潛力巨大。如果得到澆灌和發展,它可能會發展成像韓國那樣的大型宣教運動。但如果被海外資金劫持和人為灌輸,並被可疑的手段操縱和控制,它就會枯萎死亡。

不太可能有人能夠獨自阻止或扭轉被大肆宣傳的「回歸耶路撒冷」(BTJ)潮流,使其不再繼續飛速發展。但對於那些認同我的觀點的人來說,這或許是可能的。我寫說是為了與家庭教會領袖建立聯繫,鼓勵他們培訓會眾進行城市佈道,並進行長期培訓,以便開展卓有成效的跨文化宣教。我們需要偉大的智慧來分辨在這個多元化的BTJ運動中,什麼是屬神的,什麼是純粹屬肉體的。神是至高無上的,祂能使萬事互相效力,叫愛神的人得益處。
