Teaching in a Communist school by day, leading a house church by night... imprisoned, escaped, and now an advocate for our brothers & sisters in China
| | The Adventures of “God’s Double Agent” | Bob Fu, founder of China Aid | | | | Imagine growing up in a poverty stricken family in Communist China, having financial and political aspirations, taking part in the Tiananmen Square protest, being labeled an “instigator of unrest” by the government, then being brought to public shame that led to despair and almost suicide. All this was the backdrop for young Bob Fu’s life, and it became the means that led him to open his heart to the living God. Upon coming to Christ, Bob Fu’s life only became more adventurous! As told in his book God’s Double Agent, he became a teacher in the communist schools by day and a leader in the underground church by night. After he and his wife were thrown into prison for “illegal religious activity,” God miraculously made a way for them to escape China. His burden for his persecuted brothers in China led him to start ChinaAid—an organization that brings help and awareness to those who are being persecuted in China. Bob Fu is now one of the leading voices in the world for persecuted faith communities in China. |

| God can use any voice to call us to salvation. However, to continue hearing His voice we must be His sheep. “My sheep hear my voice” (John 10:27). We become a part of God’s family by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the word of faith that is spoken of in Scripture. If we are to hear the voice of God, we must first recognize what His voice sounds like. | | | |

| A man whose long, exhausting search to be sure he was right with God came to a glorious close by resting in Christ’s finished work! On October 31, 1517, he nailed his famous Ninety-five Theses to the doors of the church in Wittenberg, ushering in the Reformation. This fall, spend some time appreciating Martin Luther’s bold steps and great sacrifices to lift the darkness that prevented almost all of Europe from having true faith built on God’s Word. | | | |
