Articles and Information on Asian Christians
and Christianity.
I decided to carry out my own
research into Asian Christianity in other parts
of the world. The following sites and articles
are what I found and give great insights into
the Christian religion worldwide and illustarte
how different it is for Christians in other
countries. Many suffer far gretaer hardships
than people from England or America will ever
know about. Bookmark this page and use for later
reading - Ive even done this myself since there
is too much to take in!!
East Asia - Christianity
Christianity
in China - The Chinese Christian church
became the world's largest Christian community
due to a massive revival dating from the early
1970s, the size of which is unprecedented in
Christendom. It is estimated that there are
now something in he region of 60-80 million
Chinese Christians, though it could be higher
- many of whom will be looking for love and
meaningfull relationships with other Chinese
Christian singles.

Until 1989 a socialist country, has tremendous
church growth. By 1990 there were only a few
Christian believers in Mongolia and no church.

population, are Christians. They worship and
meet in 170 churches and fellowships all over
the central Asian Republic of Mongolia.

Cambodia
Church History
The history of the Cambodian church is a story
of periods of growth alternating with periods
of persecution. Cambodians who have turned to
Jesus Christ from Buddhism or animism have been
accused of betraying their country. The first
Protestant missionaries arrived in 1923, but
by 1970 there were only about 700 Christians
in Cambodia. In 1965 Prince Sihanouk had expelled
all missionaries in an anti-CIA campaign. Between
1970 and 1975 missionaries were permitted to
return and the church grew to about 10,000.
Then came Year Zero. By 1979 only about 200
Christians remained alive in Cambodia. In 1990,
when the church emerged from its most recent
wave of persecution and was given government
permission to function openly, there were ten
evangelical churches in Cambodia. Today there
are over two thousand, with a total membership
of over 130,000.
