This 4-disc set covers the history of Christianity in China, and the incredible testimony of the 'illegal' house church movement. We are shown actual footage of dozens of Christians from all walks of life.
China is currently experiencing the most massive revival in human history, and the most severe persecution, both at the same time! The producers of this documentary, all commited Chinese Christians who are currently in the US, traveled to China to give us a first-hand view of this mighty move of God. It is full of personal testimonies of real people, who have risked their lives to be videotaped. It's completely in English (select "English" on the opening DVD screen), and professionally done in every way. I will quote from the DVD case:
[i]The documentary film "The Cross: Jesus in China" consists of 3 episodes and one short subject. It lasts about 4 hours.[/i]
[i]The first episode "The Spring of Life" recounts the rebirth that the Gospel has brought to a broad spectrum of people in modern China. Included are testimonies from farmers, students, officials, criminals, orphans, actors, writers, scientists, and entrepreneurs.[/i]
[i]The second episode "Seeds of Blood" follows the bloody footprints of the Chinese missionaries of the older generation after the Boxer Rebellion, particularly in the past fifty years. The stories of Mingdao Wang, John Sung, Watchman Nee, Allen Yuan, Samuel Lamb, Mosis Xie, Yang Xinfei, and Epaphras are covered.[/i]
[i]The third episode "The Bitter Cup abounds with compelling testimonies by missionaries of the younger generation. Their dedication, suffering, faithfulness, and thanksgiving have led to an unprecedented revival of the Chinese Christian church.[/i]
[i]The documentary short subject "The Canaan Hymns" tells the amazing story of a farm girl Xiao Min. She is a high school dropout with no musical training. nevertheless, she created nearly a thousand hymns by the power of the Holy Spirit.[/i]
The faces of our Chinese brothers and sisters radiate with the glory of God. Their tears, their love, their commitment to Christ, are overwhelming. The songs they sing are so simple and yet so moving. There are English subtitles for those portions, so that we can feel the power of their singing. My family has been radically changed, in a way nothing else has ever done.
God has often used books, tracts, and personal testimonies to spread revival fires around the globe. I feel strongly that revival will follow this DVD wherever it is shown. The quiet message builds the story powerfully in the mind. Added to the other resources available about the Chinese house churches, it will ignite a fire in the hearts of Western believers and remind us "how far we have fallen".
