Born in China, Dr. Susangeline Patrick spent many years living in China. As the professor of World Christianity at Nazarene Theological Seminary in the United States, Dr. Patrick discusses the history of Christianity in Shanghai, the role of Chinese Christians, house churches, the experience of Christians during the COVID-19 pandemic, international Christian communities, urban ministry and burnout, and her research on Christianity in Yunnan.

Concerning single Christians in today's church in China, many people immediately come up with phrases such as "mid-aged single female Christians," "too few male believers," "high personal standards", or "a reluctance to commit."

In this interview, Professor Tobias Brandner discusses his book, Christians in the City of Hong Kong, offering an in-depth portrait of the diverse Christian communities in the city.

Zibu's story is a microcosm of the survival status of a generation of Chinese preachers. In a world that increasingly values immediate satisfaction and material security, Zibu's waiting is a difficult, solitary, yet powerful testimony. He stands as a question mark to the modern age: Is there still room for a faith that relies solely on God's provision?

For many first-generation Christians, stepping into a church for the first time is rarely the result of theological conviction. More often, it happens at moments of exhaustion, crisis, or quiet searching—when faith begins not with certainty, but with need.
