East China: Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Zhejiang, 1 Municipality (Shanghai) Over 400 million people live here. Thank God that:

1. Over 10% are Christian.
2. Christian growth in East China has been amazing for several decades now! Every province but Jiangxi had enormous church growth, and even there the Church grows in some areas.
3. TSPM, Catholics, and especially house churches all flourish. Fujian was one of the first provinces to receive the gospel from Protestant missionaries (19th century).
4. Two of China’s largest house-church networks started in Anhui, where the Church keeps growing despite strong persecution.
5. 20% of Zhejiang is Christian, the highest of any province (likely more born-again believers live here than in any European country!).
6. Nanjing (in Jiangsu) is a key city for Christianity in China. The national seminary for the TSPM and the Amity Press (the biggest printer of Bibles) are both here. Christians from these areas, especially Zhejiang, work to evangelize other parts of China.
