China's Opening Door ― Incredible Stories of the Holy Spirit's Work in the Underground Church

A beautiful example of God's work in the world today and a call to stand strong for your faith
China is well known for its persecution of the church?persecution that has led to an incredible revival and tremendous church growth. By some estimates the church in China has as many as 100 million members. While many know about the painful suppression of the Chinese church, few realize just how open China is becoming to the incredible work of the Holy Spirit.

In China's Opening Door Dennis Balcombe highlights the tremendous move of God happening right now in the country and the amazing miracles He has performed. The book also issues a challenge: those who live godly lives will suffer persecution, and we must never be ashamed of the gospel and our faith. Persecution will even come to Western believers when they stand up for the truth. Had Dennis and these Chinese house church leaders submitted to the government's regulations, they would not have gone to prison, and there would have been no persecution. But also the tens of thousands who eventually became Christians would still be in darkness.

Dennis Balcombe was born and raised in California. He moved to Hong Kong in April 1969 and within eight months launched Revival Christian Church. Despite much opposition to Christianity, the church thrived, and after two years it had grown to 100 people. Today it has more than 700 members. Dennis has seen God perform many miracles and has also experienced the suffering of the Chinese church as he himself has been detained and imprisoned by the Chinese authorities. As the founder of Revival Chinese Ministries International, he is a sought-after speaker. Dennis lives with his wife, Kathy, in Hong Kong. They have two children and two grandchildren.
