My mission went from 04.04 to 16.04.2018 to China. The whole process that brought me to this mission trip was truly in God’s hands and guided by him.
At first, the doors were open to go with this team to China, if you don’t know, for you go to a mission trip in your BSSM journey, you need to sign up choosing 7 different options and the teams can accept you or not. Well, and second, this mission trip had not been possible without God’s intervention, because the cost was almost $3,000 (dolars).
The selection process was as follows, you submit your wishes and the mission strip leaders with the agreement of the respective pastors then make a decision which trip was for you – My trip belonged as you can imagine it, to one of the most dangerous trips.
Before I start to tell you about this mission, however, I must inform you as a reader that no names of missionaries or churches may be open, since in there Christians are still persecuted and severely punished by the government, so this report must be written very carefully, so I ask for your understanding that I cannot go into the smallest detail on many points.
The preparations were already at the beginning very intense, because already with the request of the Chinese visa, relations must be involved, that is it must be sent from China an invitation and this must be used then together with the passports at the consulate or however a visa service.
Furthermore, we were divided into different teams, i.e. 6 teams distributed in the major parts of China, with the most different focal points: Construction of missionaries, red lights districts, churches, conferences, cities, underground and unreached areas, i.e. really remote villages, which were only possible over mountain passes and long journeys.
My team was in two different cities and our focus was to release the church, missionaries, red light and spiritual mapping, i.e. the cities from spiritual manifestations, because in Chinese culture dragons and demonic figures play a strong role and have and have a strong influence on people’s lives.
Our first stop after a 14 hours flying was a big city in China, where we were all together before the teams left for their different regions in China, with happened after two days. Meetings took place and the routes of march were determined, when who would leave.
We immediately saw what it means to be monitored by the government. Our passports went directly to the responsible police after we checked in at the hotel, because they knew from our visas in the international passports that the BSSM is not just any university but probably needs a closer look.
The next few hours we spent getting to know the local missionaries, the underground church and all the responsible leaders, which was really very interesting. We had a great and spirit-filled worship time where we shared prophetic impressions and prayers.
The next day, we all went to a panda park and looked at panda bears, that is we have and we should pass ourselves off as normal tourists. There until our communication is restricted, so we couldn’t use words like “Holy Spirit”. So it is all to protection, we wouldn’t run into danger but government officials to run into arms and if they would think we were simple crazy western tourists.
After spending two days there, we took a high-speed train to the next town, where we had the privilege to stay as a group in the hotel again. Arriving there, after a short rest and refreshing, we went on to get to know the missionaries there and to explore the neighbourhood a little bit. During a common meal in the Chinese kitchen we were allowed to dive into the great culture.
The public places are used in the evening by the locals for dancing, which has been such a great enrichment to just look at it… But, later we joined these dances and were allowed to dance them ourselves without any prevision and to be a part of millennia-old culture. – – A few months ago at school I got the prophetic word that I would and should dance and then I did. –
The next day we were relatively early on the way to the excavation place of the terracotta warriors and here God really worked hard and touched the people. Our guide complained of severe back pain that has been bothering you for years, so I asked if I could pray for it. After we prayed for her, the pain was better, but not 100% gone. So, through my experience in the healing rooms and through the voice of the Holy Spirit, I had the feeling, ask her if you can control the length of her legs. One leg was about 10 centimeters shorter than the other, so we prayed and the leg grew up. After I asked her to stand up and check how her back was doing, she was moved and started crying.
I looked because we just had to be careful in public with my leader and asked her permission and she said, “You know what you’re doing. I spoke to her about love and what Jesus Christ did for her and invited her to join our great family (prayer of surrender) and she gave her life to our Lord and was then a completely different person. I am always very careful with such important decisions the people make, because I want to be able to ensure that this person afterwards also receives support i.e. mentoring from local Christians, this is guaranteed by the missionaries and she is still there today and serves our Lord 🙂
We had a really great day there, the visit to the Terracotta Museum was very interesting. The next days were very intense, we were divided into different areas, some in our team served an underground church, in prophetic service and with healing prayer, others were in different sectors of the city and did spiritual mapping, which was totally new for me. In other words, to uncover spiritual manifestations and to have communion together in strategic places, which has also been very interesting under the given circumstances.
Furthermore, we were there and served the missionaries in the city, to whom we partner with God to give refresh their courage and strength, through strong encouragement, prayer and simply different perspectives, we prayed with them and today there is still contact with them locally.
For me, one of the best moments was dance in a public square with about 1000 Chinese. The presence of God was so strong that a buddhist saw us dancing and raised his hands to heaven and said “This God, this Jesus is real” and he began to praise and praise Him. We could still share prophetic impressions and pictures with this man and he is still very much in contact with the missionaries on site.
We have seen and experienced a lot of healings and miracles, this has been really so beautiful.
The whole mission trip was a great experience for me and I am really grateful to God for being there. He owns the honour and I thank him for everything I have experienced so far.
Loving greeting
Alex
