Wei Pei admits to being astounded at all that God is accomplishing through the Search for Jesus Chinese ministry.
“For me, it’s like a miracle,” said the Vancouver resident, who has managed the Chinese part of this internet evangelism outreach since it began in March 2021.
The opportunity is enormous: about 1.3 billion people speak Cantonese or Mandarin, including more than 1.2 million Canadians.
In the last six months alone, 20 Chinese-speaking chat volunteers (18 of them Canadian) have had 1,600 conversations with people from around the world. We praise God for bringing 55 of those inquirers to faith in His Son, and 47 more have rededicated their lives to Christ.
One of them, Ah* in Malaysia, was struggling to keep his marriage going. He connected with a Search for Jesus volunteer and, over several weeks, came to understand who Jesus is and the gift of salvation. He prayed in repentance and faith to receive Christ. As a result, we connected Ah with a church pastor who traveled six hours by boat to meet with Ah and disciple him in his new faith.
A majority of our interactions are with people from Malaysia and Taiwan, where Search for Jesus has concentrated its outreach through advertising and a Chinese version of the ministry’s English Peace With God Facebook page.
“I’m just a servant here,” Wei emphasized. “God is really working to reach out to people on the other side of the world, who we’d normally never be able to connect with.”
