Under the Shadow of the DragonHarry Ambacher

“When China sneezes, Hong Kong gets a cold.” In the twentieth century, Communist persecution and war drove thousands of Chinese refugees to the British colony of Hong Kong. Yet God used events in China and fear of the impending Chinese takeover to bring many Chinese people in Hong Kong to salvation. From 1965 to 1999, ABWE’s ministry in Hong Kong grew from a field of three small churches to over 30 vibrant churches with Chinese pastors. Harry Ambacher describes the strategies of discipleship that were used, the partnering with nationals that drove ABWE’s church plants, and shows how God transformed the Hong Kong churches when Chinese pastors assumed leadership.
Under the Shadow of the Dragon is not only a rich meditation on the history of church planting, but a vivid introduction to life in the British colony of Hong Kong, with riveting accounts of Mao Tse-tung’s Cultural Revolution and the Beijing Massacre in Tiananmen Square.
