Our Fundamental Vision: The Local, Lay Evangelist is Paramount; and Methods are Important.
† Because history has shown clearly that the growth of the Church in Taiwan and China is linked to the number of local, lay missionaries doing full-time direct evangelism work, our primary goal is to prepare and support local, lay missionaries to do full-time direct evangelism today.
† My historical research (thorough but not exhaustive) shows an average of 10-20 Baptism per year per full-time lay evangelist (for example, in the period of "miraculous" Church in Taiwan, we had 20,000 Baptism per year from just over 2,000 local, lay evangelists).
† To aid the local, lay evangelist we continually do systematic research of the methods that are working anywhere in the Chinese or non-Chinese world today, apply them in practice and then evaluate the results.
