I. Purpose

The journal "Gospel! Culture! Kingdom!" primarily explores strategies and methods for implementing the "Threefold Vision" in Chinese and global churches. Published irregularly in the first year, we welcome submissions from:

  • Church leaders both within and outside of China
  • Missionaries with first-hand experiences in missions to China
  • Researchers
  • Theological educators
  • Pastors
  • Missionaries sent abroad by Chinese churches
  • Business professionals engaging in missions

If you are a believer with meaningful insights into the “Threefold Vision,” we also warmly welcome your contributions.

II. Content Solicited

  1. Evangelization of China: We welcome multi-faceted research on the lives and spiritual condition of the Chinese people, especially regarding:
  • Their mental states
  • Collective consciousness
  • Spiritual traumas
    We aim to explore how to deepen evangelism, moving from external social aspects to biblical inner healing and renewal.
  1. Kingdomization of Church: We encourage the exchange of experiences, challenges, and the exploration of diverse ministries from both churches within China and global churches, including:
  • Pastoral care
  • Missions
  • Theological education
  1. Christianization of Culture: our aim is to distinguish the nuanced, but fundamental differences between:
  • Christianization of Chinese culture
  • Sinicization of Christianity

We invite reflection on how traditional Chinese and Communist cultures influence churches in China, and through this reflection, we seek biblical pathways for cultural reconstruction and spiritual renewal.
We look forward to your contributions.
