Since the Southern Cross project began distributing Bibles to Chinese tourists 10 years ago, close to a million Bible packets have been given away.
Bibles are difficult to obtain in China, but Chinese citizens are allowed to bring a Chinese Bible home with them from a trip abroad. So in 2001 Southern Baptists began handing out packets of Christian literature to Chinese tourists at three top vacation spots in Asia.
Southern Cross worker Greg Thomas estimates these packets, which contain a Bible, the “JESUS” film, various tracts and Christian DVDs, have reached about 8 million Chinese. Most of the Bibles taken back to China are pulled apart and passed around underground churches. The packets are also passed from one person to the next, often reaching as many as 10 Chinese from one tract.
Southern Cross needs 36 new teams to come work three different popular Chinese vacation spots in Asia.
