With it's emphasis on meditation, morality, ceremonial purity, peace and ethics, Buddhism appears to most Westerners to be non-threatening. But in recent decades it has experienced considerable growth in the West, claiming in excess of 1.25 billion adherents worldwide. It is the third largest religion in the world, and has become one of the fastest growing.

If you go to the Wangfujing shopping centre in Beijing then you will find it bustling with shoppers and lines with expensive stores. Taking a break from the throng you can stop for a coffee at Starbucks or have a snack at McDonalds. These are all signs of an increasing ‘westernization’ in China but behind the scenes there is also a spiritual transformation taking place.

This book is designed to help you if you have regular interaction with people from China. It looks at Chinese students in detail. Why are they in your schools and universities? Where in China do they come from and what difference does that make? What has changed in their attitude to study? What is their lifestyle likely to be like? What will they think of you?

If you meet Chinese people at work, socially or in education you will find this an invaluable tool. It is also useful for those travelling to China for work or leisure.

More than 170 years of evangelistic effort have been spent on Thailand and right now, we are seeing a slow, steady harvest. There is unprecedented interest in the gospel and more than 1,000 new churches have been started since the year 2000.

But the Thai are still one of the least evangelized people groups on earth. Only 0.5% of its 60 million people are believers and Buddhism has a strong grip. Breakthrough will only come by prayer and the power of God.

A growing missionary team is in place to take the work of God forward and many Thai Christians are passionate about evangelism and church planting. But can they do it without our prayer?
