Doesn CBF funding a hospital or a school project just mean that the Chinese government has to spend less of its own money?
No. First, there is little or no money that comes from the CBF General Budget for CBF in China projects. Our projects are adopted and funded directly by churches or individuals. Secondly, the Chinese government is engaged in massive reform in all areas of society, especially in the poverty-stricken countryside. They have limited money and it must be spent. By coming along side of them and assisting them in their efforts to serve their people and improve the quality of life, they are able to do more than would originally have been possible and to do it at a faster pace. We help their resources go further. Third, it is our hope that by involving the Chinese Christians in this partnership, they also are strengthened, increasing opportunities for a witness in society.
