The Christian Nationals’ Evangelism Commission was founded in 1943 and was originally called the China Native Evangelistic Crusade. When it was first founded, it focused on missionary work, with the purpose of spreading the gospel to the Chinese through the Chinese. The Christian Nationals’ Evangelism Commission found many seminaries and Bible colleges for providing training and education, and also actively preached the gospel to the public and society. Currently, the Christian Nationals’ Evangelism Commission has established 21 churches, 1 neighborhood elderly center, and 6 schools (including primary, secondary schools and kindergartens) in Hong Kong, 1 church in Macau, and 3 churches in Taiwan.
