Chinese Students Explore God in Dallas

I spoke Chineseat a retreat for our Dallas and Ft Worth campus movements a few weeks ago. A few leaders on campuses like TCU and UT-Arlington had started discussion groups on campus for non-believers–called Explore God groups. Several churches throughout the Dallas area have been participating in an Explore God campaign, which includes billboards along the highways.
Two Chinese students who have been going to an Explore God group came to the Fall Retreat. I spoke with both of them a few times over the weekend. They arrived in the US 5 weeks ago. One of the students said that growing up she would often ask her mom about God, but her mom would put her off saying, “How can I answer your questions about God?” After the first week at Explore God she was thrilled to find out she could keep coming to the group even though she didn’t believe in God yet. She called her mom to tell her, “Finally, mom, I have a place I can ask my questions and find answers.”
