MISSIO DEI FOR CHINA OVERSEAS MINISTRY MODEL OF MDC PATTAYA CHURCH

Abstract

This dissertation examines the overseas ministry of Chinese churches. In 2017, the author led believers from mainland China to join a Thai church and later founded the MDC (Mission China) Pattaya Church in 2019. The congregation includes four main groups: caregivers for parents, caregivers for children, those persecuted in China, and those transferring assets abroad. Years of ministry practice show that this model is feasible but requires long-term commitment. The church’s mission demands continual renewal of worldview and dependence on God’s grace, Christ’s love, and the Holy Spirit’s power to fulfill the mission entrusted by Jesus Christ.
