| Summary: | Watchman Nee (Ni Tuosheng, 1903-1972) is one of a few Chinese who have had a significant impact on Western Christianity. As the leader of an independent Chinese church, Nee built his international connections through his writing, traveling and personal relations in the mission field. Just before the Communist takeover in 1949, his co-worker Witness Lee (Li Changshou, 1905-1997) brought the ministry abroad and led great revivals in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and America from 1950s through 1970s. Now, under the direction of Taiwan Gospel Book Room and Living Stream Ministry based in Anaheim, CA, this originally Chinese ministry has developed a global network of Local Churches across the five continents. It is a rare example of an Asian Christianity assuming global significance. |
