Wen gave her life to the Lord wholeheartedly, even quitting her job to serve in a church.

But because of the lack of biblically sound resources in China, she had a lot of misconceptions about what it meant to be a believer.

ā€œHer beliefs were not grounded in Godā€™s Word,ā€ said Jean Chen, Chinese program producer for . ā€œThey were twisted in her fellow manā€™s teaching.ā€

Many of Wenā€™s misconceptions came from the Internet, so believers in China must be especially careful when using web resources. Still, church leaders point to BTGMI websites as a trusted source.

When BTGMIā€™s Chinese ministry team visited China, they invited Wen to one of their conferences. The team shared resources from ā€œBible and Women,ā€ the outreachā€™s newest radio program and website designed to encourage women just like Wen.

ā€œThe site reaches young women as well as professional women in China who are struggling to balance their professional, family, and church life,ā€ explained Rev. Jimmy Lin, Chinese ministry leader.

After discovering ā€œBible and Women,ā€ Wen approached Jean and said that she had been dealing with depression and family issues. Jean used her skills to counsel Wen and connected her with a local church leader who would provide ongoing spiritual counsel.

ā€œWe are thankful that the Lord has provided our ā€œBible and Womenā€ ministry with a producer who has a masterā€™s degree in biblical counseling,ā€ added Rev. Lin.

The BTGMI Chinese team also met other women who have benefited from ā€œBible and Women.ā€ Na said that she had never seen the Internet as a place of biblical truth until she discovered our resources.

ā€œNa often ran to the Internet for entertainment or escape,ā€ explained Jean. ā€œNow she uses the ā€œBible and Womenā€ website and social media as a source of Godā€™s nourishment and real spiritual life.ā€

After returning from their trip to China and connecting with their listeners on a personal level, Jean and the other outreach team members feel renewed in their work.
