A seven year old boy in China was given the biblical name "Moses" by his newly converted father the night of the Chow family "exodus" from their Taoist and Buddhist family circle. His father prayed, "God, use my only son to lead our people in some way out of spiritual bondage and slavery."
A Buddhist monk predicted that Moses would die before the age of ten, but God had a different plan! Early in life, Moses answered God's call to preach the gospel, but ahead lay many wilderness and desert experiences like the biblical Moses confronted.
Dr. James Hudson Taylor III, Former General Director of Overseas Missionary Fellowship International, wrote in the Foreword: "This book is an amazing testimony! It gives the reader a vivid picture of the growing church in China during missionary days, and especially of a young Chinese Christian caught up in catastrophic wars and social upheaval. It is an epic account of Chinese Christians in suffering and scattering as they find a new and abiding identity in Christ. Here are important insights into the influence of Christian parents and spiritual mentors on young people in the home and church."
God called Moses Chow not only to evangelize his kinsmen around the world, but to pursue cross-cultural missions in Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong and the United States. He is one of the founders of Ambassadors For Christ, Inc., a ministry among Chinese university students and professionals in North America. Moses traces the beginnings and development of the Chinese student movement in North America to which he devoted nearly 30 years. His vision helped launch AFC's triennial Chinese Mission conventions, one of the largest on-&127 going, Urbana-like mission conferences the Chinese Church has ever known. They are designed to challenge young Chinese to be involved in worldwide missions.
A lifetime burden for China and a love for his kinsmen in the flesh burned in Moses' heart. He vividly describes his feelings on his first return to his childhood city of Ningpo China in 1979 but he was not able to preach freely. Sixteen years later, in 1995, God brought him full circle to preach the gospel openly to thousands of people there. He had the unique opportunity to publicly call China's youth to dedicate themselves to serve God. An unprecedented 100 young people openly responded in one meeting.
Moses declares, "I am not Moses the deliverer. God is the Deliverer. God is at work to emancipate from sin and to use Chinese Christians all over the world as a spiritual force to fulfill His purpose. I only follow Moses' example and testify from my personal experience what God has done."
