Using popular culture as a starting point
I finally got round to reading Tim Steven’s new book Pop goes the Church – Should the Church Engage Pop Culture and was much impressed. He makes a compelling biblical case for using pop culture as a starting point in evangelism. Though he writes from the viewpoint of local church evangelism, his conclusions apply equally to online evangelism. Watch Stevens in this clip →
Another book I have found incredibly insightful is Tell Me a Story: The Life-Shaping Power of Our Stories. We are our stories. We are “the product of all the stories you have heard and lived – and of many that you have never heard.” Watch Dr Taylor speak briefly in this video →
And treat yourself to a video or audio recording of an entire session that Daniel Taylor gave at the Desiring God 2008 Conference here.
Tony Watkins of Damaris also argues persuasively for using popular culture, as does Dave Buckna.

Helping Chinese people locally.
China is the most populous nation on earth, and many Chinese are seeking new life, work, or an education abroad. In 2004, 135,000 Chinese citizens travelled to the UK, mainly for business or study reasons or to visit family.
A large proportion of these are coming to the USA and (as you may have noticed) the UK, because these countries are seen to offer more career, education and job opportunities. Of those that are coming to the UK, many are students, and the UK government has recently called this phenomenon the ‘Cultural Revolution of the 21st Century’. Last year 28,000 Chinese students came to this country, and UK universities and colleges reported numbers doubling for a second year running. Over half of these students are studying for post graduate degrees, many of them to them to return to positions of influence and authority in government or business when they go home to Chin
