Only 1 in 10 people in China are Christians

Your regularly recurring gift will help to change that.

316NOW has a community of extraordinary supporters. It’s called Grace Sustainers.

You probably match

  • their generosity,

  • their desire to share God’s grace with lost souls,

  • their appreciation for 316NOW’s grace across China NOW ministry, and especially,

  • their gratitude for Jesus’ love.

316NOW invites you to become part of this remarkable community of 316NOW friends.

Grace Sustainers is 316NOW’s association of recurring givers. Their regular donations not only testify to their love for God, they provide 316NOW’s ministry with a dependable financial foundation for sharing the gospel in China.
