"I recognized in Pastor Tong Liu what I considered to be true apostolic anointing—an anointing that draws people and resources, releases others in ministry, and brings a pioneering movement.
This book not only gives the history, but also many of the key ingredients of how this life-giving environment has spread to so many places worldwide.
