"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.

Pastor Liu's ministry has always been a source of inspiration to me, particularly his emphasis on the strategy of  ""collaboration, church planting, and long-term investment.""

Pastor Tong is also a great storyteller, and the many stories from his journey in birthing and leading River of Life will delight, challenge and enrich you as you seek to become a “glory-saturated” follower of Jesus. 

-Dr. Dick Eastman / President Emeritus, Every Home for Christ; Past President (1988-2022)

Pastor Liu blends these biblical truths with practical strategies, illustrating how a church can rise to fulfill its God-given mission.
