Go Figure!

The following statistics (from Chinese Church For Missions, a Sydney-based interchurch facilitator) makes for grim reading if you're a Chinese Christian living in Diaspora (outside China):

• Chinese Diaspora ~ 60 million (a population larger than most countries!)
  
• Chinese churches in Diaspora ~ 9000
• Chinese Christians in Diaspora ~ <5%
• Chinese churches active in mission ~10%
• Ethnic Chinese Missionaries worldwide ~ 1000
• Cross-cultural Missionaries worldwide ~434,000

10% of Chinese churches active in mission... A mere 1,000 Chinese among 434,000 missionaries worldwide... This is pretty poor representation by any standards!!
