In the past three decades, the world has witnessed China undergoing a dramatic economic boom. At the same time, another unprecedented dramatic change has taken place, which is now known as the spiritual revival of Christianity. To date, conservative estimates are that there are at least 80 million Christians in China, 100 times more than the number in 1950 after the founding of the PRC.
With this revival, an emerging community of Christian businesspeople suddenly appeared for the first time in China’s history. It is estimated that there are half a million Christian businesspeople in more than 100 cities. However, the Chinese churches are not yet prepared to pastor this community of businesspeople. It is an urgent task to help this generation of Christians to grow healthily in Christ. Within this context, Excelsis came into being.
What Excelsis expects is to partner the like-minded people and organizations so as to take this historic opportunity to advance God’s Kingdom in the marketplace.
In so doing, Excelsis would like to invite you:
- To co-develop some more relevant and workable curriculums, training materials, and programs for the Christian businesspeople;
- To co-organize and co-conduct training classes for the Christian businesspeople;
- To co-conduct E-learning courses for the Christian businesspeople;
- To collaborate in the translation work on the Chinese and American literatures regarding the marketplace theology;
- To co-organize some kind of summit for the Christian business people so as to strengthen the mutual understanding and co-operation between different nations for God’s Kingdom.
- To co-operate in providing some more relevant and effective consultancy services for the Christian businessmen and transform their businesses, etc.
Excelsis is an anointed ministry. It is proud of its various unique elements:
- A holistic framework for marketplace theology and a systematic series of biblical management subjects, including business management, biblical leadership, biblical worldview, biblical character, biblical family, and Kingdom economy.
- An extraordinary leadership training program delivered in the USA with on-site visits, deep fellowships and devotions, seminars, one-on-one counselling, and fascinating sightseeing.
- An amazing Bible reading method that enables the laity to understand the Bible quickly, deeply and precisely, and thus enjoy and experience personal intimacy with God.
- A wide range of network connections home and abroad. To date, Excelsis is connected with more than 120 business fellowships in 90 cities in China and a huge overseas network in the USA, Canada, Europe, Korea and Southeast Asia.
- A summit platform for Christian business leaders. Excelsis so far has successfully organized five Christian business leadership summits in China and overseas, and has co-organized many training sessions with different partners.
- A huge audience attending Excelsis’ online training and fellowship. Excelsis has established dozens of “mustard groups” all over China and online training and fellowships through WeChat, Zoom or Lark meeting.
- A remarkable integration of physical resources home and abroad for retreat and devotion.
