For those who missed Jaeson Ma & the 1040 Screening

Hey guys. UPenn's Jaeson Ma screening went exceptionally well on thursday. Below is a student's personal blog recap about the night. In addition, you will find the video of both the musical introduction by Jaeson Ma, the sermon that followed the 1040 Movie along with the prayer and performances by three Christian rap artists.

1040 Movie Screening BLOG TESTIMONIAL

Blessed be His name. Just got rocked at Jaeson Ma's "1040" screening. Was truly an inspirational evening. I felt what was more significant was the fact that I was absolutely exhausted. Yet I sucked it up, and went to this event, knowing it would last several hours. I'm not gunna lie, but I was seriously tempted into skipping the event to catch up on some sleep. But the moment I stepped foot into the auditorium, I knew I made the right choice. This is just a testament to the true power of God. He takes us at such a fragile moment in our lives--when we're at the breaking point, when we're tired and weak, when we feel as if we have nothing significant to offer--and radically moves in us, speaks in us, and motivates us to answer our true calling. After the event ended, I just felt so refreshed, rejuvenated, and excited about what God's about to do in my life. I think two things really struck me tonight: China and Government/Law.
As of lately (I don't know why) I've been feeling that my heart was being drawn towards China and the Chinese people. Tonight just confirmed what my heart felt. I now truly feel that there is a REAL PURPOSE in my education. I don't want to just go through the motions anymore. At times I felt that the things I learned in school wouldn't really serve a significant purpose in the future. Boy was I wrong. Jaeson's message really stirred in me some crazy emotions...something that I just can't express in words--there's such peace in my heart that what I'm investing in my education right now WILL pay off in the end. Everything has a purpose. Everything is for a greater purpose.
Tonight was a great night, spent with great people, speaking about great things.

Beijing Blocks Travelers To Christian Conference

In light of what God is doing in China and the anticipation of tonight's 1040 Movie screening, it is so interesting to find the following report by NPR today [article here: Beijing/Christians]. Please read below:

Beijing Blocks Travelers To Christian Conference

A massive global evangelical gathering known as the Lausanne Congress will begin Oct. 16 in Cape Town, South Africa. But it looks likely to take place without the participation of more than 230 Chinese delegates.

So far, at least 11 people planning to attend have been forbidden to leave China, and many others have come under pressure. Many fear Beijing is moving to exert control over underground Christians.

Christianity in China is flourishing, with tens of millions of Christians openly worshiping. Many gather in private assemblies, or house churches, rather than in the official government church, known as the Three-Self Patriotic Movement. The authorities have largely turned a blind eye in the past.

But when a grouping of house churches decided to send some 200 delegates to attend the Lausanne Congress, the government stepped in.

Abraham Liu Guan is a church elder who tried to leave Sunday for the meeting with six others. Authorities warned him not to meet NPR, but in a phone interview he explained what happened at Beijing airport customs. "The border defense people said they'd received a notice from the State Administration for Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security. It said our participation in this meeting threatened state security, and they should not let us pass customs," Guan said.

1040 is an extraordinary documentary that focuses on the rapid changes in Asia and the significant shift of spiritual landscape in the area known as the "10/40 Window" - the regions between 10 degrees and 40 degrees North Latitude on the easter hemisphere. In the film, artist and minister Jaeson Ma takes us on a exciting journey through the Asian countries in the window, showing us the dramatic changes happening on the ground. We visit China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. through incisive observations, intimate interviews with prominent leaders and celebrities, and powerful, never-before-heard stories, 1040 dynamically explores a part of our globe that is experiencing vast socioeconomic expansion and profound shift in identity - it is an area that is now nothing less than the frontier of world Christianity.
