At BICF ZGC we are gathering, growing, and going…
Gathering – People from many nations gather together to worship and serve the Lord Jesus Christ throughout BICF. We preview the day those from ‘every tongue, tribe, people, and nation’ will gather before Him. He is the Chief Gatherer and He enlists us to bring people into the joy of His family.
On Sundays, BICF ZGC gathers at TianBoZhongRun in Mudanyuan. During the week we gather in dorm rooms, apartments, restaurants, parks – our Father owns this city! As we each share some of our time, talents, and treasures we see Him do great things for the glory of His name.
Growing – Jesus invites us into a life-transforming journey with Him - He’s given His Word, Spirit, and family. He is making us true ‘living letters’ for our lost world. The message of the Cross challenges this world. But be encouraged! A new world has been born in Christ’s resurrection.
Going – Jesus commands us to “make disciples” – in every country, into every corner of this city. He holds “all authority in heaven and earth.” In ZGC we learn more about going with Him day by day so that we might serve Him around the world year after year.

Words from the Elders
Wait, what? I don’t get it.” How often have you asked that to your professor, to your parents, or to your pastor? We all have times where we just don’t understand, and someone has to slow down, back up and explain something. At the end of Romans 5 Paul pauses to explain a bit about our world, humans, sin, death, Christ, and eternal life. WOW, what a great list of things to know more about! These are crucial concepts, because, as Paul talks about at the end, the overall result is eternal life! Yes, life forever, with God. If you’re not completely sure about your eternal life, let’s talk. Really. - Pastor Josh Kruse

JOSHUA TRAINING CENTRE
The book of Psalms is thought to be the most widely read book in all of Scripture. Christians turn to these poems/songs in times of joy, sadness, grief, and struggle. While each individual psalm contains teaching and encouragement, they do not stand alone. The book of Psalms is a carefully crafted unity with cohesiveness, flow, and design. Join us for our next JTC class “How to Teach the Psalms,” where we will examine this book as a whole and work through example passages together, so that we might read and teach this “book of praise” with greater understanding.
Combination format of pre-recorded videos (3.5 hours) PLUS live class interaction via zoom (3.5 hours). 3pm Sat 13 June OR 1:30pm Sun 14 June OR 8am 20 June. Scan the QR code to register if you are new to the JTC..
