Background Info on the Chinese People

Mandarin Chinese is the world’s most popular language, spoken by more than one billion people in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Taiwan, Hong Kong and elsewhere in East Asia.

The SIL Ethnologue reports that 70% of China's 1.2 billion people speak Mandarin Chinese. China also includes 55 official minority peoples, speaking 205 languages. Some of the most common include Wu, Min, Cantonese, and Kejia.

The World Factbook reports that China is officially atheist, but many individuals still observe their Daoist (Taoist) and Buddhist traditions. It is estimated that 2 to 3% of the population are Muslim and approximately 1% are Christian.

The Census Bureau reports that 530,000 people who were born in China are now living in the U.S., making them the 10th largest population of foreign-born people in the U.S. In 1996, 421,750 Chinese tourists visited the U.S. and 39,225 Chinese students were studying at U.S. schools.

San Francisco has the largest Chinese-speaking population outside of China.

If you're planning a trip to China, you will enjoy the China Compass web site. They offer tips on travel costs, visas, etc. and also publish a phrase book written with missionaries in mind.

Information for Churches

Perhaps you've noticed that several Chinese families have moved into your community. Your church would like to get acquainted with them and find ways to serve your new neighbors. But how can you begin?

Begin by cultivating a loving heart, a listening ear, and the habit of prayer. Look for opportunities to learn about other cultures and develop skills for cross-cultural communication. There are lots of resources on this site, including the article "How to Start a Cross-Cultural Ministry," that can help you prepare to move forward in faith.

The Jesus Film is a great way to share the gospel in the "heart language" of your Chinese neighbors. Campus Crusade for Christ has produced this beautiful film of the gospel of Luke and translated it into over 600 languages, including Mandarin and Cantonese. Your church can buy a video for less than $20 and sponsor a "Chinese Night" to show the film and begin a dialogue. Ask Chinese leaders in the community if they would like to see the film and if they'll help you invite other families.

To order the Jesus Film, visit Jesusfilm.org. Or order by phone from Campus Crusade at 1-800-432-1997.

God's Story is an 80-minute video which presents the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The video (and an audio version) are available in Mandarin.


The International School of Ministry offers affordable bible training in Cantonese or Mandarin . Their course in structured, taught by interdenominational Christian leaders, and available on audio tapes so your church can become a training center.

Rev. Sen Wong has written an article on "The Chinese in The United States."
