| Revival church continued to grow and later moved to Kowloon. In
addition to student ministry, Dennis faithfully kept the China vision
before the church. For years, other than smuggling a few Bibles into the
then closed “Red China” the workers could only pray and fast, trusting
that this great nation would one day open. That day came in 1978 through
the “Open Doors Policy” and Dennis was on one of the first tours allowed
into China. Since then he has made over 500 trips into Mainland China.
Since 1988 Dennis was deeply involved in teaching the house church
leaders. He previously traveled into Mainland China, usually to the same
areas that the China Inland Mission missionaries went, to conduct
co-worker meetings. Dennis and his co-workers would minister to several
hundred preachers for up to 12 hours daily, several days in a row.
Though Dennis feels that the Spiritual level of the Chinese church is
high and he feels there is not much he or anyone from the outside can
impart to these leaders, he testifies that they are humble and hungry
for God. They want to learn from the Word of God and are open to any
anointed ministry.
One of the main ministries of Revival Christian Church has been to
provide Bibles and teaching materials to the tens of thousands of
unregistered house churches that are scattered across China. Each year,
thousands of people from around the world, have come to participate in
the ministry of “Donkeys for Jesus” and have assisted in successfully
bringing over 8 million Bibles and other books into China. This work
continues today and each month thousands of bibles and teaching
materials are brought into China and delivered into the hands of the
house church leaders.
Revival Christian Church has grown to over 700 members, with several
branch churches and ministry outreaches. RCC was previously active in
the Vietnamese refugee camps in Hong Kong (these camps have now been
closed) and has since sent teams to minister in Vietnam. There are also
several other ministries that have made RCC their covering church and
from here they minister to several Asian nations and to the many non-Han
Chinese nationalities in China. The church also has missionaries in
Japan and supports several Chinese evangelists.
In his travels Dennis has seen God perform many miracles and has
gathered first hand accounts of New Testament type miracles, including
the raising of the dead. He has also experienced the suffering of the
Chinese church as he himself has been detained and imprisoned by the
Chinese authorities. Several of his Chinese co-workers have received
long prison sentences for there work as itinerant pastors and there part
in Bible distribution. Some have also been martyred for their faith
during the past years.
Pastor Dennis and his church are committed to Hong Kong and the
Chinese people and this remains unchanged even since Hong Kong reverted
to the sovereignty of China in 1997. The ministry has continued and
blossomed to this very date and we believe the doors to China will
continue to open much more than they already have.
Since the early 1990’s Dennis and some of his team have been heavily
involved in ministry, teaching, evangelism, outreach and church planting
in many nations. They spend several months of each year traveling to
nations such as India, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Nepal,
Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, France, Italy,
Germany, Brazil, United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Israel,
Romania, and several other nations.
Through the work of Revival Chinese Ministries International (RCMI)
Pastor Dennis ministry has expanded to many nations around the world and
several offices have been established overseas. These offices share a
common vision, to strengthen the local churches, with a focus on the
Chinese community and a passion to see all peoples come to know Jesus
Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
