A house church pastor recounts his move from the countryside to the city in the 1990s, a time of massive urbanization and change in China. From reuniting families to ministering to beggars, he shares his struggle to develop a theology and practice of loving the city, despite seeing it at its worst and experiencing increasing persecution.
