  On my way home from China, I stopped off in Hong Kong to visit legendary missionaries Dennis and Kathy Balcombe.
  ...
  Through his extensive connections to Chinese house church pastors, Dennis has helped us distribute 15,000 copies of our 500-page equipping manual, The Disciple Making Minister, in Chinese, to Christian leaders all over China.This has only caused the demand to increase.While I was in Hong Kong, 20,000 more copies came off the press.They will soon be in the hands of hungry pastors all over China.Dennis Balcombe says that we'll need tens of thousands of additional copies to cover the existing need.

  From the age of 16, when Dennis found the Lord, God has lead his footsteps first to Hong Kong and then - when the doors opened in 1979 - into mainland China.
  
  Coming to Hong Kong in 1969 as a missionary under Shiloh Christian Fellowship located in Oakland, California, Dennis had small beginnings.God always starts with small beginnings, but as we are faithful with what He has given us, then He expands His work using us as vessels to His glory!
  
  Living in small room - which was actually part of a bathroom - Dennis learned the language and started Revival Christian Church at the end of 1969.The church premises was a mezzanine floor office space located in the Western District of Hong Kong Island which could seat around 25 - 30 people.From the very beginning Dennis refused to use English to preach.He would spend hours, even days and sleepless nights to prepare his message so that he could preach it in Cantonese.
  ...
  This place was located 2 blocks from the Hong Kong Christian College (Secondary School) where Dennis was now the Chaplain.
  ...
  Dennis traveled into the mainland on the first tour group that went in.He finally saw with his own eyes the land of his calling.God was opening the doors for him to go and share the message of the baptism of the Holy Spirit to the "underground" house church leaders.As the fire of the Holy Spirit began to grip them, it spread across to many cities and rural areas.Dennis found that the Church of Jesus Christ in the mainland was and alive and well and flourishing under persecution - their preaching of the gospel message was followed by signs, miracles and wonders.
  ...
  1961 Dennis Balcombe accepted Christ as Savior.
  
  1961 He saw a Chinese village in a vision and received the calling to go to China. (In 1979, he visited the same village in Henan province.)
  
  1966-67 Vietnam War: Dennis drafted into military.
  
  1969 He came to Hong Kong as a missionary under Shiloh Christian Fellowship (Oakland, California).Not knowing anyone in the city when he arrived, he settled down with the help of some friendly local Chinese.He humbly lived in a bathroom for 2 years.
  
  1969 Within a few months, Dennis started Revival Christian Church (RCC) with 25-30 people.Dennis refused to use English to preach from the start.He spent a long time preparing his messages in Cantonese.
  
  1970 Dennis married 20-year-old Katherine Grace Bissell, an American missionary kid (MK) born in Chengmai, Thailand.
  ...
  Dennis was on one of the first tours from Hong Kong allowed inland.Soon after, the Bibles to China ministry began.
  
  The Balcombes' Today Dennis speaks fluent Cantonese and Mandarin.He is currently involved in ministering to the Chinese as well as non-Chinese throughout Asia.As the founder of Revival Chinese Ministries International, he is a sought-after speaker around the world.

  Another student of this story, Dennis Balcombe, pastor of the Revival Christian Church in Hong Kong, says that in 1991 he translated a book with many Chinese testimonies.With a well-educated house church leader helping him he wrote down the manuscripts that were translated.Research was done on the various stories of many Chinese believers.He now says that Hattaway's account of Brother Yun is exactly the way other house church accounts are recollected by many who spoke of these same stories.
