e-krc.org

KRC Resources for Christ (KRC) is pleased to announce the launch of our new website, e-krc.org.

To expand and deepen the mission of evangelism and cultural engagement for the Kingdom of God, the KRC website has been revamped and relaunched in 2024. The website combines visuals and text, providing a comprehensive understanding of KRC's vision and mission. Visitors can read the KRC magazine in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English, access detailed information about events and training courses, and enjoy secure and user-friendly online donation and event registration services. Additionally, the website offers further insights into Project Arctos, an English ministry specifically designed for the younger generation of Christians.

The Kingdom of God seeks resources, and the resources are for the Kingdom of God

On the "About Us" page, the video titled “God's Work Through KRC" features the life testimonies of our team members. Through their connection with KRC, they discovered and developed their talents, gifts, and potential. This journey has not only fostered personal growth but also built a strong team that makes a significant impact on Kingdom ministries both within and beyond the church. People are, indeed, the most important resource in God's Kingdom.

Scrolling further down, you'll find introductions to various ministries, along with profiles of the board of directors and team members. By clicking on their photos, you can read personal bios and related articles. The team aspires to share Kingdom perspectives with sincerity, offering insights on the vision for the Kingdom, missions, their ministry journeys, and hopes for the future of the global Chinese church. They deeply desire to inspire Christians to "focus on truth, discern the times, and integrate knowledge with action."

The KRC magazine embodies the "seven strengths": Vision, Innovation, Challenges, Practicality, Knowledge, Inspiration, and Action.

The KRC Magazine, first published in 2005, is driven by the principles of breakthrough innovation, forward-looking perspectives, challenging narrow views, and fostering teamwork. Its mission is to "call readers to engage with critical issues of talent, outreach, culture, relationships, and community through the lens of faith." By July 2024, the magazine has published 76 issues, featuring 1,568 articles by 457 authors!

In addition to regular print editions, the KRC Magazine also publishes new articles online on an irregular basis and will gradually introduce multimedia content, including videos and other formats.

The KRC Magazine drives other ministries as the "locomotive" of KRC. It also serves as a vibrant and aesthetically appealing "showcase," vividly presenting the core themes and unique features of the ministry.
