Recent statistics indicate that there are over 14 million drug addicts within China’s borders. According to the Chinese government, drug use has spread to 90 percent of the country.
To address the growing addiction problem, China’s Yunnan Province has embraced the power of faith. The province’s innovative Gospel Rehab Center lies near the border of China and Myanmar, and the staff treats addiction by fostering a daily walk with God. “We rely only on God, on His mighty power, to change lives,” said Gospel Rehab Center founder Xu Chengyun.
Staff members pray with and for addicts every day. Prayers include requests for strength, for God’s mighty healing power, for repentance from addiction, and for their clients’ ability to be renewed through a right relationship with Jesus.
Residents sing songs like, “My victory is gained by your presence. Jehova, you are my God. I will never stop praising your name.” In addition to routine praise and worship time, facility participants engage in several hours of Bible class each day. Scriptural study helps recovering addicts understand God’s grace and love for them.
Acts of service. By giving time and energy to others, guidance counselor Pai Jianhua says that addicts serve as an example of Christ’s love for others. In doing so, they also see evidence of Christ’s power to heal.
