China Horizon Information

China Horizon is an evangelical ministry engaged in the teaching of the Reformed faith among overseas Chinese Christians. It was originally founded in September 1989, by Drs. Che Bin Tan, Sow Pheng Liew, Rudolf Mak and Samuel Ling, to meet the spiritual needs of mainland Chinese intellectuals (PRC's) in North America. It was headquartered in New York from 1989 to 1992, and Chicago from 1992 to 1997. From 1992 to 1997, China Horizon granted scholarships and encouraged a select group of overseas mainland Chinese leaders to pursue theological education. In 1997, China Horizon was re-located in Los Angeles. It was transformed to serve as a teaching ministry conducting courses and seminars, and publishing books and resources in biblical and systematic theology, history of doctrine and practical theology, in the Reformed tradition. Its mission is to call the Chinese church to return to the historic, biblical faith of the Protestant Reformers of the 16th century. Throughout China Horizon's 19-year history, her president, Rev. Samuel Ling, has lectured widely in various seminaries, such as Singapore Bible College, Tyndale Seminary, Malaysia Bible Seminary, Reformed Institute (USA and Asia), Bangkok Bible College and Seminary, Bandung Theological Seminary (STTB, Indonesia), and the Biblical Seminary of Hong Kong. Since 2002 Dr. Ling has taught at International Theological Seminary in Los Angeles (www.itsla.edu), where he currently serves as professor of systematic theology. He is visiting professor at Westminster Seminary California, and adjunct lecturer at Covenant Theological Seminary (www.covenantseminary.edu). Rev. Ling is a minister in the Presbyterian Church in America (www.pcanet.org). In addition to teaching, China Horizon is involved in the recording of audio and video resources, and publishing of theological resources in Chinese. China Horizon is a non-profit organization pursuant to Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Service Code, and is supported by voluntary contributions. She is dependent on God and his people's contributions to carry on this teaching and publishing ministry. Horizon Ministries Canada was incorporated in 1996 in the Province of British Columbia. Its focus in ministry among mainland Chinese intellectuals (PRCs) is publishing literature for PRCs in Canada.
