We’re thrilled to invite you to a thought-provoking lecture at the historic Nazareth Chapel at the University of Northwestern-St. Paul on March 26, 2026!

🎤 Speaker: Joann Pittman, Vice President for Partnerships and China Engagement at China Source.

In this lecture, Joann will provide an introduction to the complexity of the church in China, moving beyond common headlines and narratives to look at key issues and challenges that Christians face today. This will include a historical overview of Christianity in China, as well as gospel-centered stories of what God is doing among his people despite the challenging social and political environment. Finally, we will consider lessons that Christians in the West can learn from Christians in China. 

Joann is Vice President for Partnerships and China Engagement at ChinaSource.  Prior to joining ChinaSource, she spent 28 years in China, as a student, educator, and intercultural trainer. She has also taught Chinese at the University of Northwestern-St. Paul (MN), and Chinese Culture and Communication at Wheaton College (IL) and Taylor University (IN).
