By ICC Fellow Linda Burkle, PhD Fifteen years ago, I traveled to China with a friend and ministry partner to conduct a training conference for underground church leaders. This was our second trip to equip and encourage them. Whereas my friend lives in another state, we met at the international airport to fly to China. Each of us had one suitcase full of Chinese-language Christian discipleship books. When we landed in Beijing and entered the airport, we went through multiple checkpoints, then cleared customs and made our way to the baggage claim area.
