每年都有成千上万的中国学生、学者离开中国到海外学习或工作。他们都需要适应在国外的生活，学习当地的语言、文化和新的生活方式。在留学或访学的路上，他们接触到许多新的想法和思维方式，学习如何在新的暂居地与人相处。
在海外，许多中国学生、学者会接触到福音，对耶稣有更多认识。其中一些人会回应福音的信息，成为基督徒。这些基督徒中的大部分人都知道在海外的环境中，在信仰上成长是相对容易的。
然而，当有一天他们回到中国成为“海归”，就会体验到持守基督徒的信仰可能是一个很艰难的事情。因为他们在海外期间，他们变了，中国也变了。在海外信主的基督徒，会对回国以后如何能见证信仰、活出基督徒的生命感觉到担心和困惑。
这本小册子收集了六篇返回中国的海归基督徒的真实见证。我们的目的是通过这些见证帮助海归基督徒靠着对上帝的信心在回国后继续跟随耶稣。为了保护作者和文章中讲到的人的隐私，我们对人名、地名和个别细节做了修改。除了最后一篇宋尚节的见证是英文翻译成中文，这些故事都是首先以中文原文收录，然后翻译成英文。
Every year hundreds of thousands of Chinese leave China to study or work overseas. They usually embrace the challenge of adapting to a new way of life in a new country, learning the language and the culture and settling in. Along the way they are exposed to many new ideas and ways of thinking as they gradually learn how get along in their new home.
While overseas many will meet Jesus for the first time, and some will respond to the message of the gospel and become Christians. Most of them will find it easy to flourish in their faith in their overseas contexts.
However, returning to China as a follower of Christ can be very difficult. The returnee has changed during their time overseas and China has also changed. Those who have become Christians overseas find it particularly difficult to work out how they can live out their faith in the Chinese context.
This book is a collection of actual testimonies of Christians who have returned to China. Names, places and details have been changed to protect their privacy. The stories are available here in their original form (Chinese) and English translations are provided.
This is a trial version with 6 stories. We hope to publish a longer version later.
