內容簡介：

4片裝VCD，鮮為人知的歷史 令人驚嘆的一群
中國教會五十年血 � 史搬上屏幕

由神州傳播協會歷時三年製作完成的大型紀錄片《十字架──耶穌在中國》，第一次真實、深入、全面地報道了中國教會，特別是非官方家庭教會的滄桑歷史和繁榮現狀，回答了海內外多人的困惑：為什麼在無神論環境下，中國基督徒從一九四九年的七十多萬，增加到現在的七千多萬？該片全部採用現場實拍和採訪，用大量事實詮釋了人們普遍關心的一些問題：中國基督徒是怎樣產生、生存和發展的？他們是怎樣一種人？他們對中國社會已經產生並將繼續產生什麼影響？

大型紀錄片《十字架──耶穌在中國》包括三集和一個專題片，總長度約四小時。

第一集《生命泉》報道了當代中國各階層中基督徒的真實生活和內心世界，他們中間有農民、學生、幹部、孤兒、黑幫、演員、學者、作家、科學家、企業家等等。
第二集《血種》記錄了義和團以來，主要是近五十多年來，中國老一輩基督徒的血跡腳蹤，其中包括王明道、宋尚節、倪柝聲、袁相忱、林獻羔、謝模善、楊心斐、以巴弗等著名傳道人。
第三集《苦杯》記錄了文化大革命以後，大量中青年基督徒獻身傳道、受苦受難、持守不渝、滿心感恩，以致造成中國教會空前大復興的動人見證。
專題片《迦南歌聲》記錄了一個神奇故事：只有初一文化程度、不識樂譜的河南農村姑娘小敏，在聖靈感動下，唱出近千首在海內外教會中廣為傳唱的美妙詩歌。

《十字架──耶穌在中國》攝製組，是一群捨己獻身的基督徒，他們勇敢深入到中國各地，採訪了數以百計的教會、數以千萬計的基督徒，採訪到中國基督徒的真實生活和肺腑心聲。他們總共錄像達五百小時，最後提煉出這部四小時的紀錄片。

製作此片的神州傳播協會，三年前曾經推出七集電視系列片《神州》，在海內外引起很大反響。這次他們推出此片，目的是要為歷史留下一個紀錄，為人們提供中國基督教信仰的真相。此片是給海內外教會的一個激勵，也是給每一個基督徒的一份禮物。此片更給一切關心中國前途命運的人提供一個嶄新的思路：基督信仰在中國人的心靈建設中，應該扮演什麼角色？

中文VCD (亦有中英文雙軌配音的DVD 價格稍高 )。

該片出品人為謝文杰，總編導為遠志明。

Feed back of a reader:
"... I could not resist to finish all 4 DVDs at once. I had tears in my eyes when I watched the second and third DVDs: "the Seed of Blood" and the "Bitter Cup." I was too touched to speak a word. Compare with what these ministers' suffering, we (Christian in North America) really need to thank God and think about what is the God's will on us. This only speaks 1% of what I feel.

China Soul Inc., who produced "China's Confession", took 3 years to finish this film "The Cross -- Jesus In China". The crew went to China to give a comprehensive and profound report on the churches there, especially the non-official home churches, including their history of persecution as well as their current popularity. This film answers many people's question: Why in China, such an atheistic environment, that Chinese Christians grow from 700,000 in 1947 to the current 70 million?

This film uses many interviews and shots on spot, as well as many facts to explain the birth, survival and development of Chinese Christians. What kind of people are they? What influence have they had on others, and what impact they will continue to have on China or even the world?

This film is a 3 VCD series but has an extra VCD on a special topic. The total is 4 VCDs and the total length of the set is about 4 hours.
VCD 1: "The Spring of Life" reports the real life and internal world of the contemporay Chinese Christians of all walks of life: including farmers, students, officials, orphans, gangsters, actors and actresses, scholars, writers, scientists and enterpreneuers.

VCD 2: "The Seed of Blood" shows from "The Boxers" in the Ching Dynasty till the past fifty years, the bloody footprints of famous Chinese Chritians of the old generation, including Wang Ming Dao, John Song, Watchman Nee, Yuan Xiang Chen, Samuel Lin, Xie Mo Shan etc.

VCD 3: "The Bitter Cup" presents many touching testimonies of many young Christians dedicated to the ministries after the Cultural Revolution. They stood firm in the Lord even under persecution, and that caused a great revival in China.

The Special Topic VCD, "Songs of Canaan," records an amazing story: a village girl named Xiao Ming, from the He Nan Province, with only middle shcool education and not knowing how to read music, under the touch of the Holy Spirit has sung almost a thousand beautiful hymns sung by Chinese Churches both overseas and in China.

The crew member of the "Cross" is a group of dedicated Chinese Christians. They bravely went to various places in China and interviewed hundreds of churches and thousands of Christians. They extracted this 4 hour film from a total of 500 hours of film.

The purpose of producing this "Cross" film is to record a part of the history and present the reality of Christianity in China. This film is an encouragement to churches overseas, and also a gift to every Christian. This film also provides a direction for people who are concerned about the future of China: What role should Christianity play in the spiritual construction among Chinese people?

Mandarin Narration and Chinese Caption. This set of VCDs is in Mandarin. There are also DVDs in both Mandarin and English. The director is the Yuan Zhi Ming, who also direct "China Confessions" and his own testimonies "Why I believe in Jesus". Brother Xie Wen Jie is the producer who devotes most of his time and assets in this minstry.
