According to Chinese Coordination Centre of World Evangelism (CCCOWE), Langham Partnership International (LPI) International Ministries Director Rev. Dr. Christopher J. H. Wright has responded officially agreeing to lead the Bible-study at the eighth CCCOWE Conference in 2011.
According to LPI, Wright obtained his doctorate in the field of Old Testament economic ethics in the 1970s. In 1983, he moved to India with his family to teach at Union Biblical Seminary (UBS) in Pune for five years. In 1988, he returned to the U.K. as academic dean at All Nations Christian College, an international training centre for cross-cultural mission.
