Page "Witness Lee" Paragraph 4

He began researching the Bible and read some articles written by Watchman Nee.

Eventually, he left the Chinese Independent Congregational Church and began meeting with the Benjamin Newton branch of the Brethren Assembly in Yantai.

Striking up a correspondence with Watchman Nee, Lee became influenced by his call to " experience the divine life " instead of pursuing knowledge alone.

Leaving his job in 1933, Lee moved his family to Shanghai and entered full-time ministry with Watchman Nee, becoming responsible for his publishing operations.

Starting in 1934, Lee began traveling throughout China, preaching and establishing local congregations.

In the face of Japanese invasion during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Lee returned to Yantai.
