A cohort of T. Austin Sparks, Watchman Nee was a missionary to his native country, China, for the duration of his life. Although persecuted, imprisoned and ailing in health for large portions of his life, his ministry was profound and called individuals to a life of surrender and holiness. Beckoning people out of the world and to the foot of the cross, he had a great burden that churches would be built up to not just foster individual growth, but that the corporate Body of believers would emerge and present itself as the pure Bride of Christ.

Watchman Nee gave his extended testimony a few times in his life. Powerful and convicting, it is worth the read. You can find it here: Watchman Nee Testimony
