The Bread of Life Church ({{Zh|c=|s=灵粮堂|t=靈糧堂|p=Ling Liang Tang}}), is an independent Chinese church that was founded in Shanghai, Republic of China in 1942, which churches today in different parts of Asia, Australia, and North America.[1] HistoryDuring the Second Sino-Japanese War, the International Settlement in Shanghai was seized by Japanese troops in December 1941, putting a stop to Western missions in the region. The next year, in June 1942, the Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor {{Ill|Timothy Zhao|zh|趙世光 (牧師)}} ({{Zh|c=趙世光|s=|t=|p=Zhao Shiguang}}) established the Bread of Life Church in Shanghai.[2] It aspired to be an indigenous church which followed the three-self principle.[1] By the time of the communist victory in mainland China, Dzao moved his headquarters first to Hong Kong in 1949,[1] before moving it to Taipei, Taiwan in 1954. It would eventually start a seminary in 1990 and, in 2005, the church was reported to have 33,132 members in Taiwan and 134 churches have been planted all around the world.[3] Today there are currently 306 churches all over the world.{{Citation needed|date=March 2017}} References{{Portal|Christianity in China}}1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9HaTDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA245|title=Reference Guide to Christian Missionary Societies in China: From the Sixteenth to the Twentieth Century|last=Tiedemann|first=R.
