Taiyuan

But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 1:7-8 (NIV)

Taiyuan is a city of just over 4 million people located in the northeast part of China. It is an industrial center focusing on energy and heavy chemicals. It was founded more than 2,500 years ago and is surrounded on three sides by mountains.

The geography surrounding Taiyuan is mineral rich. Coal mining and production is a mainstay of the local economy, which led to the city being declared as one of the 10 worst air quality locations in the world during the 1990s. While this has been substantially remediated, there is still significant pollution.
More than 90% of the people living in Taiyuan are Han Chinese, speaking Mandarin. Religious preferences in this area are traditional folk religions (27.9%), Buddhism (19.8%), and 23.9% identifying as nonbelievers. Amongst other faiths the Catholic church has the leading presence with several large churches.
