On September 19, 1995, Rolland E. Baker reported to Richard Riss that, in China, "The Toronto-type manifestations began occurring last year, and Dennis [Balcombe] made a videotape which I will ask him to send you... Dennis Balcombe is pastor in Hong Kong whose church is responsible for bringing literally hundreds of thousands of Bibles into China, and Dennis himself has spent much time in the provinces of Henan and Anhui where revival is so strong. It is quickly spreading to other provinces as well. Last year Christianity Today did a cover story on his ministry and the human rights abuses against Christians that he has exposed to Congress and England's Parliament. I ...have . . . his personal email messages to me telling of many meetings where thousands began to laugh and fall under the Spirit."
On February 23, 1995, Dennis Balcombe reported to Rolland Baker as follows:
I just want to thank you for sending the file on the history of the revival. It is really very interesting. The Lord is doing the same thing all throughout China and even in Hong Kong. We were in Anhui two weeks ago where the Lord brought a tremendous spirit of joy and laughter. Sharon, who was interpreting for the American minister, just got lost in the Spirit with many of the Chinese preachers.Also we had a tremendous release of the prophetic ministry as these brethren ministered to hundreds in China and almost everyone in our Church in a prophetic ministry.
Dennis Balcombe's videotape, released in May of 1995, is entitled "A New Spirit In China: The 'Toronto Blessing' in China and Mass Conversions." It contains live footage of Chinese Christians experiencing revival, and in a segment dated January 1, 1995 from the northern Onway province, people are can be seen experiencing, holy laughter and "drunkenness" in the Spirit, falling to the floor, shaking, and vocalizing in unusual ways.
