On May 20, 2018, the Yicheng District TSPM of Zaozhuang, Shandong, published messages on its official WeChat account to solicit records and clues about the history of local Christianity.
The local TSPM expected to "witness God's sovereignty in the church history" through collecting and sorting out the history of Christianity in Yicheng District centered around a century-old church. It also wanted to inspire the congregational love to God through the church history.
It also recruited 15 corresponding writers to compile the history, regardless of Christians or non-Christians.
