To facilitate foreign believers to worship God in Shanghai, Shanghai CC&TSPM convened a meeting on the application of the extension of foreign services this year.
The English Sunday service in the Grace Church in Qingpu District of Shanghai was resumed on the afternoon December 13,with 64 foreigners participated. This was the first foreign service opened in the city since the outbreak of COVID-19.
I was a bit anxious, the dawn before my departure to China. It was the first time I was leaving my home country on my own. My father's advice was still fresh in my mind, while I got dressed. He said: "Try and get a church in the locality to attend but if there isn't any, be ready to start a fellowship with other Christians around."
