CCD Monthly July 2023

Foreword:

Greetings! We are China Christian Daily, the first comprehensive English Christian news website about the church in China. Thank you for your sincere love, prayers, and contributions to the Chinese church.

Family is the basic unit of society and also its foundation. During the pandemic, many Christians worshiped at home and started family worship, which contributed to closer relationships and connections. Three Chinese pastors all believe that every family is a small church, so an integral part of ministry lies in the family. Fine-tuned ministry to the family can be a good way to put the truth into practice and consolidate the church. Meanwhile, single mothers and single Christians are two important issues worthy of attention. The church is doing and can do more to help the groups overcome difficulties.
