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, prayer for, and contributions to the Chinese church.

As churches in China are gradually reopening, pastors resume their busy work. We often see their performance, but seldom get to know their heart. We have selected three pastors at different ages, regions, and with different genders. Two of them feel honored and happy to be used by God, while the Gen Z pastor stated he should be his true self in serving the Lord. 

You can also read trending news as well as features such as an African man's church experience in China and a mother's graceful journey to Auckland.
