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 the year 2020 comes to a close, it's a traditional season for Christians in China and the rest of the word to gather together to inspire faith, discuss strategies, and get started for the next year. Despite it being impossible to hold any Christian conference in mainland China, Christians are active in joining in conventions and summits conducted by overseas Chinese believers and famous speakers. Most of the gatherings are about faith, ministries, and evangelism. 

You can also read trending news as well as features such as the situation of rural churches after autumn harvest and the father of the Olympic Games in China.
