The Gospel Church in Shangsi County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, held an outdoor gathering on May Fourth Youth Day.
Huang Xiang, head of the church and a member of the Standing Committee of the Guangxi CC&TSPM, said that the goal of this event was to "influence lives with life" that young Christians led non-Christian friends to participate in outdoor activities to integrate into nature and join the fellowship, sharing God’s words and witness with them. After the activity, they would guide them to attend services to learn the Bible and then to be baptized.
With hymns including "The Sun Above the Clouds" and "We Walk Together on This Road", some church members and their friends started an interactive party.
Rev. Zeng Bihui shared a sermon titled "Ministry and Teaching", welcoming the newcomers with a grateful heart.
After the gospel Q&A, praise and worship, prayer, and testimony parts, He Haiyan led participants to play games, such as "passing flour", tug-of-war competition, "sweet potato kiln", and guessing the Bible verses. In the end, they made dumplings and barbecues.
After the event, they went to visit two young believers who were sick with the remaining 1000 yuan of the activity funds.
