New York Faith Bible Church Senior Pastor Rev. John Edward Hao recently concluded his visitation to the churches in China, to both the registered and non-registered churches.
His visitation with his church staffs to China were marked with God’s grace and testimonies of faith and love, for they’ve engaged in fellowships in Christ with the house churches and the churches and seminaries belonging to the Three-Self Patriotic Movement Protestant Churches and China Christian Council (TSPM/CCC).
They’ve traveled along the coast, throughout northern and southern part of China, stopping by the various house churches and the TSPM/CCC churches and seminaries on the way.
Hao, who is also the president of Faith Bible Seminary in New York, said that their fellowship with local Chinese believers included mutual encouragements to each other, prayers for one another, through which they experienced much of God’s grace.
