Today we visited threee churches about 2 hours (120klms) east of Xian. The county is called Pucheng. There are 57 churches registered here with over 30,000 believers, 1 Oversight Pastor and 57 lay ministers.
Our first visit took us to the main church where we were officially welcomed by the pastor and staff. In each of the other two churches were greeted with singing in the streets. The believers were excited to see us and receive their Bibles. We were greeted as if we were long lost relatives with ove and open arms.
The last church in "Chang Chuan" (lit: Chang Village) was te first church to be started in the region over 20 yrs ago. Their building was built 12 yrs ago. Membership is 600+ with a reguar Sunday attendance of over 450.
Chinese believers pray fervently for their church, which is why God is moving in wonderful ways.
Until next time Daniel Barreca
