CCC&TSPM held a video conference with the National Council of Churches in Singapore for mutual exchanges. 

On November 30, Rev. Wu Wei, president of China Christian Council (CCC), said that the COVID-19 pandemic was a lesson for the Chinese church to learn to be quiet before God, according to CCC&TSPM. The church strove to integrate the Christian faith into daily life. 

The pastor expressed thanks to the donations by the Council in Singapore during the pandemic. 

Rev. Shen Xuebin, vice-president of CCC, stated that the church should raise more awareness of the importance of preaching in the post-pandemic era and try different ways to attract young people. 

Bishop Terry Kee, vice-president of the National Council of Churches in Singapore, introduced the current situation of the domestic church and how Christians were nurtured under the restrictions enforced as a result of the pandemic.

The two sides both expressed a desire to maintain the friendship, expecting future visits when the pandemic is over.
