Deacon Dai Yaping, chairman of Jiangyin Municipal TSPM, began to follow Christ with her husband's family after getting married. She was baptized in 1998 and entered the church under the guidance of her mother-in-law.
She helped a wheelchair couple, Brother Dou Guizheng and Sister Dong Piao. Twenty years ago, Brother Dou Guizheng was disabled, but his wife took his son and abandoned him. He, originally from Jiangsu, wandered more than half of China in search of his son. Twenty years later, he and Sister Dong Piao who is from Fujian formed a new family. The son completed his studies and formed a family, and now he has both a son and a daughter. After forming a family, they settled in Fuzhou. They came back to Jiangsu this time to celebrate their three-year-old granddaughter's birthday and to meet their four-month-old grandson.
In addition to serving in the church, Deacon Dai Yaping also runs a medium-sized business. She often goes to visit Dou's family, and this birthday party was organized by her.
Previously, she sponsored Dou's son to go to school, helped donate an electric wheelchair for the family, and arranged work for him. Brother Dou and his wife left for Fuzhou on the second day of the birthday party. The church donated 2,000 yuan to them, and Deacon Dai personally donated 1,000 yuan.
Rev. Xiong Juanfen of Jiangyin International Church said, "She (Deacon Dai Yaping) is simply a philanthropist." During the epidemic, when the preacher's salary could not be paid, she used her own money to pay the preacher's salary. She pays great attention to cultivating young preachers for the church.
Deacon Dai Yaping also carries out charity service work in the church, delivering cold drinks and other cooling things to firefighters, traffic police, and other staff working outdoors in hot weather. This summer, Jiangyin International Church offered items worth about 5,400 yuan to staff in four locations. In addition, this year, the church spent more than 84,000 yuan on condolences to the elderly and destitute households, supporting the fight against the epidemic, and donating supplies to the community and sub-district offices.
On the recent Tencent 99 Charity Day, China's largest online fundraising day, Deacon Dai Yaping actively donated to some charity projects that raised funds.
As a church leader and an entrepreneur, she says everything she does is to glorify God. Regarding serving, she said: "Serving the Lord does not depend on man's ingenuity, plans, strategies, methods, or man's wealth and status. The most important thing in serving the Lord is to prepare yourself to become the vessel useful for the Lord!"

戴亚萍执事是在结婚后随夫家开始信仰基督教，1998年受洗，在婆婆的引导下进入教会服事。
她对一对轮椅夫妇窦贵争弟兄和董飘姐妹（加超链接）帮助很多。窦贵争弟兄一生磨难，20年前，他身患残疾，妻离子散，漂泊大半个中国寻找儿子。20年后，他和董飘姐妹组建了新的家庭。儿子完成学业，成家立业，如今也已儿女双全。窦弟兄是江苏人，董姐妹是福建人，组建家庭之后定居在福州生活。此次回来江苏，是给三岁的小孙女过生日，也见见刚出生四个月的小孙子。
戴亚萍执事除了在教会侍奉，也经营着一家中型企业。她常去探望窦通一家，这个生日宴就是她一手操办的。
之前资助窦通上学，帮助奉献电动轮椅，为窦通安排工作。生日宴第二天窦弟兄夫妇启程返回福州，教会给他们奉献了两千元，戴亚萍执事个人奉献了一千元。
江阴国际礼拜堂的熊娟芬牧师说：“她（戴亚萍执事）简直是个慈善家”，疫情期间，传道人工资发不出来的时候，她拿自己的钱给传道人发工资。戴亚萍执事是江阴市三自爱国运动委员会的主席，她非常注重为教会培养年轻的传道人。
戴亚萍执事也在教会开展慈善服务工作，在高温天气为户外工作的消防员、交警等工作人员送冷饮以及其他降温的东西。今年夏天的送清凉活动，江阴国际礼拜堂为四个场所的工作人员送出价值大约5400元的物品。此外，教会今年在慰问老人、特困户，支援抗疫，为社区和街道办事处捐赠物资上共计花费超过8万4千元。
在刚刚过去的腾讯九九公益日，戴亚萍执事就为一些募捐的公益项目积极捐款。
兼具教会领袖和企业家双重身份，她说做的所有事情都是为荣耀神。对于侍奉，她说：“事奉主不是靠⼈的聪明才智，不是靠计划、策略、⽅法，也不是靠⼈的财⼒和地位。事奉主最重要的事乃是豫备⾃⼰成为主合⽤的器⽫！”
