The eighth Co-workers Retreat of Kunming Shijicheng Church began on August 3, 2020.
The two-day retreat was a good time for the church staff to get close to God. The co-workers withdrew from their work, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and retreated to a secluded place surrounded by the mountains.
After Pastor Dong Chenghua led the participants in worship and prayer, Pastor Pu Yunshan gave encouragement through some scriptures: "We must leave our safety zone and have a brave, strong and courageous heart, and preach the gospel of the Lord." He officially announced the beginning of the retreat.
The theme of the retreat was, "The Witness of the Times", with lectures given by Pastor Yue Zaoying. Yue shared that co-workers could become more effective if they focused on the identity, challenge, and shield of witnesses.
He spent much time preparing for this retreat and carefully prepared PPT courses and many interesting activities and games. He wanted the co-workers to see the joyful message that God has given to us. As witnesses to God’s work, we should remember to work hard because of the sacred trust that God has given us. We need to be the Elijah of this age by being a blessing to more people.
More than 50 believers participated in this retreat, the oldest was 72 years old.
After dinner, they watched the movie "The Pilgrim's Progress." While watching, some took notes and wrote down their own feelings and what they understood from the film. After watching, Pastor Pu summarized and shared the content of the film: "The life of a Christian is just like what is shown in the movie. Some people go off the rails and some walk on the wrong side of the path. Whether you turn to the left or to the right, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it' (Isaiah 30:21)."
Through group discussions, speeches, games, movies, and birthday parties, the co-workers expressed how much they had benefited and wrote down their spiritual growth plan for the coming year.

昆明世纪城教会举办服侍同工退修会
昆明世纪城教会教会第八届同工退修会于2020年8月3日开始。
此次退修会为期两天。同工退出一切属世的工作，远离尘世的喧嚣，退到这群山怀抱的僻静之地进行灵修，是与神亲近的最好时机。
东城华传道带领大家敬拜、祷告后，普云善牧师透过经文鼓励我们：“要有一颗勇敢刚强壮胆的心，走出我们的安全区，去传福音为主作见证。”并宣布退修会正式开始。
退修会的主题是：《时代的见证人》，由岳早盈传道主讲。岳传道分别从见证人的身份、见证人的挑战和见证人的盾牌三个方面进行讲解，使同工们在服侍的道路上更加得力。
岳传道为此次退修会附上了时间和精力，精心准备PPT课件，也准备了许多有趣的活动和游戏，让同工们在喜乐的游戏中领悟神教导我们的信息：我们要成为这个时代的见证人，牢记并努力去实践神在我们身上神圣的托付———成为这个时代的以利亚并成为更多人的祝福。
参与此次退修会的弟兄姐妹共50余人。来参加这次退修会的所有人员当中，年纪最大的是72岁。
晚饭后，参与者观看电影《天路历程》，在观看影片的过程中有弟兄姐妹不断边看边记笔记，写下自己的感受和领悟。电影结束后，普云善牧师对电影内容进行了总结分享：“基督徒的人生就如电影中播放的那样，有的人走着走着就走岔了、走偏了。而我们或向左或向右，你必听见后面有声音说，这是正路要行在其间（赛30：21）。
通过分组讨论、发言、游戏、观影、生日会等，弟兄姐妹表示感到受益匪浅，也写下了未来一年的“属灵生命”成长计划。
