Last Sunday, a church in Wenzhou, China’s eastern coastal Zhejiang Province, held a meeting of the watchmen and a three-anniversary thanksgiving service of the prayer group for the reconstruction of the church.
According to Zhu’en Church in Longgang, as the sanctuary couldn’t accommodate the growing number of churchgoers, they went up to the mountains to bring down timber to rebuild the temple. A prayer group was set up in the first week of March 2018, while the first pile of foundation was laid down on June 5 of that year.
For three years, believers have always stood on the watchtower, praying to support all aspects of the construction which went smoothly without the slightest accident. Time and again, through prayers, they overcame Satanic and human attacks. On February 9, the church passed the completion acceptance inspection.
Now in the interior decoration phase, the sanctuary is expected to be completed and put into use before Christmas in 2021.
During the service, Elder Yang Jiehua encouraged the 276 faithful who participated in the watch prayer in 2021 to shoulder their mission and understand their positions and responsibilities with the attitude of Christ Jesus. He urged them to take the church as their home and stand on the watchtower to constantly pray for the church.

龙港主恩堂重建圣堂守望祷告人员会议暨三周年感恩礼拜，于2月28日举行，约有250余位弟兄姐妹参加。
教会遵照神的吩咐上山取木料，为耶和华的名建造圣殿，于2018年3月第1周开始，为重建圣堂建立守望祷告和当年6月5日进场打下第一个桩基至今的前后经历。
三年来，信徒始终站在守望楼上，以祷告托住在建工程各个环节，施工中平平安安，没有发生丝毫的意外事故。面对撒旦和人为的攻击，一次次地藉着祷告而胜过，圣堂于2021年2月9日，全面通过竣工验收合格。
圣堂现已进入内装饰阶段，预计2021年圣诞节前落成投入使用。
杨介化长老勉励276位参加2021年守望祷告的弟兄姊妹，要肩负使命并明白自己的岗位与职责，以基督耶稣的心为心。以教会就是我的家为天职，站在守望楼上作一位合格的守望者，祈愿神祝福这殿后来的荣耀，必大过先前的荣耀。
