Four female believers shared their testimonies during a praise & worship service in a church based in south China's Guangdong Province.
On May 22, a sharing session was hosted in Pinghu Church of Shenzhen in the second of the two Sunday services which were resumed starting from the end of April.
"After suspending face-to-face worship services for nearly half a year, we should come to God to confess that He is our God. Though facing many difficulties amid the epidemic, we have to give thanks to God who is our shield," the church said.
After the praise and worship part, Rev. Huang preached a sermon about two points: "What is a testimony?" and "How to witness for the Lord?" Regarding how to be a witness for the Lord, Huang emphasized three aspects: authenticity, the exaltation of Jesus Christ, and accessibility.
During the testimony session, four female believers shared their testimonies.
Zhang Xiaoni said that her depressed and restless life was changed through spiritual practice. Impacted by hearing crows every morning at 6-7 o'clock since last winter, she told her situation to another female Christian who invited her to a Bible study group and then a prayer group. After Zhang studied the Bible and prayed, her condition improved.
Li Qinghua bore witness to God's protection over her husband and daughter. Before her husband came to Christ, he had experienced God's grace and protection, pulled back from the brink of death time after time. She confessed, "If there was no God, his life would have ended long ago."
Another believer surnamed Wu shared her testimony about how God listened to her prayer. She prayed to God on the way to Shenzhen from Guangxi where she bought a car at the time she was still not proficient in driving, as she got caught up in a downpour. The rain stopped immediately as God looked after her in desperation.
The fourth was He Xiuzhi who told her conversion story. Before she became a Christian, she often had no peace in her heart as her son was often sick. The family turned to a fortune teller. The person who believed in false gods told her that she would make 300,000 yuan within three years, but later she lost 300,000 yuan actually. Later, another female church member preached the gospel to her who knew God while attending worship and listening to sermons. She established a relationship with God in His Word, filled with peace in daily Bible reading and prayers. A male Christian Hu also testified, "Attentive to God's words, Sister He also came in first place during a Bible memorization competition."
After hearing the above stories, more believers intended to witness for the Lord. Due to limited time, the church decided to arrange another one next time.
In the final welcoming session, four seekers made prayers for confession led by Rev. Huang.

广东一教堂在主日第二场举行了见证赞美会，有4位女信徒做了感恩见证。
深圳平湖基督教堂，自四月底恢复聚会以来，每个主日举办两场聚会。5月22日，主日第二场平湖堂举办了感恩见证赞美会。平湖堂从1月9日起暂停实地聚会，经历了近半年的时间。教会特别为信徒准备了一场感恩见证赞美会。
“暂停聚会近半年的时间，再次复堂我们要来到神的面前，承认耶和华是我的神。虽然我们经历了疫情，会遇到很多难处，但他是我们的盾牌，我们还要向神献上感恩的祭。”
赞美结束，由黄牧师证道，她从“什么叫见证？”和“怎样为主作见证？”两点进行分享。在怎样为主作见证中，黄牧师特别强调了三点：首先是真实，其次是高举基督耶稣，最后是要通俗易懂。
在见证环节，由四位姊妹为大家带来了见证分享。
第一位，张小妮姊妹，见证了通过灵修生活改变自己原本压抑烦躁的生活。张姊妹去年冬天开始每天早上6-7点钟都能听到乌鸦的叫声，这个声音对姊妹影响很大，使她心理压抑，脾气暴躁。后来她和一位姊妹分享了自己的情况，那位姊妹就把她拉入了查经群，后又进了祷告群。当张姊妹跟着查经、祷告后，她的状态就变好了。
第二位，李清华姊妹，见证了神向着丈夫及女儿的保守。在她丈夫还没有信仰时就多次经历神大能的看顾，一次一次将她的丈夫从死亡边缘拉回。李姊妹告白：“如果没有神，他的生命早已不存在。”
第三位，吴瑞花姊妹，见证神是听祷告的神。姊妹在车技还不熟练时在广西买了一部车，要从广西开回深圳。返程当天遇到瓢泼大雨，无奈之下向上帝发出呼求，神看顾吴姊妹，即刻雨就停了。
第四位，何秀枝姊妹，见证了自己信仰前后的改变。姊妹信仰前，儿子经常生病，她心中常没有平安，然而越不平安事情越多。家里找跳大神的来看。给她算说三年之内要赚30万，结果不但没赚还赔了30万。后来有姊妹给她传了福音，何姊妹在参加聚会、听道中认识了神。她在话语中建立了与神的关系，在读经祷告中充满了平安。何姊妹因此也养成了每天读经的好习惯。胡弟兄也见证，“何姊妹对神的话语很用心，在一次背经比赛中，何姊妹还取得了第一名。”
听到分享，下面的信徒也有举手要为主见证的。由于时间有限，教会只能安排在下一次了。
在最后的迎新环节中，有四位没有信仰的慕道友迎接了信仰，黄牧师带领做了决志祷告
