A church in northeast China held its first baptism in the second half of 2023.

On July 2, Rev. Wu Bing preached on the topic of "Do You Really Believe in the Lord?", at the Gospel Church in Ganjingzi District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. After reading the story in Acts 16 about Lydia, who sold purple cloth, and who really loved the Lord, he mentioned three elements of true love for the Lord: mutual affection, self-sacrifice, and dedication.

After the sermon, Rev. Wu presided over a baptism ceremony for the seven catechumens.
