A recent training course was conducted for reporters affiliated with CCC&TSPM's official website and its flagship magazine, Tianfeng, also known as the Heavenly Wind.
The training conference took place in Taiyuan, Shanxi, from July 10 to July 13, and nearly 60 staff members, including correspondents and website volunteers from all over the country, attended.
During the opening ceremony on July 11, Rev. Shan Weixiang, vice president and general secretary of the China Christian Council (CCC), suggested that participants assume the roles of thinkers, recorders, and promoters of the localization of Christianity in China. They were encouraged to establish closer connections with believers, understand their aspirations, provide advice and suggestions for church development, and continuously enhance their own learning and personal growth.
In a special lecture session, Rev. Shan delivered a lecture titled "Exploring the Sinicization of Christianity in a More Profound and Practical Manner." Shan emphasized that the sinicization of Christianity not only necessitated integrating Christianity with the distinctive characteristics of the Chinese nation in terms of expression and interpretation but also incorporating the common revelations bestowed by God within the rich cultural heritage of ancient times.
In an afternoon lecture, Huang Yan, director of the Policy and Regulation Division of the United Front Work Department of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), explained the background and main content of the "Administrative Measures for Internet Religious Information Services" (referred to as the "Measures"), using real-life examples.
Subsequently, Rev. Zhang Yaofa, vice president of Zhejiang Christian Council (CC) and president of Hangzhou CC, shared his experiences in exploring and implementing internet information service platforms in local churches in recent years. He discussed the establishment process of the "Renai Hangzhou" application for the Hangzhou church, along with the types of carriers and tools employed by the church's internet ministry. Rev. Zhang highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of their usage. He expressed Hangzhou CC&TSPM's willingness to share their church's internet pastoral digital system technology to assist other churches in carrying out ministry activities in a legal and compliant manner.
During the morning service on June 12, Rev. Zhang Ling from Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, delivered a sermon titled "What Is in Your Hand?" drawing from Exodus 4:2–7. She urged staff members to go through training, receive the Lord's anointing, and serve the Lord in light of Moses' experience.
In the ministry sharing session on June 13, Rev. Hao Zhiqiang, chief editor of Tianfeng, conducted an in-depth analysis of the implementation of the Measures by CC&TSPMs and seminaries across provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government). He presented data on the Internet Media Ministry of CCC&TSPM and highlighted the need to further enhance the awareness of "integration". Rev. Hao emphasized the importance of diversifying media platforms and channels, improving the quality of Internet media ministry content, and incorporating diverse formats such as text, images, audio, and video. Additionally, he stressed the ongoing need to train professional talents and enhance their technical capabilities.
Zhang Lili, a staff member of the website team of the Media Ministry, analyzed relevant data and common issues found in reporters' articles over the past year. She reiterated the fundamental requirements for article writing by correspondents and identified deficiencies and corresponding improvement measures through the examination of several article cases.
During the afternoon session, members of the correspondent and volunteer groups exchanged views on the special lectures and ministry-sharing session. They shared their work experiences concerning article quality, timeliness, and models of media integration and also put forth valuable opinions and suggestions.
At the closing ceremony, six reporters were recognized and awarded as the Excellent Correspondents of Tianfeng in 2023.

据中国基督教两会，7月10日至13日，《天风》和中国基督教网通讯员培训班在山西太原召开。来自全国各地的通讯员及网站义工等近60位同工参加了培训。
11日上午，开幕式中，中国基督教协会副会长兼总干事单渭祥牧师在致辞中期望与会同工成为基督教中国化的思考者、书写者和宣传者；在日常服侍中要联系实际，走近信徒，了解民心，为教会建设出谋献策，同时不断加强自身的学习和修养。
在专题讲座环节，单渭祥牧师以“漫谈基督教中国化走深走实”为题进行了讲座。单牧师指出，基督教中国化不仅需要基督教在表达、诠释上有民族性的形式，也同样需要吸纳古老优秀民族文化沃土中上帝所赐予的普通启示之养分。
下午的专题讲座中，山西省委统战部政策法规处处长黄岩结合实际案例，从《互联网宗教信息服务管理办法》制定的背景、主要内容等方面进行了解读。
随后，浙江省基督教协会副会长、杭州市基督教协会会长张耀法牧师结合近年来在当地教会进行互联网信息服务平台建设探索与实践的经验，介绍了“仁爱杭州”应用程序建立的背景、过程，以及当下教会互联网事工开展的载体与工具类型及其使用过程中的优缺点。张牧师表示，杭州基督教两会愿意在教会互联网牧养数字系统方面实现技术共享，助力教会合法合规地开展各项事工。
12日的早灵修由新疆维吾尔自治区乌鲁木齐市基督教会张玲牧师证道，引用《出埃及记》4章2节至7节的经文，以“你手里是什么？”为题，借着摩西的经历，劝勉与会同工要经过训练，被主膏抹，为主所用。
上午事工分享中，《天风》主编蒿志强牧师对各省（自治区、直辖市）基督教两会与神学院校落实《互联网宗教信息服务管理办法》的情况进行了深入分析，并对基督教全国两会互联网传媒事工数据进行了介绍。他指出，各地要进一步提升“融”的意识，媒体平台、渠道要多样化，各地互联网传媒事工内容质量仍需提升，图文、音视频也应多样化，并要不断培养专业人才，提升专业技术能力。
传媒事工部网站组张莉莉同工，对近一年来通讯员新闻稿件相关数据和常见问题做了分析。再次强调通讯员新闻稿件写作的基本要求，并选取了若干稿件案例梳理了不足之处与对应改进措施。
下午，通讯员组和义工组的同工分别围绕专题讲座与事工分享内容进行了交流，同工们不仅在稿件质量、时效性、融媒体模式等方面总结提炼了各自不同的工作经验，也提出了不少有价值的意见和建议。
闭幕式上，有6位通讯员同工被评为2023年度《天风》优秀通讯员。
