Rev. Shan Weixiang affirmed the work of the Media Committee over the past five years. He pointed out that the magazine Tianfeng and the website of CCC&TSPM served as windows for the Church in China, greatly satisfying the spiritual needs of believers through the publication of the Bible and spiritual books. He also mentioned the challenges faced by the media publication and distribution ministry, such as the decline of traditional print media, the rise of multimedia, difficulties in publishing and distribution, and changes in distribution channels. Saying challenges were opportunities, he emphasized that Christian publishing and promotional work were not only necessary for spreading the gospel but also windows for the church to showcase itself to society. The church should open its doors to present itself, engage in social activities, and tell the story of the Church in China.
