On Tuesday morning, Xingsheng Church in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, hosted a fasting, prayer, and praise gathering at the beginning of the month.

This monthly fasting, prayer, and praise meeting has been a tradition at Xingsheng Church for 18 consecutive years, beginning in 2007. Over these 18 years of dedication, the number of co-workers in the church has steadily grown to nearly 400, serving across 18 fellowships and groups. The congregation continues to expand annually, with various ministries experiencing growth and renewal. Appropriately, it is a flourishing church—living up to its name, "Xingsheng," in Chinese.

The prayer and praise meeting on January 7 focused on praise, prayer, sharing, and exhortation. Rev. Xu Ling shared insights on the spiritual significance of fasting and prayer.

The entire congregation reflected, giving thanks, praying, and praising as they counted the blessings of God's grace.
