A new church named Jiayin Church stands in Sanjia Village, an inconvenient place with mountains in Yiliang, Yunnan.

On April 3, 2016, the church held the dedication ceremony and some pastoral staff including Rev. Bian Wen'ai from Beijing Haidian Church attended it. Rev Bian presided the dedication.

Since the church is located 1984 meters vertically higher than villages at the foot of the mountain,it took three to five hours' walk for locals to attend the dedication.

According to Haidian Church, the previous chapel building in Sanjia Village was seriously damaged by earthquakes in 2012. For almost one year the local believers prayed for the reconstruction and pastors from Haidian Church arrived here the first time in 2014 when the reconstruction began. They visited here again the next year, bringing them donation and modified design project drawings. Locals also gave donations to support the reconstruction.
