On Dec 24 and 25, Mingde Christian Church in Urumqi, Xinjiang, held five Christmas services titled "Jesus is Coming for You."

According to the WeChat Journal of Urumqi Church, pastors shared on a Christmas theme in the five services. Messages like "Child Born for You," "Jesus Gives You Peace," "Jesus is Coming for You," and "See His Star" introduced Jesus the Savior to everyone.

Choirs like the youth fellowship praise group performed hymns of love to God. Ministry groups of ushers, multimedia staff, staff in charge of electric appliances, and medics served and offered an amazing Christmas worship.

The 2016 Christmas Thanksgiving Worship Service of Mingde Church ended with the hymn "Jesus, You're My Everything" by three choirs onstage.

Besides Mingde Church, other churches in Xinjiang also held celebrations on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Everyone welcomed the coming of the savior with singing and dancing. From Dec 23 to 25, Wuyi Farm Church and Anningqu Church held three-day Gatherings for Christmas Thanksgiving.
