The date April 12, Easter Day, was also the first anniversary of the founding of the Chongwenmen Church Bible Transcription Fellowship.

Though brothers and sisters had not met for 3 months because of the epidemic, they didn't stop the pace of Bible copying.

In celebrating the 1st anniversary of the founding of the Bible Transcription Fellowship in the online format, a video of blessing entitled, "Thanks for Your Companionship" was shared in the fellowship's WeChat group.

The group suddenly bubbled over with emotion, with brothers and sisters one after another expressing themselves through brush or hard calligraphy on the theme, "The Resurrection of Jesus", through thanksgiving and blessing videos, and through sharing personal photos when writing.

Sister Zhao Lihua joined the Bible Transcription Fellowship for a short time and was moved by the Holy Spirit in the process of copying the Bible. While copying the "Apostles' Creed", she couldn't help but burst into tears. She shared in the group: "I must diligently practice transcribing the Bible so that my spiritual life can keep growing."

There was also a conscientious leader, Brother Wu, who daily answered questions in the group, transcribed the Bible and encouraged everyone, and who weekly posted homework, checked and made comments.

Before the epidemic, the Bible Transcription Fellowship met every Sunday, and the vision was to "saturate" the pen with God's love, serve Christ by copying the Scriptures, and all together witness to the grace and truth of Christ.
