Reflecting on her spiritual transformation, she said, "When I came to understand God's love and blessings, I realized the need to respond rightly. I no longer focus on worldly matters, nor am I overly concerned with the opinions of others. In the past, I feared what people might say, but now I strive to live according to the Lord's perspective. As long as my actions are clear before God, that is enough."

Pastor Shan's "Four BE Methods" are more than a set of strategies—they represent a shift in mindset: from expecting young people to adapt to the church to the church actively adapting to them, from focusing solely on teaching truth to emphasizing relationships and life, and from seeking quick results to trusting in God's sovereignty and timing.

While the place has long since been transformed by urban expansion, an elderly Christian still vividly remembers those lively scenes when forty to fifty people crammed in a courtyard, listening to the sermons and singing hymns, whereas he, sitting on a small stool, unable to resist sleepiness, kept dozing off.

In today’s world, it is not easy for Christians to hold fast to their faith, and passing it on within the family is even more challenging. When the entire household is called to serve, the task becomes all the more difficult.

Blurred boundaries are often the root of conflict in modern families, workplaces, and interpersonal relationships. Pastor Li, an experienced counselor in northern China, observed that much suffering arises from "crossing boundaries," such as parental overreach, leaders assuming absolute authority, and blurred responsibilities in relationships.

Having served as the leader of his church's youth fellowship for over a decade, Brother Bai suddenly received a suspension notice from the church. The fellowship had grown together with his own spiritual life since the early days of his faith journey.

Two decades ago, Sister Wu, originally from Northeast China, set out with her husband, Teacher Guo, and their four-year-old daughter, traveling thousands of kilometers to this unfamiliar mountainous region in southern China. Their mission was clear: to reach believers scattered across remote villages. "In the past, missionaries planted many seeds of the gospel deep in these mountains. We are here to serve and minister to them," she said.

Pastor Wang from Northwest China took a close look at the current challenges and circumstances surrounding theological education in China. In the past, Pastor Wang envisioned seminaries as places that would attract the most gifted and capable individuals, but he soon discovered a different reality. Many seminary students were "the ones left behind"—those who struggled academically, ethnic minority youth, and even troubled teens.

Throughout his ministry, Pastor Kou has served in various churches across central and southwestern China. In an interview, he highlighted a troubling trend in some churches today: certain pastors regard believers as "their own flock" rather than "the Lord's sheep."

He continued, "I believe that whatever I can accomplish in my counseling work is rooted in my faith. My relationship with God is personal and unique, and it is this uniqueness that sets me apart. There are many others who are more skilled than I am, but it is this distinct connection that gives me inspiration, strength, and wisdom."
