As authorities and health workers continue to fight the spread of the coronavirus in China, most churches remain temporarily closed. Government authorities have ordered churches and other regular public gatherings to suspend activities until further notice. Yet, many Christians continue to minister via online platforms to their congregants. Many churches have taken to holding Sunday worship services online.
This short blog post from “Church Things” highlights ten Three-Self government churches that have gone online to serve their congregants. The services vary by church. Some offer essentially an entire service for someone to walk through on their own. Several churches provide links to a live stream of a Sunday service, while others simply offer a short recorded or written homily from the pastor. Many include recordings of hymns with text to sing along and a devotional for that Sunday.
Although many are confined to their homes, the word of God continues to go forward via online platforms in China. This type of ministry was practically unthinkable only a decade or two ago.
