Arranged and introduced by CCC&TSPM and Inner Mongolia CC&TSPM, a 35-person delegation from United Bible Societies and Bethesda Frankel Estate Church led by Elder Wang Dezai visited churches in Tongliao from 11th to 13th September, 2018 with the purpose of fostering mutual understanding. Rev. Gao Youhong, Vice-Chairman and Secretary General of Inner Mongolia CC&TSPM and preacher Wang Zongzhu, staff of Inner Mongolia CC&TSPM accompanied the delegation.
On 12th September, the delegation took a tourist bus to Baolongshan Church and Baokang Church in Kezuo Zhongqi, an eastern city in Inner Mongolia. The guests learned about the translation of Mongolian Language Bible in Baolongshan Church and Mongolian Bible study classes in Baokang Church. They exchanged gifts with hosts in both churches and sang hymns together and then returned to the Khorshin Hotel.
According to the Overseas Relations Department of CCC&TSPM, United Bible Societies and Bethesda Frankel Estate Church are old friends of the Chinese churches, and have long been supporting the Bible mission in China for many years. Exchange activities with them contribute to friendly communications between churches and peoples in China and Singapore, showcasing the the accomplishments of comprehensively implementing the Policy of Reglious Freedom in China and the healthy development of the Chinese Church.
Responding to CCC&TSPM'S request for local churches to do reception work well, Tongliao churches received the delegation with warm hospitability and presented them with hata and traditional Mongolian dishes, which are the highest Mongolian etiquettes for guest reception. After the meal, the guests bid farewell to Tongliao churches and left Inner Mongolia.
