Rev. Zhang Xiansheng stated that the launching ceremony had significant meaning, which was a further practice of the Christian Community. The practice aimed at “improving an active role of religious circles and believers in promoting economic and social development; building a harmonious society and promoting cultural prosperity”. It was another mobilization and encouragement for the religious community to invest in public charity, and it also was a display of love dedication, religious charity ideas and action. The project helped to further enhance social responsibility and civic awareness of our Christian community, to release the huge public charity energy contained in religious people, to promote social integration in the Christian Community, and to promote the understanding of Christianity all over the world.

Rev. Xu Xiaohong pointed out in his speech that CCC&TSPM have always followed the instructions of Jesus, which was “do not enslave others; Just serve others” and “serving is more blessed than receiving”. Charity activities were a major way to practice Christian beliefs. They were a peculiar performance of Christian charity ethics and an important part of the church ministry. Only through public charity activities could we demonstrate that the church was brave enough to take social responsibility and practice the ethics of church love. Caring society was a fine tradition of Christianity, and serving others was a part of Christians. We should be actively involved in charity activities through caring society and serving society, such as medical and health care, retirement care, poverty alleviation, disaster relief, spiritual comfort, public facilities construction, and environmental protection with qualified churches and believers. We had done some useful work with marvelous results in philanthropy and charity. We began with small things and our neighbors. Not only did we take action during the charity week, we also regarded church charity as a part of the daily ministry. These caring affairs have been fully affirmed by party committees and governments at all levels, and also gained the encouragement from all walks of life. Social Services Department of CCC&TSPM donated 750 love packs at the TPS, organized health knowledge training and gratuitous treatment to teachers, students and the surrounding villagers. We would be still stuck spreading love.

The young students expressed that they were born in poverty-stricken mountainous areas. Their parents worked far away in order to improve life quality. In the absence of family love, it was the love of teachers and classmates who encourage each other, as well as caring people in society. These love let them enjoy the warmth of our homeland. They are learning and living environment was changing gradually, and they were also growing vigorously. When they grew up, they would contribute to society, spread love, and let Chinese Dream come true.
