Responses from readers of Kingdom of God Magazine
It turned out to be KRC’s handiwork!
In 2006, before I became a reader of Kingdom of God magazine, one day suddenly an alumnus of the seminary in Taiwan forwarded to me an article scanned from a photocopy. Although it was not very clear, its content was shocking, profound, and It was pertinent, but it made me read it word for word from beginning to end, that is, the exclusive interview with Pastor Ji Fuzan - "Crime and Punishment, Regret and Grace".
This time I read "Crime and Punishment, Regret and Grace Part Ⅱ" in the 27th issue of Kingdom of God, and I realized that it was originally written by this publication that I couldn't put down. Yes, "sin must be punished, and repentance must be graced." I sincerely thank and watch for Pastor Ji Fuzan who has looked up from the bottom of his life to the loving face of Heavenly Father. I also offer endless gratitude to God for the magnanimity and dedication of your team.

From employing pastoralists to loving pastoralists
The "forward-looking power, breakthrough power, challenging power, application power, inspirational power, knowledge power, and action power" that your magazine has repeatedly emphasized are in the community unit and relationship unit of the previous issue a series of "helping down" and "recovering" pastoral care. It can be said that this is most vividly reflected in his reports and teachings. It’s gratifying, congratulatory, respectable, and admirable!
Pastor Ye Gaofang's famous saying: "After the church's pastoral recruitment committee completes its mission, it must immediately be reorganized into the pastoral care committee and never close!" I hope it will become the goal of our church's efforts.

"Great news, do you want it?"
I have read the 27th issue of your magazine "Great news, do you want it?" 〉One article. It’s really emotional.
The development of a preacher must go through a long period of time and huge investment by individuals and the church. Once it fails, it often falls apart overnight and is eliminated sadly. The most basic identity of a preacher is that of a child of God. Therefore, after making a mistake or committing a sin, he should be like an ordinary believer. He can enjoy the grace of being reconciled to God and being renewed and reconstructed by God. He should also gain the grace of being a member of the Lord while doing justice and justice. The outpouring of acceptance and kindness. —This is really an extremely difficult task to master, and it is also the most lacking link in the Chinese church culture.
This article gave me a very profound reminder and allowed me to see how a church that can balance grace and righteousness can turn curses into blessings.

Life-impacting ministry
The 25th issue of "Kingdom of God" "Reflections after Applause" has benefited me a lot. The article reports that Pastor Huang Jirong has served God down-to-earth for forty-five years. It turns out that God has been training him for a long time. He was born in a family with inherited mental illness. He had to do housework in junior high school. He did not go well in high school and even had suicidal thoughts. Later, the Lord Jesus completely changed his values and brought him His presence and blessings. He said that during the forty-five years of service, although there were changes in personnel, workplaces, and responsibilities, the Holy Spirit repeatedly reminded him to strengthen his faith and obey the Lord. He said, "When my co-workers and I began to trust and obey, God began to bless me." The Lord Himself went with him, and he found rest.
