Summary:

Large Churches in the U.S. host various conferences each year, the Gospel Coalition has a national conference every other year, each major denomination in America has annual assemblies and business meetings, but for the house churches in China, these types of gatherings are impossible due to political and security reasons.  However, our brothers and sisters in China still find creative ways to get together and encourage one another.  Recently, a couple of us were able to join them in one of these gatherings, and these are some of our reflections from that gathering.
