The healing evangelistic conference attracted a large number of believers and seekers, with an average attendance of 502 people each night. The event was filled with testimonies of healing, showcasing the miraculous works of God.

During the Sunday service, Pastor Liu encouraged the congregation to continue sowing seeds so that they may experience the joy of reaping in the future. He recalled a saying commonly heard in early Chinese churches: "More prayer, more power; less prayer, less power; no prayer, no power."

Pastor Liu emphasized that the church's next step is to establish new small groups. He encouraged the small group leaders to have the spirit of Caleb, to revive the local pastoral area, and to aspire to expand beyond their current region.

This healing evangelistic conference was the sixth such event in the history of River of Life Christian Church. Reflecting on the church's history, these large-scale events have always been characterized by full mobilization, meticulous planning, and wholehearted service, continually bringing spiritual blessings and renewal to both believers and the community.
