Church Services
Xinzheng, Henan

5. Church is Over

When the service is over all 1,500 to 2,000 members must exit out the one gate. It is a great tangle of two and three-wheel bikes, motorcycles, scooters, cars and people. All is done with little or no problem. Most are quite patient. We wait in the car until most of the crowd has gone. Almost without exception several big trucks with trailer come down the street just as Church is over. Just outside the gate is the railroad tracks running along the side of the street. It seems a train comes through during the service at least once a sermon, sometimes twice. The pastor just waits for a few minutes.
