On November 7th, Amity Foundation held its 20th anniversary ceremony in Nanjing, China. Prominent Chinese Christian leaders and government officials attended the event.

Influential guests who attended the event include Amity Foundation President Ding Guangxun, Three-Self Patriotic Movement Chairman Ji Jianhong, China Christian Council President Cao Shengji, and Central Military Commission Director Liu Yangdong. Staffs from Amity Foundation and other overseas partner organizations also were also present at the ceremony.

It has been tremendous help to us, and on behalf of the Chinese I sincerely thank everyone for the support." He also mentioned that he hopes Amity may contribute much to China's social development.

Since November 5th, Amity has featured over 60 displays at the Xianfeng Bookstore on projects operated in various provinces since its establishment.
