Did you try seaching the interweb or even this website first?

 

Two Christian churches in Nanning listed here (I assume Protestant as they are not listed as Catholic):

http://listings.echinacities.com/nanning/detail/5905-Zhongshanlu-Christi...

http://listings.echinacities.com/nanning/detail/5906-Gonghelu-Christian-...

 

Gonghe lu might be able to help you as they've had American Baptists giving free English clases there in the past:  https://www.baptiststandard.com/news/texas/9054-san-antonio-woman-believes-god-prepared-place-of-service-in-china

 

The problem you'll have with both of these is that the services will be in Chinese and probably for Chinese citizens only.

 

I live in Guangzhou and there is one place where the government allows non-Chinese to go and have weekly services but they don't allow Chinese citizens to go there.

 

Good luck as the above is all I can find except for this: http://www.nanninghere.com/location-protestant-church-in-nanning

Try contacing the Indian guy who left his phone number in the 3rd post in 2012.

Hi hotwater. I had went to the very location and had called the indian guy in which his phone was inactive aka dead. We did went to the very location which is on Gong He Lu number 168 very close to the parkson compound Chong San Lu.

The Church is called GONG HE LU CHURCH OF NANNING. Sadly for us the English church were no more and none in our group understands Chinese.

It truly looks like a great church to be apart of.

The church building are right beside a hotel called Yeste Hotel and another hotel called Baba Hotel.

The sermon were held on 2nd floor and children's service on 3rd.

I guess Christians expat in Nanning should group up and make their own community- cell in my opinion- or some sort of bible study group once a month or something.

Anyway thanks for the info.

Hotwater:

Aah so you'd done your homework first, sorry for assuming you might not have done. 

 

Starting your own bible study group sounds like your only option then. Please be careful though as you'll know that religion is controlled here. I'd suggest keeping your group as only foreigners or the authorities might class you as a "house church" which is frowned upon.

Not sure about Nanning I was attending church here regularly in Wuhan for sometime, always felt uncomfortable, and each service lasted anything between 120- 160 minutes that heck of a long time. It was always relayed in Chinese language with  around 300 people present each time. The last time I attended I was shocked that a young man aged around 18 came out in priests  garments and started to conduct the service. Later outside I was totally insulted by a middle aged woman, who approached me and bluntly spoke that I was not a true Christian as I had tattoo's. Well you can take the rug from under my feet, kick me around the floor, call me names but this has been the biggest insult throughout my life. If this had been a man I would be in prison. I was totally insulted by this remark. I have been baptised, christened, and have attended RC mass services throughout my life regularly and in all 42 countries I have visited, and had to come to China to be insulted in the highest degree. Never again in China to any church service.

sorrel:

she sounds like such a 'Christian' woman.

there is nothing worse than a religious zealot - of any persuasion.

better to be a good person with core values and moral code, and tolerant of others

edit. there is no reason why you shouldn't return there. I'd smile and ask her - 'what would Jesus do?'

We have big 'religion thing' going on in Jianou. We have Christian church, close to my apartment. A month ago, I got lost in the city, and I called rep. When I told him, I'm in front of the Christian church, he told me, he never heard of church in the city.

They don't use it for religious purposes. Entrance to church is filled with books, so it looks like some kind of a library or storage, but architecture is 'Christian church'.

We have group of people, dressed in black kimono like dresses, burning small (2 m length) paper ship. The ship is made out of wire, and then they stick paper in red colour on it. After they're done with burning, they take ship with them for the next time session. Their music remains me on buddhist thingy. Clinging, and singing.

Nanning, I've never been there. You could ask at the bank or hospital. Some bankers and MDs speak English.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
