Under the Baoshan City Christian Council, the Baoshan Christian Drug Rehabilitation Centre was established on 15 September 2007 by Reverend Xu Chengyun, son of the founder of the Baoshan Bible Training Center (please see earlier story http://www.ubscp.org/bible-tools-for-bible-students/).This self-funded drug rehabilitation centre, lauded by the government for its contribution in social services, had received a national award in Beijing some time ago.
