Mandryk, Operation World (2010), p.237, listed a percentage which amounts to 783,800 TSPM believers in Hunan.

The China Christian Council in Hunan appeared to deny the existence of hundreds of thousands of believers in the Three-Self churches within the province. In 1997 the official Amity News Service (September 1997) gave a figure of 300,000. A much later estimate (Amity News Service, November 2003) sharply downgraded the number of TSPM Christians in Hunan to "between 100,000 to 170,000," while Amity News Service (November-December 2004), reduced the number sharply again to just 78,600! The March 2009 issue of Tianfeng raised the figure back to 300,000 registered believers, meeting in 1,200 churches.
