Churches in three provinces helped in the fight against COVID-19, including presenting food to frontline workers and opening their doors to be used as nucleic acid testing centers.
On November 9, local pastors and believer representatives paid a visit to the frontline anti-pandemic workers in Xingfu Community, Dujiangyan, Chengdu, Sichuan Province sending them 600 barrels of instant noodles and 690 kilograms of environmental-friendly charcoal, according to the Department of Ethnic & Religious Affairs of Chengdu.
Recently, Liangjiang Town Church in Antu County, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province, sent emergency food and supplies to people who were in panic due to having insufficient food at home. Members of the church gave fruits, sausages, bread, and salted duck eggs to the staff of each monitoring station, special police, and medical staff, who worked in the cold weather.
Suffering a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak, Pulandian Church in Wenhua Road, Dalian, Liaoning, was open for nucleic acid testing, assigning three staff workers to assist in the testing work for five batches of more than 30,000 citizens, according to statistics from the local authority. In addition, pastoral workers incorporated the pandemic prevention and control rules into the online sermons, calling on Christians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and take nucleic acid tests.

近日，吉林省延边州安图县两江镇基督教堂了解到部分百姓因家里粮食不够，恐慌不安，教会立刻给百姓家里送去应急粮食和用品。 并且组织同工给每个监控站点设卡人员、特警、医护人员送去水果、香肠、面包、咸鸭蛋等食物，给他们补充体力以抵挡寒冷天气。
