One gathering was held in Shankou Town gathering site, Hepu County, Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on April 29, attended by only 12 local believers, along with a few "outsiders," totaling less than twenty individuals.
The gathering site has been relocated multiple times since 2012. Believers used to meet in their village homes and eventually moved to the current location in 2018.
Due to the limited clergy from the Hepu County churches and Hepu CC&TSPM, services are held every Saturday, which is convenient for pastors to spare time to preach and host sacraments as they are busy in other churches on Sundays.
In that day's communion ceremony, the oldest male Christian, aged ninety, took his elderly wife in his electric car, while a female believer, nearly ninety years old, came on her cane with four "legs" to attend the church.
The other meeting point is located in Xichang Town in Heping County, Beihai City, where there is a shallow coastal aquaculture base for oysters, prawns, clams, and mudskipper fish, as well as a sugarcane plantation.
Here, nearly 40 members gathered on April 30 to read the Bible, pray, and praise.
Rev. Zhang Ye Zhong, president of the Beihai Christian Council (CC), hosted the service and delivered a sermon on the significance of being baptized and returning to the Lord in the local Cantonese dialect. Then he led the sacraments.
Eleven seekers were baptized, which was surprising to many given the size of the group.
The Xichang Town gathering site has been meeting since 2012 and regularly conducts services in the home of a female believer named Mo Yilan's house after experiencing several moves and hardships.

受差派，我走访广西北海的基层教会。
4月29日上午，走访山口聚会点。前来参加聚会和圣餐礼拜的只有十二位本地的弟兄姊妹，算上我们这些“外来的”肢体，也就是不到二十人。
据介绍：山口聚会点2012年开始聚会，这期间，前前后后“搬家”好几次。原来在村里的信徒家里聚会，2018年才搬到现在的教堂。
由于合浦县教会和基督教两会的神职人员有限，所以他们的聚会按照安排是在每个礼拜六举行。这样方便县两会的传道人错开主日的“高峰”，来到这里牧养和举行圣事活动，而不是在主日。
今天的圣餐礼拜，其中年龄最大的九十岁的老弟兄开着电动车携老妻子来到教堂，还有年近九旬的老姊妹拄着四个“腿”的手杖也来到这里。。
在广西壮族自治区的北海市合浦县有一个具有浅海滩涂养殖大蚝、对虾、泥蚶、弹涂鱼等水产品和甘蔗种植基地的小镇：西场镇。这里有西场镇聚会点。
4月30日，首先我们来到了北海市的生命河活动点，参加今天的主日崇拜。然后我们又来到西场镇聚会点。
这里今天大约有近40位肢体在聚会，大家在一起读经、祷告、赞美。今天，他们将举行圣洗礼和圣餐礼。
这个活动点2012年开始聚会活动，期间也是几经周折、几次搬家，最后搬到教会的莫义兰姊妹自己家的一楼作为聚会的场所。
首先，由张业忠牧师带领会众读经、祷告。他用当地的粤语围绕受洗归主的重要意义为主证道。之后由张牧师主礼，开始了此次的圣洗礼和圣餐礼。
今天的聚会将近四十人，竟然有十一位弟兄姊妹接受洗礼。
