A church in Fujian Province held a gathering with migrant workers and entrepreneurs to mark the Chinese New Year.
On February 12, the third day of the lunar new year, Yongding District Church celebrated the festival with believers from Yongding who work remotely from their homes and some entrepreneurs at an unfinished tulou church (tulou is a Hakka-style rural earth building in an enclosed rectangular or circular configuration in the mountains of southeastern Fujian, China) in Hukeng Township, Yongding District.
Rev. Zheng Rujian briefed on the construction process of the earth building with the nearly 50 attendees, addressing that, with the support of the neighboring churches in Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Zhangzhou cities, this tulou building has completed the exterior decoration and the decoration of the chapel on the first floor. The second and third floors have not been decorated due to the impact of the pandemic and the fact that all funds have yet to be collected. Eight rooms on the second floor will be furnished as reception rooms for believers, and the third floor will be used as a venue for various fellowship activities in the church following the decorations.

福建省一教会在末完工的土楼教堂举行务工信徒暨企业家新春团拜会。
2月12日，正月初三，龙岩市永定区教会在永定湖坑末完工的土楼教堂一永定籍外出打工的信徒和部分企业家一起庆祝春节。
郑如健牧师向到会近五十多位乡贤介绍土楼的建设过程。说到 在福州、厦门、和漳州等兄弟教会的支持下，土楼己完成了外装修和一楼礼拜堂装修。另因疫情影响，加上资金还未全部到位，土楼的二至三层均未装修。二楼将开发8间房间作为信徒的旅游接待用房，三楼装修后则作为教会中各团契活动的场地。
