On May 11, the Jilin CC&TSPM and the People ’s Government of Dongsanjiazi Mongolian Township in Songyuan City’s Qian Gorlos Mongol Autonomous County signed an agreement that commissions the construction and supervision of a well that will provide water during times of drought.
Pang Lei, secretary of the Communist Party Committee of Dongsanjiazi Township, Qianguo County, introduced the local situation. Dongsanjiazi Township is located 93 kilometers southwest of Qianguo County, with a total area of 256.9 square kilometers. It governs 9 administrative villages and 30 natural villages. The northern part of Dongsanjiazi Township is covered in sand dunes from east to west. The township has a total cultivated area of 12,000 hectares, and the main crop is corn. Due to the severe water shortage and sandy soil, there is year-round drought and low agricultural crop yields, which keeps Dongsanjiazi Township relatively backward.
In recent years, in order to solve the drought problem, the local government has raised funds to drill wells and install electric pumps. After hard work, 360 wells have been completed, but 240 more wells need to be drilled to serve the whole township. Because the groundwater level is more than 80 meters deep, and some places more than 100 meters deep, the cost of drilling wells continues to increase. At present, the cost of drilling a well and equipping it with an electric pump and other needed mechanical equipment costs 20,000 yuan.
Jilin CC&TSPM and Dongsanjiazi Township Government signed an agreement to donate 220,000 yuan for to dig 11 wells, complete with all the necessary equipment, that will guarantee a steady supply of water. They have entrusted the Dongsanjiazi Township Government with the responsibility of project and quality supervision.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, the churches in Jilin Province have been closed and worship services have been suspended. The funds for the anti-drought well project came from the following churches: 100,000 yuan was donated by Beijing Road Christian Church in Chuanying District, Jilin City; 40,000 yuan was donated by Park Road Christ Church, Erdao District, Changchun City; 40,000 yuan was donated by Fumin Christian Church, Fumin Street, Meihekou City; 20,000 yuan from, Songhui Road Christ Church, Chaoyang District, Changchun City; 20,000 yuan from East Sanma Road Christ Church, Nanguan District, Changchun City.

吉林省基督教两会与前郭县东三家子乡签署捐赠抗旱井工程资金协议
2020年5月11日，吉林省基督教两会与松原市前郭尔罗斯蒙古族自治县东三家子蒙古族乡人民政府签署“捐赠抗旱井工程委托施工及监管协议”。
前郭县东三家子乡党委书记庞磊介绍情况，前郭县东三家子乡位于前郭县城西南93公里，总面积256.9平方公里，辖9个行政村，30个自然屯。东三家子乡北部是东西走向连绵不断的沙丘，全乡共有耕地面积1.2万公顷，主要农作物是玉米。由于沙土地水分流失严重，导致常年干旱，农业作物产量较低，因此，东三家子乡经济比较落后。近年来，东三家子乡政府为解决干旱问题，筹措资金打抗旱机电井。经过努力已经完成机电井360眼，但要覆盖全乡，还需打240眼。由于地下水位深达80多米，有的地方要100多米，打井成本不断增加，目前1眼机电井打井费用和附属设备就需要2万元。
吉林省基督教两会与东三家子乡政府签署了捐赠22万元的协议，用于打11眼抗旱机电井及附属设备，并委托东三家子乡政府负责工程监管和质量监督。
由于受新冠肺炎疫情影响，吉林省基督教场所已经暂停聚会，此次抗旱井工程资金分别由：吉林市船营区北京路基督教堂捐赠10万元；长春市二道区公园路基督教堂捐赠4万元；梅河口市福民街道福民基督教堂捐赠4万元；长春市朝阳区松辉路基督教堂捐赠2万元；长春市南关区东三马路基督教堂捐赠2万元。工程时间由5月12日至30日，验收时间为6月5日。
