Many churches in China's northeastern Jilin Province joined in removing snow and ice from the streets as the recent freezing rain and blizzard conditions created safety hazards on roads.
The Wenhuajie Church in Ningjiang District, Songyuan, Jilin Province removed the snow by using forklifts, providing protection for residents' travel and traffic in Wenhua Street.
Hongcheng Church in Lvyuan District, Changchun organized believers to help clear the snow in nearby communities that there is no company responsible for this. Many residents who passed by expressed their gratitude to members of the church. Their assistance eased the travel of residents, especially for the elderly and children.
The road next to Songhui Road Church in Chaoyang District, Changchun, was covered with thick snow. After temperatures dropped below freezing, the ice caused problems for vehicles, which were unable to move forward. The leaders of the church organized its members to clear the snow on the road, ensuring the smooth flow of vehicles and traffic safety.
After the blizzard, the Jilin Bible School was covered with a thick layer of snow, preventing teachers and students from traveling and taking part in activities. The school organized students to clear the snow in the courtyard. The students enjoyed doing it, despite the cold weather and the tedious and arduous work.

近日，东北地区多地出现强雨雪大风冰冻天气，给道路交通带来了极大的安全隐患。吉林省多地教会积极组织公益清雪除冰活动。
吉林省松原市宁江区文化街基督教会自发组织人力物力，出人出铲车，破冰除雪。这为文化街附近居民的出行及车辆安全行驶提供了保障！
长春市绿园区宏程基督教堂组织信徒帮助附近没有物业的小区清扫积雪。不少路过的小区居民表达了对宏程基督教堂的感激之情，此举帮助小区解决了出行不便的难题，特别是老人和儿童出行。
长春市朝阳区松辉路基督教堂旁边就是马路，道路结冰后覆盖了厚厚的积雪，路过的车辆极易打滑无法前行。松辉路基督教堂及时组织同工清理道路积雪，保证了附近道路车辆的畅通，为保障交通安全和道路通畅积极贡献自己的力量。
暴雪过后，吉林省圣经学校院内覆盖了厚厚的一层雪，妨碍了全校师生的出行及活动。学校迅速组织学生对院内积雪进行清除。清雪工作单调而繁重，室外异常寒冷，就是在这样的艰苦环境中，同学们不以为苦，反以为乐，把同学们一起扫雪活动拍成照片、录制视频。
