With the Spring Festival approaching, three churches in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region visited the believers in nursing homes, rural areas, and construction sites.
This year, Elder Chen Kaosi, chairman of the Beihai Three-Self Patriotic Christian Movement Committee, visited brothers and sisters over 80 years old, some over 90 years old. These believers live in the county town and some in the villages, including (Dongshan, Dangjiang, and Xiayang) village. The staff of the Hepu Church of Beihai City also showed concerns to the believers working on construction sites. The church's visitation and charity ministries carried on the Spring Festival eve for more than ten years.
Guangxi Beihai Christian Church, led by Pastor Zhang Yezhong, President of the Beihai Christian Council and director of the church, started the visit early on Saturday, January 30. They went to pray for a staff worker's grandmother to let her rest in peace, showing sympathy to more than a dozen church members at their homes. The team also sent holiday greetings to the elderly believers and teachers living in nursing home, Guiyang Market in Yintan Town, and Zhengtian Garden.
The church's staff workers in Changle Town, Hepu County, visited several elderly members in their 80s and 90s and impoverished believers. In particular, they sent gifts to a poor elderly male believer living alone with his four grandsons whose parents have passed away. The villagers watched them with envy as they received the food happily.

在新春佳节即将来临之际，广西壮族自治区北海市的北海基督堂、合浦教会、常乐礼拜堂在做好个人防疫安全的前提下，按传统到养老院、农村、工地进行了探访和慰问。
北海市合浦县教会每逢春节前夕的探访慈善事工已经持续了十多年。今年，在北海市基督教三自爱国运动委员会主席陈考思长老的带领下，他们走访慰问了80岁以上的弟兄姊妹，有的已经超过90岁。这些肢体有在县城的，还有在乡村的(东山村、党江村、下洋村等)；与此同时，合浦教会还深入工地慰问在一线工作的肢体。
广西北海基督堂由北海市基督教协会会长、本堂张业忠主任牧师带领探访组，从1月30日星期六一早，就开始了探访。张牧师一行先赶去为一同工外婆做安息祷告后，不辞辛苦到了十几位弟兄姊妹家慰问。探访组还深入到银滩养老院、银滩镇贵阳市场和正天花园探访了老弟兄姊妹和教师等，送上教会的节日问候。
位于合浦县常乐镇的广西常乐礼拜堂在长老的带领下，慰问探访了几位八、九十岁的老年弟兄姊妹和特困肢体。特别是有一位老弟兄，因为儿子、儿媳都过世，自己一个人带着四个孙子生活，很是艰难，当探访组来到他们家送来慰问品时，祖孙都很高兴。乡亲们也用羡慕的眼光看着他们。
