The Gospel Church in Shangsi County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, held an outdoor gathering on May Fourth Youth Day.
Huang Xiang, head of the church and a member of the Standing Committee of the Guangxi CC&TSPM, said that the goal of this event was to "influence lives with life" that young Christians led non-Christian friends to participate in outdoor activities to integrate into nature and join the fellowship, sharing God’s words and witness with them. After the activity, they would guide them to attend services to learn the Bible and then to be baptized.
With hymns including "The Sun Above the Clouds" and "We Walk Together on This Road", some church members and their friends started an interactive party.
Rev. Zeng Bihui shared a sermon titled "Ministry and Teaching", welcoming the newcomers with a grateful heart.
After the gospel Q&A, praise and worship, prayer, and testimony parts, He Haiyan led participants to play games, such as "passing flour", tug-of-war competition, "sweet potato kiln", and guessing the Bible verses. In the end, they made dumplings and barbecues.
After the event, they went to visit two young believers who were sick with the remaining 1000 yuan of the activity funds.

广西壮族自治区上思县福音堂教会在2021年五四青年节这一天，举行了一次户外聚会活动。
据广西壮族自治区基督教两会常委、上思县福音堂负责人黄享弟兄说：这次活动的目标是，“以生命影响生命”。就是让青年信徒带领还没有信主的青年朋友来参加这次的青年节户外活动，融入自然，融入团契，分享信仰和见证，用爱心接纳，战胜敌对之灵；活动以后再跟进，引领他们到教会敬拜，认识真理，受洗礼归主。同时，也使得他们今后在职场上、在生活中作光作盐，荣耀上帝。
聚会活动在《云上太阳》《这条路上我们一起走》等赞美诗歌声中，上思堂的弟兄姊妹和前来共同欢聚青年节的朋友们，开始了互动联欢。
曾碧慧牧师在“hello大家好！”的问候中以《事奉与教导》为题和与会者互相问候，并且分享心得体会。她代表教会和同工们热烈欢迎第一次来参加团契活动的朋友们，并愿上帝赐福与大家, 感谢神带领年轻人加入教会.
在福音问答，赞美，祷告，见证后，何海燕姊妹带领大家一起，进入“传面粉”、拔河比赛、“红薯窑”，和猜圣经金句等等游戏环节。最后大家一起包饺子、烧烤，享受神赐予的户外爱筵。
活动结束后，大家把剩余的1000多元拿出来去探访、慰问了两位有病的青年弟兄姊妹.
