Shanxi Christians Help Disable Believer

10月26日下午，由许弟兄组织，晋城城区基督教会十余位弟兄姊妹来到陵川县西河底镇侯家庄村，帮助因病致残致贫的孤居弟兄侯长慧。

侯弟兄多年在外打工，自己的房屋早已坍塌，现住在一座久已被废弃的土屋里。该小屋除了一土炕别无所有，到处是土堆。

经过一番简单的工作安排后，大家从车上取下支援的物资开始劳动，搬运煤球、生炉子、接电线、在天花板上钉广告布、墙上贴报纸，最后打扫土炕，铺好床铺。

经过大家一下午的努力，原本阴暗潮湿的黑屋渐渐有了改观，最后大家把爱心奉献的衣物、棉被、食物、锅具等等都有条不紊地摆放好，爱心行动赢得了邻里的称赞。

Members of a Shanxi church helped a poor and disabled believer clean up and decorate his house, giving him clothes and food.

On October 26, more than a dozen members of Cheng District Church in Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, came to assist a disabled male believer with the surname of Hou living alone in a village of Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, according to the church.

Removing the supplies from the car, they started to carry honeycomb briquettes, raw coal stoves, and then they connected electric wires, nailed advertising cloth to the ceiling, and put newspapers on the wall. Finally, they cleaned and laid his kang bed (a heatable brick bed that is popular in northern China).

Hou now lives in a long-abandoned earthen house, as he worked outside for many years and his own house had already collapsed. The hut has nothing but a kang bed, with mounds everywhere.

Through their efforts in the afternoon, the dark and damp house changed. In the end, they put the donated clothes, quilts, food, and pots in order, gaining praise from the neighbors.
