Guangxi Churches Visit Leprosy Rehab Village on Holy Saturday

2022年4月16日礼拜六，受难周的预备日，也是复活节的前夕，广西壮自治区基督教北海堂与合浦堂牧师、长老等到西门堂慰问麻风病康复者。

这一天，北海市基督教协会会长、北海堂张业忠牧师，北海市基督教三自爱国运动委员会主席、合浦堂陈考思长老和黄正欣牧师等带领北海、合浦两教会的有关教牧同工再次来到了他们一直常年关注、关怀、给予帮助的北海市合浦蛟龙塘休养院（民间称康复村或麻风病康复村，在主内也称基督教西门堂），送去复活节的亲切问候和美好祝愿。

张牧师一行不仅代表两个教会肢体的爱心，给麻风病康复的弟兄姊妹们送去了蛋卷、面条、牛奶、点心等慰问品，还与这些老年康复养员们在一起亲切交流、沟通，在预备日里预备自己的心，为能够安享在基督里的美好生活.

自今年春节前夕到现在，北海市基督教两会、北海堂与合浦堂的牧长、传道人和同工已多次到这里来送慰问品、贴春联、打扫卫生、了解疾苦、共同祷告、祝福，探访、慰问。这也成为了北海基督教两会和两个教堂的一项“常态化”的工作之一。

Pastors and elders of two churches in China’s southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region cared for local leprosy survivors before Easter Sunday.

Together with Elder Chen Kaosi of Hepu Church, Rev. Zhang Zhongye, president of Beihai Christian Council (CC) and senior pastor of Beihai Church, paid a visit again to a leprosy rehabilitation village or Simon Church in Jiaolongtang, Hepu, on April 16, bringing egg rolls, noodles, milk, and other snacks.

On Holy Saturday, pastoral co-workers communicated with these elderly believers, encouraging them to prepare to enjoy the good life in Christ.

Since the eve of the Spring Festival this year, church staff and pastors have come there many times to paste Spring Festival couplets, clean up, pray and present food to them, which are the regular activities for these two churches.
