Suffering from illness for many years, a female believer who had served in Fujian churches rested in the arms of the Lord.
Born into a Christian family in Zhangpu Couty, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, in 1952, Cai Meili died on January 27. She contributed to the church by serving the Lord and others.
Before retiring from the Pinghe County Post Office, she was elected as the deputy director of the Council of Xiaoxi Church in the county for two consecutive terms. Despite having graduated from junior high school, she was admitted to Nanjing Union Theological Seminary after diligently studying theology on her own. After finishing a correspondence course, she began to preach in the prayer meeting at Xiaoxi Church. She was willing to share the gospel with those around her and led her relatives, friends, and colleagues to the Lord.
After retiring in 2005, Cai settled in Xiamen and served in the church for more than ten years. She was the church's deacon, and she also took part in the Xiamen Ren'ai Love Service Center's activities to help the underprivileged. Some of the things they did were help elderly people who were alone or widowed with their daily lives, help poor students and people who had bad luck, and give material and daily life help to people who were sick or physically disabled.
Cai volunteered to live in the Xiamen Canaan Land Elderly Care Center, which was founded by a church. Spreading the gospel to the elderly in the center, Cai assisted the staff workers to carry out activities during festivals such as Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Women's Day, and the Double Ninth Festival.
On January 24th, Rev. Chen Miaozhen of Zengcuoan Church, and Rev. Hao Zhiqiang, editor-in-chief of Tianfeng, the flagship magazine of CCC&TSPM, visited Cai in the center, holding a farewell party for her, who had witnessed for God through her experiences of giving sermons, testimonies, and praise.

被病魔缠身多年的弟媳蔡美丽于今天（1月27日）早上主里安息，享福天家了。
弟媳蔡美丽于1952年10月22日出生在福建漳浦县一个基督教家庭。他的一生是爱神，爱人的一生，为主的福音工作不遗余力的一生，是为教会做出极大贡献的一生。
她在平和邮电局退休前，曾被平和基督教小溪礼拜堂连续二届被推选为堂会副主任。她虽然只有初中学历，却刻苦自学神学，考上南京金陵神学院，函授毕业后，开始担负小溪堂祈祷会证道工作。她每天都很喜乐地生活，并乐于向周围的人传福音，并亲自带领其亲朋好友及同事信主。
2005年退休后，蔡美丽姐妹到厦门定居，十多年来都在我外公蔡振勲创建的曾厝垵礼拜堂事奉。在担任该礼拜堂堂会执事之余，她还积极参加厦门基督教仁爱爱心服务中心团契的活动，义务为独居、孤寡老人提供日常生活帮助；资助家庭困难的学生；为遭遇变故的对象提供所需的资助；为患病或身体残疾的对象提供物质和生活的帮助。
这些年来，蔡美丽姐妹身体欠佳，自己主动要求到教会弟兄创办的厦门迦南地安养中心疗养，其间向院安养的老人广传福音，还在圣诞节、元旦、春节、妇女节、老人节等节日里协助安养中心同工开展参加各种活动。
1月24日，厦门曾厝垵礼拜堂陈妙真牧师、《天风》主编蒿志强牧师和弟兄姐妹近50人到安养中心看望蔡美丽姐妹，并共同举行了一场《蔡美丽人生告别会》，她以讲道、讲见证、赞美的经历，为神做了见证。
