Hubei Church Visits Above 100 Elders Before Chinese New Year

中国中部的湖北省的一个教会用一个礼拜的时间年前探访了一百余位老年信徒。

武汉市江夏区的流芳教会的刘金彩牧师和同工们从1月8日到15日，看望了老年人一百多位、残障人七人、感染后的重症病人六人；另外还去教会老一辈的教会同工四人家中慰问；走访了家庭不和睦的二人，婚姻不合，出现问题的二人…..

疫情三年来，信徒们的信仰受到疾病、疫情、经济、工作、家庭等的干扰，来教堂聚会受到影响。他们除了坚持网络的牧养之外，通过小组的活动和探访，不断地加强和信徒之间的联络。

 去年，他们探访了八十多位肢体。

A church in the Hubei Province in central China went to see more than 100 of its older members in the week before the Chinese New Year.

From January 8 to 15, Rev. Liu Jincai and other staff from Liufang Church in Jiangxia District of Wuhan City visited church members, including more than 100 elderly believers, seven disabled people, and six believers seriously ill with COVID-19. After that, they went to visit four elderly church fellows, two families that had relationship problems, and two couples with marital discord.

During the past three years, onsite church gatherings have been disturbed by the pandemic, church members’ illnesses, work, family, and financial problems.Besides online pastoral care, Liufang Church's staff kept contact with Christians through group activities and visits.

Overall, they visited 80 more members last year.
