In early September, the heavily flood-stricken areas surrounding Zhuozhou in Hebei province were still in need of assistance, as a visiting pastor noticed.
Due to heavy precipitation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area this summer, Zhuozhou City in Hebei was severely impacted.
While supporting the city during the rescue operation, believers in Zhuozhou churches were also cognizant of the flood circumstances within the overlooked areas. The pastor mentioned earlier stated that the situation in Laishui County, upstream of Zhuozhou, was worse than in the city itself. Quite a number of the villages in Laishui have been completely submerged, with crops destroyed, homes swept away, and nothing remaining.
The AAAAA tourist attraction, Yesanpo National Park in Laishui County, was also drowned in the deluge, suffering devastating destruction. This scenic site was endorsed as a research and education base by the China University of Geosciences, serving as the national scenic area with the title of world geopark.
Currently, despite joint efforts, the power of the Zhuozhou believers is insufficient to confront the needs of the mass flood victims in Laishui County. Even though the flood destroyed his home, Elder Run in the county is still actively checking on the victims and looking for assistance.
Though not on the trending search list, areas such as Laishui County are still in need of support. Calls are ringing for more helping hands for these seriously flooded areas during the recovery of the homes of the afflicted.

九月初一位牧者途径涿州，了解到涿州周边受水灾严重的地区仍然需要帮助。
今年夏天京津冀暴雨，河北涿州受灾尤为严重。
涿州教会的信徒参与此次救灾，在帮助涿州的同时，也注意到较少被关注地区的灾情。这位牧者在交流中了解到，涿州上游的涞水县较涿州受灾情况更为严重。该县多个村庄被彻底淹没，很多村民不仅庄稼颗粒无收，房子也被大水冲走，房子里的一切都不复存留。
位于涞水县的5A级野三坡风景名胜区也遭受了毁灭性损毁，整个野三坡都被淹没在洪流之中。该景区是国家级风景名胜区、有着世界地质公园的称号，被中国地质大学确定为科研教学基地。
目前，涿州的信徒正在援助帮助涞水县受灾群众，但面对大群体的需要，他们的力量过于单薄。涞水县闫长老，自己家的房子被洪水冲垮了，每天还在探访身边的人，也努力寻找可以帮助他们的人。
涞水这些不在热搜之上的地区依然需要帮助，呼吁有更多人进入这些地区，帮助受灾群众重建家园。
暴雨过后，河北涿州涞水县仍需帮助
