Churches in Liaoning, Heilongjiang, and Fujian provinces carried out visitation and student assistance activities before the 2024 Spring Festival.
On January 15, Elder Shi Xiuchen, chairman of TSPM of Taian County in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, and leader of the Shengli Church, embarked on visits with food to more than 30 believers, including elderly believers over 80 years old, the sick, and the needy.
Elder Shi also asked about the life, family, physical, and spiritual health of these senior Christians, exhorting them to stay focused on God and worship faithfully even in the later years, as well as timely contact with the church if needed.
On the same day, Rev. Qin Shuping, leader of the church in Jinsha New District, Qitaihe City, Heilongjiang, organized a visit to some church staff and believers. Before the Spring Festival, they visited 82 families, including elderly church staff and preachers, as well as staff who made special contributions during the construction of the church.
According to Chendai Church, the church assisted children in the hilly area on January 17 in collaboration with the Southeast Public Welfare Association of Quanzhou City.
Pastors, elders, and volunteers headed to the Gekeng Primary School and Shangyong Primary School in Dehua County, Quanzhou City, to deliver winter clothing, school bags, and food to the students, encouraging them to establish a belief in self-improvement.
It is learned that the weather in the area of the Gekeng and Shangyong primary schools is wet and cold in winter, with temperatures dropping below zero. The majority of the village's residents are currently left-behind children whose families are in difficulties or whose parents are divorced. In recent years, the church has cooperated with the association to visit schools in mountainous areas such as Dehua and Yongchun counties on numerous occasions, providing paired assistance to students in needy families.
