In Guangdong Province, a church in Guangzhou City provided donations and materials to help an island church in Zhaoqing City, whose believers had been affected by flooding.
On July 3, Rev. Huang Zhengqi of Zion Church led the volunteers of the charity ministry department, with the donations, to go to Jiangkou Church in Fengkai County, Zhaoqing City, to help the believers affected by the disaster, reported Zion Church.
According to CCTV, Zhaoqing City upgraded the Flood Emergency Response to Grade III at 16:00 on June 19 and Fengkai County upgraded it to Grade II at 02:00 on June 20.
Jiangkou Church is located in Zhaoqing City, Fengkai County, on a small island beside the Xijiang River. On the night of June 19, a water leakage was found at the joint of a pier of Hejiang Bridge and the flood wall. The seepage of the river from the bridge underneath continuously caused flooding. The church is fortunately on higher ground and was saved from the raging flood.
However, the area just a few hundred meters away from the church was a disaster area hit by severe flooding. Most of the believers in the church were affected by the flood.
Pastor Huang communicated with the local pastors, church council, and affected believers to understand the difficulties and challenges they faced during the disaster; and sent them supplies to alleviate their immediate needs in post-disaster life.

在广东省，广州市的一个教堂向肇庆市的一个岛屿教会提供善款和物资帮助，因该教会信徒受洪灾侵扰。
据锡安堂，7月3日，锡安堂黄正起牧师带领慈惠事工部负责义工，携带善款一起前往肇庆市封开县江口堂，向受灾的信徒提供力所能及的帮助。
据央视网：肇庆市于19日16时将防汛应急响应提升至Ⅲ级，封开县于20日02时将防汛应急响应提升至Ⅱ级。
江口堂，位于肇庆市封开县西江边的一个小岛上。6月19日晚上，封开县江口街道贺江一桥底出现1处桥墩与防洪墙结合部位孔洞漏水，江水从大桥底下不断渗入，酿成洪灾。所幸教堂地势较高，没有被肆虐的洪水吞噬。
然而，距离教堂仅几百米之遥的区域，却是成为了严重的洪灾侵袭的灾区。该教会牧养的信徒，大部分都受到了洪水的冲击。
黄牧师与当地的牧者、堂委及受灾的信徒进行交流，了解他们在此次灾情中所面临的困境与挑战；为他们送上物资，以缓解他们在灾后生活中的燃眉之急。
