Tian Biqiu/田 必 球 (70) is not from a Christian background at
all, but she has come into touch with a Church in her neighbourhood in ZhiJiang
county because of services for the elderly that this Church is providing. She
was initially very hesitant to come when her friends invited her to the Church,
but after visiting for the first time, she found that the Church volunteers
were very loving and kind. She was very
touched by the fact that they cared about her as a person and the welfare of
her body. Since attending church activities, her body feels much better and she
feels more loved and cared for. This
Church is just one of many Churches in Hunan & Guanxi province who have
received training from NMS in how they can reach out to the marginalized in
their communities through different projects and initiatives through the
training project called “Practical Diakonia͟”.
