They donated the pastor's former residence to the church without compensation, and signed the power of attorney for the management of the former residence.
After the Jiexi Church was entrusted with the management of the former residence of Pastor Hou, it carried out the work of protecting the old residence by reorganizing and maintaining. A place was opened as the Pastor Ou's memorial hall inscribed by Rev. Chen Lifu, the president of Fujian Provincial CC&TSPM.
