COVID-19 Update

The 40 million people of Shanxi have mercifully been spared the worst of the current COVID-19 outbreak, and nearly all of our people have been able to remain in Shanxi during this time. While we recognize that changes to international travel restrictions are likely to affect in unpredictable ways those wishing to participate in our work, especially as the borders to China are still closed to foreigners, we are currently hopeful that Evergreen’s various projects will be operating “normally” at some point in the near future, and are planning accordingly and adapting as needed. If you are currently in China and are interested in joining in Evergreen’s work in the coming months please contact us early to discuss options. For anyone outside of the country, all opportunities to join our work are temporarily on hold until new visas are being issued again to visitors, but please contact us if you have any questions.

These professional service areas then help determine our need for additional team members, as well as help us focus on projects that will best serve each community into the future. We currently serve in three locations in Shanxi Province, through eight identified areas of professional service:
