China A Special Sister And Brother

Before the 2008 Olympics, weather officials in

China

practiced shooting weapons at clouds to control the rain. Officials shut down factories to control pollution. They removed people from their homes to make more space for Olympics activities.

China’s government likes to control things. They even try to control the public worship of God by making rules for Christians and churches about what they can and cannot do.

Donna and Her Brother

China’s government wants families to have only one child. They hope to control the population so that it quits growing. China has more than 1 billion people.

Donna lives in China. She has something none of her friends have. She has a brother!

When Donna was 2 years old, she tried to climb a ladder that led to the roof of her house. She fell and hurt her head. Her brain was damaged in the fall.

The government allowed Donna’s parents to have another child because no one thought Donna would ever be able to do the things other children do. The family happily welcomed a new baby boy into their lives.

Then something unusual happened. Donna’s brain healed from the injury! She grew strong, healthy, and very smart.

Donna and her brother had a special relationship. They knew they were blessed to have each other as brother and sister.

Donna still loves her brother. But now he is upset and confused. Donna learned about Jesus from one of her school teachers. She was happy to find forgiveness for her sins and to follow Jesus as her Lord. Her brother does not understand her new faith. Most people in China are not Christians.

Donna is praying that her brother will want to follow Jesus, too. Thank God for healing Donna and pray her life and good example will bring her brother, her parents, and others to Him.

Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative Word of God who is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers of Christ.

We believe in the message of the persecuted churches, a message which has been brought to the West by the founders of the mission, Pastor Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand.

We have witnessed that the blood of the martyrs is the seed which makes the churches grow; and therefore, the mention of martyrs must be brought into the teachings and practices of the church. We believe that Christians who serve and love Christ, and are persecuted for this, should be helped. We believe the Bible teaches that we should love even our enemies. How much more so should we love our brethren who are persecuted for their faith in all parts of the world? Hebrews 13:3 states, "Remember them that are in bonds as bound with them, and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."
