Thanksgiving for The Lifeboat Fund From God (4)
December 2023
As we draw near Christmas, we want to take a break from our series of posts on “Bringing up Sara” to give thanks to God. This is a series of thanksgiving reports from our community in China.
Last November, the Lord impressed upon Sara, after our retreat in Pai, to start a Lifeboat Fund to help our brothers and sisters in China, which was under a hard lockdown. You can read it in the post: https://www.communityofbrokenspirit.org/blog/2023-don-t-be-a-dumb-elephant

The sudden outbreak of the pandemic disrupted our normal lives. My husband and I were both out of work due to the pandemic. Our son was in the second year of junior high school. Just at that time, we received assistance from the Lifeboat fund amounting to 9,000 RMB. This was used for heating during the winter and expenses for the Chinese New Year.
We also received pandemic prevention and emergency medical kits, a total of three, one for ourselves, one for my in-laws, and one for my mother's family. At that time, the emergency medical kit was truly helpful because medicines were scarce and difficult to obtain.
Words cannot express our gratitude to God. Thanks to our Heavenly Father's love, the pandemic eventually passed, and our work and lives returned to normal. I am an employee in a small company, with a monthly salary of around 4,000 RMB. With God's love, our lives are filled with hope.
突如其来的一场疫情，打乱了我们正常生活，我们夫妇俩因受疫情影响一直在家待业，儿子就读初中二年级，就在这时，收到了救生艇基金会的救助基金9000元，用于冬季生活取暖以及春节开销，同时还有疫情防疫急救药包，一共申请领了三份，我自己一份，我公公婆婆家一份，我妈妈家一份，当时急救药包真的是给我们带来了很大的帮助，因为当时的药非常稀缺，很难买到，千言万语也表达不了对上帝的感恩，感谢阿爸天父对我们一家人的爱，疫情终于过去，我们的工作和生活也基本恢复正常，我是小型企业职工，每月工资大概4000元左右，因为有了上帝的爱，我们的生活处处

My father suffered from a large pituitary tumour that compressed his optic nerve, affecting his vision and hearing. For two years, he couldn't work. We are extremely grateful for the financial assistance provided by the Lifeboat Fund. It was during the most difficult times that God allowed me to see hope, lightening the burden on our entire family. Thank you, Lord!
During the pandemic, they also provided medicine that helped our family get through tough times and enabled my grandparents to persevere. It was a tremendous help to our family! Now, I have obtained a mobile phone repair booth and am doing phone repairs on my own. Thank you, Lord! Thank you for your love!
父亲因为患巨大性垂体瘤压迫视力神经影响视力，听力。2年之人不能工作，对救生艇基金的这为笔资助非常感谢，在最困难的时候是上帝让我看到了希望,给我们全家减轻负担.感谢主!在疫情在期间又有送来的药让我们一家度过了难关，让我的爷爷奶奶挺过去了，给了我们家很大的帮助！现在拿了摊位自己做手机维修。感谢主！谢谢你们的爱！

We are very grateful for the financial assistance provided by this fund. This is also a testament of God's deep affection for us! It has given us hope in life. God won't let us go hungry, suffer from cold, or lack basic necessities. So, throughout the winter, with God's grace, I was able to get through the most difficult times. Thank you, God. Thank you to all the sisters. Thanks to everyone who helped us!
对这次基金的这笔资助，我们很感激，这也是上帝对我们眷恋！使我们对生活有了希望，上帝不会让我没吃没喝，受冻挨饿，所以，整个冬天，靠着上帝的恩典也让我度过最难的时，谢谢上帝，谢谢姐姐们。感谢所有帮助我们的人！

I am a late-stage lung adenocarcinoma patient who has been blessed by God's healing grace! I am grateful for the grace, blessings, and love from Sister Asha, who played a role in connecting me with the support. I'm also thankful to the Lifeboat Fund for providing two months' worth of living expenses during the Chinese New Year. It was truly a lifeline for me because one month's targeted therapy medication costs 11,166.96 RMB. This expense has already caused significant financial pressure, and the assistance during the Chinese New Year has alleviated the burden on my daily life. I'm grateful for God's grace and the love and support from fellow believers.
我是肺腺癌晚期患者，得蒙上帝的救治恩宠！感恩上帝的天使Asha姊妹牵线带来神的恩典祝福爱心奉献，感恩救生艇为我在春节的时候捐助两个月的生活费，真是雪中送炭！因为一个月的靶向药11166.96元人民币。这一笔开销已经是压力山大了，你们的雪中送炭减轻了我的生活上的压力，感恩神的恩典，感恩神的儿女们爱心奉献
