Zhao, male, 1906, from Hanchuan, Hubei. My father was a county official in the Qing Dynasty. After the Republic of China, he was frustrated and addicted to a gentleman, unable to extricate himself, and his family was penniless. Zhao has lived a life of dependence since he was a child, suffering from poverty and hardship. At the age of six, his mother died of illness, and he asked her to be a good person before she died. He agreed to his mother's request and kept it for life. Shortly after her mother died, her father sent Ying Jun to a missionary school-Christian College in Yancheng, Jiangsu. Although he was born in poverty, he was among the best in his studies.
His life is rough, but how wonderful God's grace is. He used to be an ambitious man, and then he met God and became his student. His service is very touching.
1935, Zhao decided to devote himself to being a full-time preacher. Although there were more than a dozen places waiting for him at that time, after a long prayer, he and his wife decided to be missionaries in a church in Yangzhou that could not afford the living expenses. When he first came to this church, there were only a dozen old ladies and gentlemen, and he had no income for two and a half months. At this time, his father and his wife's in-laws still need them to send money to help them make up.
Once, Zhao's father lost his temper with him, wanted to sever the relationship between father and son, and wanted to kill him with a knife, because he regarded the preacher as a beggar, and he didn't want such a beggar son. So, my father shouted "I must kill you today" and raised a kitchen knife to cut him, but others caught him. In those days, Zhao didn't dare to sleep at night. She leaned the table against the door and hung a rope outside the window to escape. But instead of avoiding his father and moving to someone else's house, he faced the difficulties through prayer.
? He prayed bitterly before God and said, "I am a beggar missionary. I wasted my life. I have no ambition. I can't even support my father. Have I wasted my life? " What is nobler and better than doing what you want? "In this way, he is still determined to take the road of missionary. For this reason, his father was very upset. He only went to see him three times in ten years.
Once, a Presbyterian church in Haizhou, Jiangsu invited Zhao to a party, but he didn't have the travel expenses. After fasting and praying for a few days, he was moved.
