After my grandmother experienced God's healing grace and saved her life, she didn't get God's grace. The grace of the Lord has become the driving force of her life, and her service is also driven by the grace of the Lord.
Love to preach the gospel
My grandmother is a evangelist. She always takes the opportunity to preach the gospel, whether the gospel comes or goes. She led her next-door neighbor to believe in Jesus in Xia Long Village, and almost all her neighbors believed in Jesus on the back shore of Xia Long Village. She led almost all her relatives to believe in Jesus. My grandmother kept preaching the gospel, sowing seeds and persuading people to believe in Jesus. At the right time, the seeds of the gospel have sprouted.
Love reading classics
My grandmother hasn't studied for a year, but she knows almost all the words in the Bible. She shared before her death: "When the preacher was reading the Bible on the platform, she read the preacher's Bible, and there were more here than there, so she opened it until she found it, and then read it with the preacher."
Sometimes she doesn't know some words and will ask someone she knows until she understands and remembers them. In order to remember how to pronounce, I sometimes write a homophonic word I know next to difficult words.
When she was old, she read the Bible from an enlarged perspective. In her 90 s, she couldn't see clearly because of cataracts, but she had eye surgery to read the Bible.
She stressed that we should read more bibles. The word of God is the bread of life, which can supply and renew our spiritual life.
Love to pray
My grandmother is also a warrior in prayer. She likes praying very much. It is said that James, Jesus' own brother, is a man who loves to pray. His knees are as thick as camel's skin. My grandmother knelt down and prayed for a long time, and so did her knees.
Praying for others can be said to be the most important service in her life. She traveled all over Liuxi Pastoral Area, even crossed Liuxi Pastoral Area, and went to Yongjia Wuniu to pray and serve.
In Wenzhou, there is a Ministry to accompany workers, that is, believers are sick and weak, and prayer workers are arranged to live in those families and pray for them. My grandmother often goes out to accompany the workers and pray for others.
When the children were young, she let them sleep and then went out to pray for the believers. After her uncle got married, the burden on the family was lightened, and she had more time to go out and pray for others. Three sons and one daughter are all married, and almost all of them go out to accompany the baby, visit and pray for others. Until he was in his 80 s, he also participated in the service of accompanying workers and praying for blessings.
At home, she insists on praying every morning and gets up at around four o'clock to pray. One prayer prays for others through another. The reason why she can remember many people's names and family members is that she has been praying for their nominations.
Because of her intercession, many signs and wonders happened, the sick were cured, the demon-possessed people were released, and they witnessed the gospel of God's grace together. But my grandmother doesn't want to share the testimony of these miracles. She is afraid that she will take the glory for herself. She reminded me: "If you go out to work and win, don't go out and say it. Let the lucky people go out and say it themselves."
Every time we meet, she always reminds me to serve humbly. Only with humility can your service be blessed by God. This is the secret that she often wins at work. She hides herself, and only God is glorious!
My grandmother is too old to go out and pray for others, but every day, brothers and sisters come to her house and ask her to pray for them.
Love and dedication
My grandmother is a dedicated person. She always cares about the needs of theologians' families. She donated 1 1 copies of the money given to her by her descendants. Seeing some poor families, she often helps the poor.

My grandmother devoted her life to preaching, reading, praying and dedication. Let's take grandma as an example, devote our lives and give priority to it wholeheartedly.
