Story out of China

I recieved this true story out of China from a friend today.

"'Little Red' met for prayer several times each week with her mother and other Christian women of their rural village. They would pray for the gospel in China, and when Little Red went to the city for college, they prayed that she would meet some American missionaries. Almost immediately, she found the couple who told me this story, and began spending time at their house, learning and also reading fairy tales such as "The Ugly Duckling" and Max Lucado's You Are Special.

"One day as Little Red sat at the front door of the home, 'June' walked by. June held a high office in the Communist Party, and prided herself in the fact that she was able to get any religious people (including Christians) to renounce their faith in order to work at the companies she controlled. That day June happened to drop her wallet, and Little Red, in an act of honesty rarely seen in China, picked it up and returned it. June, surprised by this barely-literate country girl's actions, began talking with her, and eventually befriended her, taking her around in her chauffeured vehicle. However, when June offered Little Red a high-paying position with the usual compromise, Little Red declined, and instead shared her testimony and the gospel with June.

"Over the next weeks, June kept talking to Little Red, and re-offered the job several times, always with the same response. This had never happened before, and June could barely believe that such character could be found in a poor country girl. June began to tell her business and Party contacts of this incredible young woman. Skeptical, her friends arranged a meeting where they offered Little Red a briefcase full of U.S. currency to say she didn't believe in Jesus Christ. To all but June's amazement, she turned it down, and again shared the reason for her faith.

"June has not yet trusted in Little Red's God, but has gone so far as to conference with movie producers about filming her story. They decided it could not be done because of the political problems it would bring them. Similarly, June's position and the financial and political consequences hold her from surrendering to the sovereign God of the universe. But at the current rate, Little Red's unwavering faith, backed by her mother's prayers, could convince June yet."

Please pray for "Little Red" and "June".
