Death is Not an Option
By Ken Hulme
The 700 Club
CBN.com –
“At that time, I even thought that it might
be better to die so that I wouldn’t trouble my family anymore.”
I suppose if you think about it, we would do just about anything
for our moms. But for Li Yun Tong, who lives in a poor village
in Western China there was simply nothing she could do to ease
her mother’s suffering.
“Sometimes when I would lie in bed,” remembers Li
Yun Tong. “I would hear my mom getting up to be sick, I
couldn’t help but cry.”
And Li Yun Tong’s father, a hard working farmer, simply
doesn’t have the resources to pay for his wife’s surgery.
He says, “She had been ill for six years. To tell you the
truth, we didn’t have any money for her medical treatment.”
So Li Yun Tong simply prayed that God would show mercy on her
mother.
“I would pray that God would come to our aid,” explains
Li Yun Tong. “I prayed that God would see my family’s
situation. And that He would help my mom.”
And God answered Li Yun Tong’s prayer with a miracle that
came through friends like you! Because of your gifts, CBN was
able to provide all the funds the family needed to pay for surgery
and hospital bills.
When Li Yun Tong learned of the generosity of total strangers
she was deeply moved.
“At the moment I felt as if I was dreaming,” recounts
Li Yun Tong. “So I asked CBN if it is true. And she said
yes.”
Doctors removed a large benign tumor from Li Yun Tong’s
mother. Now her mom is back on her feet and taking care of her
family.
By the way, when CBN learned that Li Yun Tong had put off school
because of her mother’s illness and family’s financial
crisis, they stepped in again, this time to pay for school fees
for Li Yun Tong to finish high school. All of which make one family
very thankful.
Li Yun Tong’s mother says, “I have been given a new
life. I’m so grateful”
Her husband adds, “I’m grateful to CBN, to those
who donated money to us and helped my family out of the difficult
situation.
“To all those American friends who helped me, my mom, and
my family, I just want to say with my whole heart, thank you very
much!” exults Li Yun Tong.
