A Blessing in Disguise
“The side effects of chemotherapy were very serious, especially during the latter stage. I felt restless and weak. Complaining to God, I asked Him why He had left me. God motivated me to listen to hymns that calmed me down and allowed me to enjoy the peace of mind. My husband told me to read the Bible. I was so surprised because I had been preaching the gospel to him for more than 20 years but in vain. Thank God he asked me to read the Bible. The Bible reading opened his heart. He became a believer in Jesus and was baptized more than a year ago. The suffering was all worth it. God, You are amazing. Thank You for forgiving my disobedience.”
(Sister Chen)
- Thank God for blessing Sister Chen with His faithfulness and miracle in the midst of the suffering that was worth it. May God lead this couple and their life to glorify You.
AI Phone Calls
There was a decrease in the number of harassing phone calls upon the CCTV report about the agencies using AI systems making the calls. Recently people stated that AI harassment calls increased again. AI caller claimed that the listener had inquired about the price of dental implants and introduced some promotion plans. The call would be directed to a human staff if the listener was interested in the plans. According to the industry, you can start automating phone calls with AI after purchasing the platform software and hardware. Call center lines, in fact, are not allowed to be used for cold call marketing. Since there is lack of regulation and the profits obtained by committing the crime are higher than the fines imposed, AI calls cannot be stopped.
(“Liberation Daily”, May 12, 2025)
- Hope that the relevant departments will strengthen the management of telecommunication enterprises and call centers to eliminate the illegal use of line resources. We pray that telecoms companies will also develop AI technology to help users block nuisance calls in a more effective manner.
The Prodigal Son Returns
“I am a university student growing up in a Christian family. Feeling disconnected from God even going to church regularly, I was living a secular life. Being rebellious and having casual sex, I got a serious illness. Lying in the hospital bed, I reflected on my life and realized that I would be even more devastated if God had not disciplined me. At that time, my aunt recommended Radio Liangyou to me. I listened to the messages with great eagerness every day. It was said that we were new creatures and God would forgive us if we truly repented. I confessed and repented, and then felt peaceful and relaxed. Heavenly Father loves me so much that He healed me of my illness and turned my life around.”
(Brother Zhang)
- God healed Brother Zhang through his suffering. He was willing to turn from his sins and God forgave him. God will not despise a broken and contrite heart. May God continue to guide brother Zhang to start a new life.
Illegal Pirated Recording
The Dongyang City Public Security Bureau in Zhejiang Province cracked a criminal case of pirated recording and illegal distribution of Spring Festival blockbusters. Individuals were detained on suspicion of illegally distributing pirated versions of a number of popular films, including “Ne Zha 2” and “Detective Chinatown 1900”. Seven suspects have been arrested. More than 130 websites and 200,000 infringing copies of films worth more than RMB 25 million are involved. The Bureau will subsequently work with the relevant departments to step up online monitoring by focusing on the characteristics of copyright infringement crimes, and increase awareness of and the ability to combat piracy.
