God’s Plan
“In her eighties, my mother suffers from cerebellar atrophy and dementia. She cannot recognize her own family, yet she has not forgotten to praise God. Listening to her praising God with Psalm 90, I am deeply moved. Last year, mother had a fall and then a lung infection, and her life was nearing its final moments. As my nephew’s wedding date was approaching fast, I prayed to God to give mother a little more time. However, God did not answer my prayer. On the day my mother passed away, snowflakes were drifting outside the window. Suddenly, I realized that God’s plan is the highest, and we can hold onto nothing. Weeping before our Heavenly Father, I confessed and repented of my pride.”

- May God comfort Sister Liu with peace and hope in her mother’s loss. May God fill her heart with humility and obedience, enabling her to believe God’s plan is always the best.

Light in the Heart
“Being born blind, I rely on audio information from the radio. When I was 12, an elderly gentleman from Hong Kong told me about Radio Liangyou. I have become a regular listener building my faith and learning more about Jesus. Working at a massage parlour, I listen to Radio Liangyou in my spare time. Grateful that I have learnt to communicate with clients by listening to the radio programs, soothing their physical pain and releasing their mental burden. I share the Gospel with clients I have good relationships with and also convert Chinese texts into Braille to help more blind friends.”
(Sister Rao)
- May God guide Sister Rao to experience His presence more deeply in her work and daily life. May God grant her wisdom and compassion to care for and comfort her clients and to learn to serve and bless more blind people by transcribing Braille.
Antibiotics Frogs
Bullfrogs have, in recent years, become a popular dish in dining. Between 2015 and 2024, bullfrog production has grown by 317.6%. Recently, bullfrog samples collected from certain e-commerce platforms were found to contain excessive levels of antibiotics and some samples even tested positive for banned substances. A number of market regulation bureaus sealed the products, collected samples for testing, and also took legal action based on investigation findings. Some individual breeders have practiced high-density farming to boost the growth of bullfrogs by overfeeding. High temperature has also led to a decline in the bullfrogs’ immunity. Experts point out that the use of medication based on experience without scientific guidance, and bypassing withdrawal periods before selling the frogs directly to the market can easily lead to excessive levels of antibiotics in aquatic products.
