Thanksgiving for The Lifeboat Fund From God (2)
December 2023
As we draw near Christmas, we want to take a break from our series of posts on “Bringing up Sara” to give thanks to God. This is a series of thanksgiving reports from our community in China.
Last November, the Lord impressed upon Sara, after our retreat in Pai, to start a Lifeboat Fund to help our brothers and sisters in China, which was under a hard lockdown. You can read it in the post: https://www.communityofbrokenspirit.org/blog/2023-don-t-be-a-dumb-elephant

I received a total of 9000 yen from the Lifeboat Fund, which my family and I used for living expenses and some household expenses for the Chinese New Year. Currently, my husband and I are running our own restaurant together after leaving our previous jobs. With God’s guidance, the business is doing much better than last year. Our earnings have been sufficient for our family and our life now is full of hope. Our marriage has also significantly improved. We now live in peace and joy, with God at the forefront of our marriage. I believe that with Christ in control, our future will be one of peace and stability, be it in our relationship, our childrens’ education or our restaurant. My heart is full of hope! I am grateful to the Lord for the love shown to my family. All glory and praise to the Lord our God! Hallelujah!
收到基金总额：9000，使用方向：家庭生活费和春节的一些家庭生活开支。
目前工作情况：辞去了去年的工作，和老公一起经营餐厅生意，蒙阿爸父的看顾，生意比去年好多了，所赚到的钱已经够家庭开支，生活充满希望，能够平安喜乐，用阿爸父给的智慧经营婚姻生活，婚姻关系已大大的改善，一切都在基督里，平静安稳，相信未来能更好，不管是夫妻关系，子女教育，还是工作事业方面，心里充满希望！
感谢阿爸父的爱！荣耀归我们在天上的父！感谢赞美他！哈利路亚！

I received a total of 15,000 yuan in funding from the Lifeboat fund. 2000 yuan went to heating expenses, 2,400 yuan went to expenses for Chinese New Year, and 6,000 yuan went to three months of living expenses. Currently, there is 4,600 yuan left in the account. This fund has been a blessing to me, allowing me to support myself independently. It has also helped to bring my family out of poverty. Previously, we often would have arguments over money, especially around Chinese New year. But this year, we had a harmonious and joyful celebration and I finally feel financially secure. The Lifeboat Fund has given me an opportunity to plan my income and learn more about financial management. This is something that I have wanted to do for years but haven't managed to do so. Now, my current average monthly income is around 3,000 yuan although my husband’s job is still unstable.
I give thanks to the Lord for teaching us how to manage our finances. Our lives are now on track!
收到的基金总额15000。 使用方向:2000元暖气费，过年买吃的费用1100，过年全家衣服1300元，三个月生活费6000元。目前账户还有4600元。救生艇计划对我个人而言是上帝祝福的通道，我自己开始有收入。同时医治了我们家的贫穷，以前几乎每到过年我们家都会因为钱吵架，今年过了一个和睦喜乐的，而且我每个月除了定期预存的生活费，还可以拿出一点还账，感觉一直是绰绰有余。救生艇计划也让我开始对自己收入进行做规划，学着理财，这是多年来一直想做却一直没有做到的。现在的工作状况及生活状况：王宇红工作月均3000左右。吉星不稳定。
感谢主的教导我们学着理财，目前生活步入正轨。

My father is unable to continue working due to an injury from an accident. My mother is helping to take care of my father, and is also taking care of my two year old son while tending to the farm. We received a total of 13,100 yen from the Lifeboat Fund, which was primarily used for family and living expenses over the past three months and over Chinese New Year. My mother has learnt to put her trust and hope in God.
Now, my parents and two children are all doing well. We would like to thank God for His blessings as I have been able to find a good job in sales that allows me to make 8,000 yuan a month.
父亲是身体意外事件留下伤害，不能正常工作，母亲带着赵主洲三岁的儿子做农耕农活。收到基金总额13100，主要用于过年家里开支和这三个月全家人生活费，妈妈信靠了上帝。
家庭情况：父母和两个孩子在家里都好。
工作情况：感谢主的祝福，我找到了不错的工作，做销售，每个月工资8000。
