Courageous Heroes

As we celebrate America's Independence Day, we recognize those among us who fight for life and liberty. 
  1. LRS Summer Camp Volunteers: the Canadian family that will valiantly serve our post-surgery children in China
  2. Shixiang's family: the young couple in Gansu that presses on, despite losing 2 sons to congenital heart disease
  3. Xiao Jun's family: the family of 7 that has been ravaged by illness and is now trying to save their son from bone marrow cancer
  4. Young Musicians Workshop: the American youth who wield their musical gifts to help desperate families overseas

Volunteers to China: Willing to Step Up

Picture
Our annual Little Red Scarf Summer Camp in Gansu is coming up in August. This weeklong camp gives us a chance to interact more with our post-surgery children and their siblings.

Cindy Chung and her 14-year-old son Shawn have answered the call to help us serve there this year. They have already been volunteering as translators for LRS. Reading about the children inspired the Chungs to meet and serve them in person.

“We cannot forget the people who are enduring hardship and living in poverty," Cindy exclaims. "Every little thing can make a difference in someone's life!”

Shixiang: The Fallen

Picture
Shixiang's mother is only 21 years old. She has already given birth to 3 children and has found out that they all had congenital heart disease, one after the other.

When she was just 19, she had already lost one of her children because of the disease. On May 31, 2016, she lost her second child, Shixiang. We grieve with the family and support them so they can save their only surviving daughter from the clutches of CHD. ​

What happens when a teen's passion for music fuels a desire to help the needy? The Young Musicians Workshop.

For the fourth year in a row, high school student Emily Kam has helped lead this summer camp to raise funds for an impoverished family in Asia. This year the youth sponsored a 1-year-old boy in Gansu who needed heart surgery. Get inspired by these young ones who creatively engage their community to serve and bless others.
