"I'm so happy, because I really believe that God's going to do something in Lilly’s life, because she was born because her parents listened to the Lord. That kind of situation, God has a right in the kid's life, you know what I'm saying? That's the testimony."

A few weeks ago, I was listening to a former YWAM missionary share amazing stories about his and his wife's life in China.

One of his stories impressed me so deeply that I thought, "This has to be shared." So I asked his permission, and recorded and transcribed this testimony.

Here it is! (For security reasons, the names were changed and locations deleted.)

And, please pray for "Lilly" as she starts this new adventure this week!

D:  Okay. Yesterday I went to visit a teacher named Mr. L. His daughter--she's 22, and her name is ["Lilly"]. By the way if you're
going to publish this, you should change the name...I'm taking her to [city] this week for a YWAM DTS [missionary training program].

J:  That's awesome!

D:  Yeah! Well, here's the story. Her parents had just gotten married in the 90's, and they had just gotten to know the Lord. And they found out they were pregnant, and it was unplanned. They wanted to know if they could have an abortion, because that's what everybody would do. I mean, abortion in China is just off the charts.

And we said, no, you can't do that, you can't kill what God has given you. And so I always thought Lilly--she was born because her parents listened to the Lord, right? So I thought, God must have a special plan for this kid.
