who Holds an Umbrella
"Because we have been caught in the rain, we want to be the ones who hold umbrellas for others."he said.
The following is Zhigang’s story:
Hello everyone, I am Zhigang. I’m very glad to meet you online. I haven’t seen you for many years. I’m now in Guangzhou. I am very thankful to be involved with Rainbow Missions (RM).I arrived at the School of Special Education of Changchun University in 2012. That year, because my family‘s financial situation was very difficult, I received a lot of care and help from RM.
I was born in Fujian to a Hakka family. Both of my parents were farmers. My mother was also visually impaired and my older sister attended college. I was introduced to Uncle Peter by a classmate and then joined the RM family. Since my sophomore year, I’ve been supported and helped by RM for tuition. During those years, our RM uncles and aunts would come to Changchun to visit us each year until we graduated from college.
During those years in Changchun, the RM uncles and aunts were always concerned about us and helped us. Without RM’s support and help,the pressures in study and life could have been unbearable – to ourselves and also our families. RM supported us until we graduated from college and gave us care and encouragement.
I was hired to work in a hospital in Guangzhou in 2017 and continue to live in that great city. The support and encouragement from RM over the past years gave me the desire to help others. RM gave me the insight and confidence to “pass on love.” I often volunteer or lead volunteer teams. Just as RM did for me, I want to hold the umbrella for others caught in the rain. The team I lead has helped more than 20,000 people! I also teach in a junior college of a special ed school. While I pass on the knowledge, I want to encourage more young people to join us to pass on love, continue to do good deeds, and transform this spirit into a force and a fire to illuminate the road for those who are still in darkness. Thank you all.
Please sponsor children with special needs and become someone who holds an umbrella for others.
