When Jun Mei was born a third daughter, her father said, \u201cThis family is cursed\u201d!  Now, her mother says, \u201cThere really is a God\u201d! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born into an impoverished farming family in a remote village, Jun Mei was only six weeks old when our fieldworker saved her from being \u201cgiven away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jun Mei is an unlucky third daughter. Like most third daughters in China, her birth did not bring joy to the family, but frustration and distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy is the third one still a girl?\u201d Her grandmother on her father’s side asked repeatedly. This grandmother had breast cancer, but her family could not afford treatment. When Jun Mei was born, her grandma began crying all the time, saying she would die without ever seeing a grandson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jun Mei\u2019s dad said the family was cursed by this third daughter, because they had reached their limit under the Three-Child Policy and had no chance to have a boy.<\/strong>  As the only son in the family, not having a boy is the greatest disrespect to the ancestors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jun Mei\u2019s mom felt helpless and hopeless about her life. Three young children, plus a sick old grandma and an unsupportive husband, Jun Mei\u2019s mom often had nightmares due to the extreme stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jun Mei\u2019s dad thought it would be best to give a third daughter to a daughterless couple, but mom disagreed.<\/strong>  She did not want to give away any of her daughters, but she had nowhere to turn in this desperate situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our \u201cSave a Girl\u201d fieldworker learned about Jun Mei\u2019s situation and met with her to offer encouragement and financial help.  Jun Mei\u2019s mom had heard of God but hadn’t had the chance to learn more. Our fieldworker, a passionate Christian, told her about Jesus.  \u201cNow it seems that there really is a God,\u201d said Jun Mei\u2019s mom<\/strong>, because people who believe in Him, have found her in her remote village and reached out to help her, without asking anything in return. Jun Mei\u2019s mom said that she felt profound peace in her heart, something she had never experienced in this stressful time. She needs more peace, so she wants to seek God and become a Christian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
