An ordinary mother who brought her family of 62 to God died at 92.
Pastor Yun (pseudonym) began to make a living away from his hometown at the age of 17. Because of his faith in God since childhood, he wanted to gather everywhere he went. Subsequently, he conducted business during the day and received invitations from Christians to share the gospel at night. Later, God led Pastor Yun into full-time ministry, and he has been serving for more than 30 years.
Pastor Yun attributes his journey of service to God's grace and his mother's love and teaching.
Pastor Yun shared it at her funeral. She was the first Christian in the family. At the age of 36, she became a believer during an illness. In the following 50 years, she brought the whole family (including her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and their spouses) to God. When she was ill in bed, she was still preaching the gospel to the only son who did not believe in Jesus. It was not until the son, who was away from her all year, promised her to believe in the Lord and go to church that she left with peace of mind.
Pastor Yun recalled that after his mother believed in God, she attended gatherings and training. She not only often served in the church but also dedicated her home to receiving believers from far and near. She always spoke words of encouragement and cultivation, and she never said anything bad or negative.
When she met the villagers in the same village, relatives and friends, or believers, she would tell them to believe in Jesus and go to church.
She loved to sing hymns and pray. She never prayed for her children to be rich or promoted, but only asked God to lead the whole family to repent and believe in the Lord.
Pastor Yun admitted that he was very naughty when he was a child. He often fought with others and never gave up. But his mother always saved him with gentle teaching. Pastor Yun said that it was his mother who made him from an unreasonable child to a pastor who could speak the truth.
Pastor Yun is the youngest son in the family. His becoming a preacher brought great joy to his mother. A few years ago, Pastor Yun's eldest brother began to participate in church services, and his second older brother promised his mother to believe in the Lord before her bed, which was also the greatest joy of the whole family.
Pastor Yun's mother blessed many souls with the love and patience of Christ. On the day of the funeral, over one thousand relatives, friends, and believers saw her off.

一位平凡的母亲将全家62口人带到上帝面前，直到92岁安息主怀。
云牧师（化名）17岁开始，从家乡到外地谋生。因为从小信仰，他走到哪里都想聚会。本来是找聚会的地方，结果后来自己白天做生意，晚上被基督徒邀请去分享福音。后来，上帝带领云牧师进入全职服事，至今已事奉30多年。
云牧师认为自己能够走上事奉的道路，第一，是因为上帝的恩典，第二，是因为妈妈的爱和教导。
云牧师在她的安息礼拜中分享，她是家族中第一粒福音的种子。妈妈在36岁时，患病中信主。在之后的50多年中将全家人（包括儿女、孙辈、曾孙辈及他们的配偶）都带到了上帝的面前。当她在病床上的时候，还在给唯一不信耶稣的儿子传福音，直到常年不在她身边的二儿子答应她以后好好信主、做礼拜，妈妈才安心地离去。
云牧师回忆道：妈妈信主后，参加远近的聚会和学习培训。妈妈不但常常在教会里服事，也奉献自己的家来接待远近的信徒。妈妈总是说鼓励的话、造就人的话。从不说坏话、否定的话。
不管是碰到村里的人，亲戚朋友，或者信徒，妈妈跟他们说要信耶稣，做礼拜。
妈妈爱唱诗，也爱祷告。她从不为子孙大富大贵或者升官发财祷告，只求上帝带领全家人悔改信主。
云牧师坦言自己小时候非常调皮，常常跟人打架，并且打架的时候绝对不认输。但是妈妈总是用温柔的教导将自己挽回。云牧师说，是妈妈使他从一个不讲道理的孩子成长为能讲“道理”的牧师。
云牧师是家里的小儿子，他成为传道人给妈妈带来了极大的喜乐。几年前云牧师的大哥也开始参与教会服事，二哥如今也在妈妈病床前答应妈妈要信主，这也是全家人最大的喜乐。
云牧师的妈妈她以基督的爱，以基督的忍耐祝福了很多灵魂。出殡那天，送行的亲人朋友和信徒有上千人。
