A Christian doctor who has retired and is now living in Fujian Province on China's southeast coast donated money to a Christian couple in wheelchairs.
During the three-year pandemic, Huaxiang (or Flower Lane) Church in Fuzhou held online gatherings most of the time. On March 5, a Sunday worship service could finally be held in person Dou Guizheng and his wife, who both use wheelchairs and are paralyzed, also got to the position prepared for them early and waited for the worship to start.
During the service, Rev. Chen Lifu preached a sermon with the theme of "Pray for Confidence", exhorting worshippers with the story of the disabled couple who "were full of sunshine on their faces every day after believing in the Lord." Then they attended the communion service together.
After the service, a female believer named Su Biying handed over Dr. Du Xuanye’s money to the couple.
Du, an 87-year-old Christian, is the chief physician of obstetrics and gynecology at Fuqing Hospital, with her whole family members being believers. She practiced for many years and treated many patients. With more than 50 years in gynecological medicine and nearly 30,000 operations without any accidents, she was selected by the Fujian Xinhua News Agency Branch for the "Fujian Hall of Fame or Heor-Model Records in Fujian."
Frequently, Dr. Du donates the Bible, hymnals, and chairs to the meeting place in the community. Preaching the gospel to acquaintances, relatives, and friends, she also offered RMB 100,000 for the new Fuhua Church in Fuqing City. Some time ago, Du learned from the Gospel Times about the deeds of the Dou couple and decided to help them, so she entrusted a friend to transfer the donation to them.

中国东南沿海的福建省的一个退休的基督徒医生资助一对坐轮椅的基督徒夫妻。
三年的抗疫中,福州基督教花巷堂大都以线上聚会进行。3月5日,花巷堂的主日终于可以线下敬拜了,高位截瘫、靠轮椅出行的窦贵争夫妇也早早到教堂他们固定的位置,等待礼拜的开始。
礼拜上,陈立福牧师以“求主加信心”为题证道,并引用残疾朋友窦贵争夫妇的见证劝勉大家,“信主后,他们夫妇脸上每天都充满阳光。”随后大家一起参加圣餐礼拜。
礼拜结束后,受杜煊烨医生的委托,苏碧英姐妹将杜医生的慰问金转交给窦弟兄夫妇。
87岁高龄的杜煊烨是福清市医院妇产科主任医师,全家都是教会信徒。她从医多年,医治众多患者。她从事妇科医务50余年,做了近3万余例术,没有出现1例事故。她的事迹被福建新华社分社编入《八闽英模录》。
杜煊烨医生常年为教会在社区的聚会点捐赠《圣经》和《赞美诗歌》,购置椅子给教会细胞小组聚会点。经常向熟人、亲友传福音,还为福清市福华堂新教堂建堂献奉10万元。前些时候,杜看到《福音时报》报道主内窦弟兄夫妇的事迹,决意要帮助这对残疾朋友,委托人将资助金转交给他们。
