Tuesday Sister Liu Hsia, a national policy adviser to the president of Taiwan passed away last Friday. At the age of 12, Liu contracted rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic disease that confined her to a wheelchair. She did not receive any formal education past elementary school, but continued to study via radio broadcasts. Writing under the pen name "Hsinglintsu," Sister Liu devoted herself to promoting the welfare of the disabled and founded the Eden Social Welfare Foundation. Pray that God comfort her family, especially her mother and continue to use her articles to lead more people to Christ.
