CHINA – Born with a hole in his heart, 10-year-old Lihao from rural China lived each day with pain, weakness, and shame. His heart condition left him breathless and exhausted, unable to keep up with the other children. At school, he was mocked for his frailty. At home, he felt the sting of deep loss—his mother had abandoned the family, leaving him in the care of his hardworking father.
Though his father labored tirelessly as a construction worker and foraged mountains for herbal cures, he simply couldn’t afford the surgery his son desperately needed. Doctors warned that without intervention, Lihao might not live past 20. But the surgery remained out of reach.
Despite being born with a heart condition and surrounded by hardship, Lihao found comfort in writing. He crafted stories of courage and hope, pouring his dreams onto the page. Then, one day, his story took a new turn.
Learning About Jesus from a Friend
A friend told Lihao about Jesus. Desperate and full of childlike faith, Lihao believed Jesus could heal him. He began praying, hoping that the God he had just come to know might hear him. Then came a miracle.
Operation Blessing heard about Lihao’s condition and stepped in to help. They paid for the life-saving surgery he so urgently needed. What once seemed impossible suddenly became real. Lihao emerged from surgery stronger, freer, and full of life.
Today, Lihao is healed. He runs, plays, and laughs like any healthy boy his age. And now, his stories are no longer just dreams—they’re true stories of rescue, faith, and healing. He says, “Jesus healed me.”
“Jesus Healed Me”
-Lihao
Born with a hole in his heart and a future full of fear, Lihao now dreams of joining Operation Blessing one day to help others like him. His life is a living testimony: Jesus heals, and help is never as far away as it may seem.
Operation Blessing paid for the surgery. Jesus healed Lihao. His story is just beginning.
