For the past decade and a half, an American couple living in China have cited total reliance on God as the source of their success in giving aid to hundreds of medically-fragile orphans.
"You really have to have an absolute dependence on God that the money's gonna show up when you need it," Brent Johnson of China Little Flower told CNA Oct. 17.
Founded in 1998, China Little Flower is the parent organization of Brent and Serena Johnson's "apostolic hobby," Little Flower Projects, a charity that seeks to reach out to the most vulnerable of China's population by providing medical care to abandoned orphans and children.
The two first met in China in 1990 while there studying Chinese. Brent later converted to Catholicism and the couple married on December 28, 1991.
