* Maria WANG/王瑪麗亞 Beijing born; whose father a major delegate at overseas conferences representing the government. She joined the world’s 2nd largest computer company at the age of 25, and went to the USA to become an electrical engineer, fulfilling the “American Dream” within a few months of touching down. Her boyfriend was a Christian, and once insisted that she confessed the Lord’s name, but she could not do so! When they were once separated for a while, after boarding the plane, she suddenly thought of her boyfriend’s intimate calling of the Lord. She tried, “Oh Lord Jesus,” and started crying… A while later, she tried again, and her tears gushed down… at this point, the doors of faith were opened, and the Lord called her to follow Him!
