Knowing nothing but Communism, Kaiben and Jihong both grew up in different parts of China. When they came to the U.S. separately to attend college, neither had any idea their lives would be so radically changed by a guy they had never heard about named Jesus! Now pastoring a Chinese congregation in America and raising four children, their journey is paved with miracles, including victory over a deadly eating disorder.
