Living on just 900 RMB (approx. $125 USD) a month, a rural pastor and his wife have spent decades serving God in conditions that seem forgotten by the modern world.

The woman who once forced her husband to prove God's existence with "a drawerful of money" now says: "Lord, as long as I don’t die of hunger, I will follow you always."
