Testimony one​

Thanks and praises be to the Lord Jesus Christ for He cares for me and chooses me to be His own!
On May 25 of 2013, in the Memorial weekend, in a Gospel Camp I confessed to the Lord Jesus that I am a sinner and accepted Him as my Savior. As I turned back to my life in the past several decades, I realized that I was an arrogant, selfish, jealous, over-sensitive, complaining and egocentric person. I often boasted on a minor success, and grouched over any difficulties. When God showed me my real self, I broke into tears and shame.
I came to America to visit my son and his family. My son and daughter-in-law are Christians. They often invited Christian friends over to our home to talk about their faith, but I always rejected them. I remember on one Sunday morning, I cooked the breakfast for them, but they said they were in a hurry to go to church for Sunday worship. The hot food was waiting on the table, and my little grand-daughter was crying, ignoring all of these they just walked out leaving my grad-daughter and a messy kitchen to me. I was furious wondering what was more important than eating breakfast. Going to church is just singing some songs and reading some Scriptures, that’s all! What’s a big deal of that? After they came back from church, I had a big fight with my son on lunch table. However, one day in an occasion I read my daughter-in-law’s testimony of how God’s Word had changed her thoughts and life style. I also saw her baptism pictures, I started to ponder on the meaning of going to Church and being a Christian. Gradually I loosed my fist and joined church activities with my son and daughter-in-law. I saw Christians sing hymns and worship God, read the Bible, listen to sermons, and pray together. I specially enjoy their Friday evening Bible Study group. The more I joined them, the more I found this is a different group of people, and their activities are meaningful. The Bible teaches people to love one another, obey parents, and obey God. I found joy, humility, peace, and love among these people. They are like families; when they have a problem, they seek answers from the Bible. Everybody is equal before God. I am a member of the communist party; never believed there is God, not to say a Savior. However, through these times of encountering, gradually my old life philosophy began to crumble. Finally in the Gospel Camp I made up my mind to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and the Lord of my life.
Now I am just a baby in God’s Kingdom。 In order to seek holiness in my life, I know I need to insist on my prayer life, learn obedience and worship, keep attending Bible Study, repent often, keep a good relationship with God and with other Christians, and grab the chance to share the Gospel, so that I may resist Satan and his temptations. I need to keep going. I hope many people will believe there is a spiritual world and accept God. I have determined that after I go back to my country, I’ll seek to remain in Christ to keep my own spiritual growth, and also to share the Gospel with more of my families and friends helping them to know the Christ and walk in His light.
God expects us to be overcomers, not losers; not to sink down and be defeated. Instead, He wants us to stretch our wings and fly high.

Testimony two

​I was born and brought up in China, where atheism is commonly taught in families and schools. We trust only in ourselves; there is never a Savior… When a Christian girl friend tried to share Gospel with me many years ago, I told her: “I believe in science; I don’t believe there is a god.”
About 3 months ago, when I returned to the US to visit my son, a junior studying in the university, I had a wonderful opportunity to participate in this Chinese Bible Study on Friday evening. In my first attendance, I told the Christians in the group that I didn’t believe the existence of God. However, when I heard their teaching of the Bible several times, I found this Book is really classic wisdom, which advises people how to work and live. Especially from their exploring the truth in Genesis, I found myself gradually developed a great interest in reading the Bible. Quickly I glanced through the first 3 chapters of the Old Testament and first 3 chapters of the New Testament. Having been a medical doctor as my profession, to my surprise I found that in Leviticus, a book written 3500 years ago even recorded public health and how to prevent infectious disease. These recordings are absolutely scientific! On my journey of searching the truth, I finally started to understand that we human individuals are so small, and our knowledge is also limited! In the invisible world there must be a God who is constantly guiding the humanity …. As days went by, my passionate Christian friend took me to a church, and I started to learn the truth from Sunday school teaching and Sunday preaching there. Pastor asked me to read the Gospel of Mark at least 3 times and then discuss with him my questions. I read 5 times to help my little faith. I started to understand Jesus is truly the Lord. Especially during the Christmas holidays, I attended the Chinese Christian Conference in Chicago. In this Conference I heard a pastor preached that in the Bible there are “four beings”: there is only One God; men are sinners; there is salvation, and there is blessing. Further I recognized that I am so limited in knowledge and experience. God has actually been calling me all the time in the world that was invisible to me. He wants me to know Him, and to get close to Him! We are actually from Him, of Him, and belong to Him!
Having been a medical doctor for some years, I deemed myself have saved many lives and thus a good person. However, before God, I found myself actually a sinner! In order to make more money, I left my doctor's profession and became a pharmaceutical salesperson. In that business I did things against my conscience. I have been often condemned by my conscience and moral sense, and my health was also deteriorating rapidly. In the past few years, I quit the sales job and felt like a strayed sheep, could not find the goal of my life! It’s indeed my blessing that, through the study of Mark I found I am a sinner, and the Heavenly Father sent His son Lord Jesus Christ to the world to save us. When we are still sinners, the innocent Jesus died on the cross to redeem us … . With this good news, I surely want to repent and become a new person through Jesus Christ, trusting in Jesus, and following Him as one of His disciples. I realized that only through this way I could be blessed! I cannot re-live my life, but I can receive eternal life through Jesus! I want to cut off my past through this baptism and start to receive a new life as child of God! Thank you, Lord Jesus for saving me! May You receive all the glory and praises!

Testimony Four

In China at home, during festivals my families always attend idol worship together in order to ask for blessings and avoid misfortunes. Even though I was not sure the idol-worship is going to work, since we rather believe it does than it doesn’t, besides, it is also part of our culture, so I continued to join their worship. In the past, my younger sister often talked about Jesus when she called me on the phone. I did not think this Jesus is any more special than our gods; I thought Jesus is just perhaps another god. Since last September I came to visit my sister, she started to take me to Bible study every Friday evening, so I had the opportunity to learn more about Jesus and found He is the true God. Last Christmas time, my sister and her husband took me to a Christian conference in Kansas City, Missouri. I had the chance to learn more of Jesus. And in my heart I started to feel I need His salvation, otherwise I am still just a spiritually dead person. I didn’t receive much school education and I know nothing about theology. But I believe what the Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus is the Lord, and believe in your heart, you will be saved.” Ten years ago when my mother immigrated to the U.S. and lived with my sister, .she was also an idol-worshiper before coming to the U.S. However, in three years she became a Christian. Now she is 85 years old, and lives in China our hometown as a Christ-follower. A year ago, when my older brother came to visit my sister, he also accepted Jesus and stopped worshiping idols. When I go back to China in this September, I’ll be like my mother and my brother; I came here as a spiritually dead person, and become a new creation in Jesus Christ when I go back to China. I pray the Lord to hold me accountable so that I’ll be able to glorify His name in my life.
