• Good morning, Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
  Today I would like to share my testimony with
  you. I came from a small village in China and
  never had the chance to hear or learn anything
  about religion. At home, my family worshiped
  Ancestors and gods. I never bothered to ask them
  who or what they were and simply did as I was
  told. I began to have more contact with different
  religions after my family moved to the US.

5

• Here, people often like to ask about your
  beliefs. When I was asked I often didnt know
  how to respond because I was a kid and had never
  thought about it. I started to hear more about
  Christianity about two years ago when my brother
  met a couple of Christian friends and started
  attending church with them. At the time I didnt
  understand why my brother became so committed to
  attending church every Sunday. He often asked me
  to attend church with him and meet some new
  friends. I never accepted his invite thinking it
  was going to be awkward not knowing anyone at
  church.

6

• Towards the end of 2013, I started hanging out
  with my brother and his friends from church.
  They were very nice and easy to talk to. As I
  built a relationship with them, I slowly started
  attending church and church events with them. The
  most memorable event happened on May 2014 when we
  attended a music Gospel event in a Chinese
  Christian Church in the Bay area.

7

• The sermon was presented by Pastor Big Joe from
  Canada. Pastor Big Joe pointed out a bad trend in
  todays society peoples moral standards are
  solely driven by self-interest which causes a lot
  of destruction all over the world. He mentioned
  if we are willing to change our mindset we could
  make a difference in this world. If we are
  willing to change then God will transform us into
  a better person living a Godly life.

8

• The night of May 3rd, 2014, Pastor Big Joe said
  Brother and Sisters in Christ please rise and
  sing to praise our God. I was unclear of his
  instructions and stood with them and sang along
  until Pastor Big Joe spoke again and said For
  those that have not believe in Him yet, if you
  are willing to accept Christ please rise and sing
  along.

9

• I realized I stood up too soon so I asked my
  friends what I should do. They told me to just
  follow my heart. I thought for a moment and
  realized it was meant to be. God was calling me
  and telling me to follow His footstep and let Him
  change my life. That was the most unforgettable
  life changing moment as I accepted Christ as my
  personal Savior.

10

• After we return to Sacramento, brothers and
  sisters in Christ were very nice and share many
  things with me about Christianity. They also
  started Bible study group with me. Through Bible
  study group and Baptism class, I understood that
  we were all sinners which caused our separation
  from God and the reason we needed to accept
  Christ.

11

• As I was learning about the Gospel, I started to
  think about my past and realized how God has
  worked in my life and how blessed I was. For
  instance, Sickness suddenly came upon me when I
  was in first grade and a surgery had to be
  performed. Our lord was with me and blessed me
  my surgery went well and I recovered quickly. God
  also gave me challenges and obstacles at
  different stage in life.

12

• In my last college semester the unemployment
  rate was at peak so I started my job search
  process early. Unfortunately, I didnt receive
  any offers after job hunting for over half year
  so I became impatient. I was finally able to
  find an opening and received an offer through the
  school job search website. Sadly, it was a trap
  and I fell for it. I had a phone interview with
  the employer and they said they would give me a
  chance to try it out.

13

• They were a construction company located in
  different areas and I was supposed to be the
  middle man helping them collect invoices from
  customers and transfer the money to them. On my
  first assignment, God hinted me many times that
  something was wrong with this job and I shouldnt
  go through with it but I couldnt understand or
  hear the warnings that came from God.

14

• I was a sinner and because of that I was blind
  and couldnt hear Gods Word. It was too late
  when I realized the job was a fraudulent
  position. I was lost and didnt know what to do.
  Even though I didnt believe in any God at the
  time I still asked for help when I was lost. God
  gave me a loving family. My family didnt blame
  me for what had happen and they were very
  supportive.

15

• People are weird, when everything is going well
  we believe in nothing but when something bad
  happens then we start to ask for help from God.
  Thankfully, our God is a loving God, He is our
  Father in heaven, and He loves us and is willing
  to accept us as we are. He always watches over
  us, helps us, and makes us a better person as we
  stride into eternity with Him. We should follow
  Him and live more like His only son Jesus Christ.
  Follow Christ and carry the cross with Him and
  become a good servant to the Lord.
• I have decided to follow him, our God our Aba in
  Heaven.
