Thanksgiving Testimonial Sharing by a sweet couple from Monday Night Small Group, brother Leon & sister Yii.

LEON’S TESTIMONY

I was born Christian but I only started going to Church after my dad passed away. It was due to my eldest uncle invitation to Chin Seng Methodist Church. Ever since then, it would be our Sunday activity- attend church and eat breakfast together with my family. For me, I only listened to pastor’s sermons on Sunday and that was it.

When did I learn more? I get to know a little more about Jesus when I started dating Yii. It was then I started to read more about Jesus Christ.

I remembered that one time when I read the bible, I became amazed by God’s power. It was Mark 4:35 Jesus calms the storm. He is so powerful that he could tell the sea to quiet down, only by his words.

From there, I read the explanation and realized that we need to have trials in our lives to have our faith tested. I didn’t think much about this, until I recalled an incident. I was diagnosed with Malaria and recovered even when I didn’t pray at that time. SO, I became grateful because God was there for me back then. It shows his power and love towards me to heal me, even before I TRULY know him. I am thankful and feel blessed to be a Christian.  That’s all for my testimony. Thank you. God bless.

YII’S TESTIMONY

For my testimony, I think before I get to know about Jesus Christ, my Buddhist upbringing kind of withheld me from accepting Christ. My great-grandfather was a Chinese medium. So, being a Christian seems like not my cup of tea then. Furthermore, I encountered unpleasant incidents with Christians in University. It made me dislike being a Christian. I guess they became the stumbling blocks as they did not really become good messengers of God. A good messenger must also exhibit good traits, not only on Sunday but every other day.

So why did I accept Christ now? I think this is mainly due to my siblings and Leon. A lot of incidents happened, changing my family members in the process and, I think I also slowly turned to God. With the presence of Leon alongside with our small group bible study members, I managed to feel peace. I guess that’s the peace that I would like to find in my life. I know I am not a perfect person, but I hope I will be a good messenger of God and not a stumbling block for other to believe in Him.  Thank you.
