Testimony:

How I became a Christian:
I was approached in orchard road by a lady. She was doing street e. Then I said the sinners prayer with minimal knowledge of the meaning of being a Christian. After that incident, I took initiative to find out more about Christ. Kai Lun invited me to Youth Camp in 2001 and from there I grew closer to God. Eric Tan followed up with me after the camp and helped me into saying the Sinners Prayer the second time, but this time with more assurance and Faith. From then, I devoted my life to God

My life before conversion:
I came from a broken family. My parents are divorced when I was around primary one. I grew up staying at my granny’s house since primary 3 and I was then a quiet and obedient girl. I kept everything to myself and would cry at night when I thought about my life and my family. “Why can’t I be like the other kids, who grew up normally with a proper family?” I felt something lacking in my life. I was a sad girl though I know my family still loves me to some extent. I tried my best to please everyone, and soon realized that it’s impossible.

My life since I became a Christian:
I felt a lot more Love in my life and have learnt to be more open. I became a happier person. I know I have God to turn to and I am never alone. So I do not need to feel deprived anymore; Never felt that way ever since My life have become more fruitful and full of meaning. I think doing God’s work has made me a better friend and person. I care more for my friends now and would take initiative to catch up with them, and to see if they need help.
God has guided me in many ways too. When I was just converted, I moved out from my granny’s place to stay in choa chu kang with my stepmum. It was a tough phase of my life because I faced a lot of persecution from her. She is a nice person in some ways, but somehow she just can’t give me peace at home. God taught me to be slow to speak and to be slow to anger. That really helped me to avoid many conflicts and unrest at home.
