Pekhar's Testimony

I come from a Buddhist family. Since young, I was taught and only get to expose to Buddhism. My parents are strong believers. My grandmother is of them too. They do the routine offerings without fail. They do not like their children to get involved in other religions, especially Christianity. I always felt an emptiness within my heart, there is something I can't put my finger on. But, I do not know what it is. Back then; I do not know who Jesus is.

My first contact with Christianity was when Gladys invited me to the Sunday Service a few years ago. The first impression was quite uncomfortable. I did not understand why everyone was so friendly. I did not understand what the people are singing and the hand gestures. Most importantly, I did not understand the bible.

Then, I stopped going for Sunday services or cell sessions. It was until a Christmas event that took place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2004. Again, another friend invited me. A couple of us, Cindy, Rhys and I turned up for the event. At that point of time, I felt a burning sensation. It was confusing. I did not know how to react. Then, I realized I said the Sinner's prayer and I have accepted Christ into my heart.
