Mission Trip (Chengdu) testimony - part of

This mission trip is really an awesome and God led one. At the start of the trip, God encouraged us to trust in Him and not fear. On this trip, we did not do any rallies but instead we shared with the Chinese on a personal level. We want to make friends with them. Not out of duty but sincerely make true friends. We did faced some rejections, but thank God we were not discouraged but we pushed on. Finally God led us to find a guy named Yang Jian on the fourth day. He is very open and we found that we got a lot of things to talk about due to our lack of knowledge of the Chinese culture. And from him we got to know his two other friends, Da Ming and Chen Wei.

We arranged to meet them for lunch the following day. But God had it all planned. When we went for the lunch date, only Yang Jian turned up. We were slightly disappointed but we still went out with him. We asked him to ask another girl along so Theresa can get to know a female friend. He called one of his friends and she really came. So we split out our ways, guys to guy and girl to girl. While shopping with Yang Jian, we wanted to share to him about our faith and about God, but we couldn’t find the chance and did not have courage to create any opportunities. Ultimately it was God who draws and all we have to do is to follow Him. So God gave the opportunity and we grabbed it. Yang Jian asked us about what we do in church. And we immediately shared with him and followed on to tell him about how real God was. I asked him if he believed in miracles and followed on to share with him about the Thailand mission trips about how God healed them. He was so amazed! And then we went to Starbucks for a drink. During that time we shared with him about how to be a Christian. And during dinner, we invited Da Ming along and we bonded even better thanks to Edward’s magic tricks.

And on Sunday, we invited them for a farewell lunch. And we shared with them while eating. They were very receptive and asked us about how we knew God. They are very interested. And currently, we are still in contact with them through msn. And Yang Jian told me that he has started reading his bible which we gave him on Sunday. And Da Ming also told Theresa that he wanted to share Christianity to his friends and asked her how to believe in Jesus.

God is great and He has added to us new friends while serving Him. Thank God!
