I was born into a Hindu family. When I was six years old, a few people knocked on my door, and invited my family to the weekly children’s services of City Harvest Church. I attended City Harvest irregularly for a few years and was slowly introduced to Christianity. It was at age 11, that I decided I wanted to follow Christ only. So I gave up Hinduism and converted to the charismatic form of Christianity. However, as I approached the age to be transferred to a cell group, I witnessed some of the problems that were happening within the church. I saw explicitly many more issues with the charismatic movement and mega churches when I started attending the adults’ services. However, I was blinded and knew nothing else but this form of Christianity. I thank God for opening my eyes to the more subtle yet dangerous wrongdoings and false beliefs, which then compelled me to leave. I officially left City Harvest nearing the end of 2020.

One week after, I received a text message from my secondary school classmate, Wong En-Si, inviting me to the Truth Youth Fellowship Gospel Night. Thus, I attended the Gospel Night, followed by a few YF meetings and Sunday services. But I left briefly to attend another church, Bethlehem BPC. I soon returned to Truth BPC in July 2021, and have been attending Truth BPC’s Sunday services regularly since then. Here, I came to know of the true gospel of Christ and many fundamental doctrines through the many sermons and from Dn Franco Wong, Aunty Sara Wong, and many other church members. I started to believe in the true gospel from July 2021. I believe I am a sinner and cannot be saved except by the grace of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins, and my sins are washed away by His blood, that I am no longer condemned, but have eternal life in heaven. While in Truth, I have slowly grown to love the Lord more and more, both in moments of joy and in moments of sorrow, because He has never forsaken me, and has always been merciful and gracious to me. It is my prayer that even through trials and tribulations, I may remain close to the Lord and trust in Him completely. I know that the Lord will never forsake me even till the day I go to be with Him in heaven.

My name is Thian Za Mawi. I am from Myanmar, and am 21 years old. Born in a Christian family, I regularly attended Sunday school and Sunday service. I always listened carefully to what my pastor said, but was not sure about my salvation.

Our family has prayer meeting every night. My mother had always prayed hard for my spiritual assurance. Whenever she got up early in the morning, she prayed for our family's salvation. One day while she was praying, I woke up and heard her praying voice. I then became curious to know what salvation is. So, I knew salvation was very important in my life and my soul.

My parents always forced me to attend gospel crusades and church services to help me know about salvation. I did not accept Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and Lord until 2016.

In April 2016, our Sunday school teacher said we would have Children Salvation Programme. I asked my mother to allow me to attend this programme. Before the class began, I prayed to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. In the classroom, our teacher taught about the love of God, His sacrificial atonement for sinners and that whoever believed in Jesus would be saved based on John 3:16. Our teacher also said that salvation and eternal life are the gracious gifts of God, and that Jesus loves us. The teacher said that we are to acknowledge that we are all sinners and to repent in the sight of God. I gave thanks to God for my salvation. Then I came to understand the salvation that my mother had always told me about. Thus, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord on 13 April 2016, and I felt so happy.

Before I accepted Jesus Christ, I had doubts as to where my soul will go after I die. Will it be heaven or the lake of fire? But after accepting Jesus Christ, I have confidence where my soul will go. And now I desire to study the Word of God, and I want to share the Gospel with unbelievers.

After conversion, I did not know how to live my daily life as a Christian. Sometimes, I participated in fasting prayer in our church. When I prayed, God revealed to me what to do in the midst troubles and difficulties. Whenever I was depressed or sad, I read the Bible. I always read the Bible and pray every day. By reading Bible verses, I came to understand more about God and that He is with me.
