主与我同在,
我为主作见证
我从决志信主到接受洗礼, 首先感谢以师母为首的姐妹团契,
团契里有两位领命很深的老妈妈—周妈妈和姚妈妈，给了我无微不至的关怀和帮助；我也要把一份特殊的感谢献给远在国内的妈妈，她的言传和身教使我看到了一个基督徒的伟大的人格力量。
我是在两年多前来到这个教会，初衷是为了讨我妈妈的喜悦，其次是抱着好的态度想知道圣经到底是怎么回事。真正促使我信主的原因是：我真切地感受到上帝的恩典，真实而博大。从我决志信主到接受洗礼这短短的一年，有许多美好的见证与大家分享。
去年春天我重病卧床一个半月，决定回国治疗。在上飞机前有许多人为我祷告，但是飞机因故在飞行五个小时后又返回多伦多。我们在飞机上整整二十五个小时才到达上海。我不住祷告求神保守我能够坚持在座位上，我真切感受到神赐给我那神奇的力量，居然没有太多的难过平安到达。去年冬天我发生了一场离奇的车祸，在高速公路上车子失控飞出公路并翻了车，当车子成了一堆废铁，我居然很清醒地自己爬出来，只是受了一点轻伤，这是一个奇迹，是上帝给我的最大恩典。
我们的主是一个信实、公义的主，主做事有定时。我仍记得在我进行决志祷告的两小时后，我得到了第一份专业工作，意想不到的头衔和年薪；在我等待受洗的日子里，我又得到了现在这份工作，同样满意的头衔和年薪。我深知我有多么的不配，我也深感主的大能，主能成就一切。
我愿意把哥林多前书第十三章四到七节与大家分享：“爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不张狂，不做害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。”神爱我们，我愿意接受洗礼成为神的儿女，爱教会，爱弟兄姐妹，凡事包容，凡事忍耐，在耶稣基督里成为一个新造的人。

最知心的朋友 -我的泪水，只有耶稣能懂
Jerry Chen
从小在台湾品学兼优，来到加拿大的我压力特别大，我自尊心很强，很想做回班上的第一，努力读书报答父母。但由于刚到加拿大不久，英文不好，我每天读书读到半夜三四点，我那时精神压力好大。有一次上课，老师问话，我听不懂，她当着全班的面说我很可悲(You
are pathetic).
后来因为一些原因我遭到了一些朋友的排挤，背后遭到了严重的背叛以及伤害，一次又一次的饶恕和包容，却换来了更多悲伤。我好恨，也好忧郁。我在加拿大的中学生活就是在这种受伤，仇恨以及忧郁中度过的。后来在UBC读了两年，这两年还是逃不开中学那些伤害我的人，我转学来到了Guelph来追求动物系。一个人在他乡异地，整栋宿舍只有我一个亚洲人，我感到好孤独。后来暑假搬到多伦多工作，人生地不熟，三个月几乎没有说什么话，过着很压抑的生活。我在多伦多住宿的附近有一个教堂，我每天上下班都站在教堂前面祷告，求神帮助我。当时没有人带领我认识主，可能是每天都会路过教堂吧，我很自然地向十字架祷告。
后来21岁时在Guelph交了个女朋友，是基督徒。她认识我的第一天就跟我说，你跟我们教堂的牧师长得好像，他也是台湾人。我当时很惊讶，Guelph这华人稀少的地方怎么会有台湾牧师?
后来她带我认识了牧师师母，我不知为何有种莫名的感动，觉得牧师师母人很好，家庭很温暖。这种温馨的气氛是因为信主的原因吗?
我当时忙着谈恋爱，没有太多的心思来了解。后来这断感情结束，我当时百感交集，很痛苦，觉得世界到了尽头。
单身以后，有一次在回忆前女友时，突然想起一句话，”信主者得到喜乐和平安”。于是我鼓起勇气独自到教堂。还记得那天一进教堂就听到了大家在唱
“主，你是我最知心的朋友。“ 后来在冯秉成的布道会上被
“全新的你”这首歌所感动了。看到那万人之口歌颂主耶稣，我心里受到了很大的震撼。相信每一个相信耶稣的人，都是新造的人，他们都选择离开黑暗的国度，走向光明的所在。后来在释放祷告会上，牧师带我回到了过去那些伤害的情景，因为主，我对那些回忆有了新的态度。因为主，我学会了饶恕。
感谢神，你终于召唤了我这迷失的羔羊回到你的臂膀中。我特么别感谢牧师和师母，他们那无私的爱，又把所有荣耀归给神，是我认识耶稣的动力。我也很感谢教堂的每一个弟兄姐妹，他们和蔼可亲，让我感到非常温暖,让我感受到信主者的喜乐与光明。我也很感谢Lisa,Jonathan,
Melody and YouYou，她们这几个真心伺俸主的年青人，让我体会到信仰不是只有年老人所追求的。最后，我也很感谢Jackie，是她把我带来这个教堂，让我认识每一位弟兄姐妹，让我认识主。因为她我认识了主耶稣，这是我一生最美好的礼物。
感谢主，今天是我最开心的一天，我愿意一辈子伺俸你，把所有荣耀归给你。我知道你无时无刻倾听我的心，永远不会离开我。过了今天我就是个新造的人。感谢主给我个重新来过的机会。主，你是我最知心的朋友，我的眼泪只有你能懂。
阿门
Lord, You Are My
All in All Testimony by Jerry Chen
- Strong in God
I used to be an
elite in my school when I was in Taiwan. After I moved to Canada as an
immigrant, I had given myself a lot of academic pressure when I was in
high school. Due to the language barrier, I had to study till almost 4
o’clock in the morning everyday and I was constantly living in a very
stressful condition. I still remember once when my teacher asked me a
question in front of my peer, I was not able to understand and give her
a satisfactory reply in English; she was vexed by that and to my
surprise, she called me pathetic. I felt so hurt from the humiliation.
That was the first time I began to find myself living with hatred and
pain. My high school life was thus filled with melancholy and discontent
for life.
After I
graduated from high school, I was studying at the University of British
Columbia two years, unable to avoid seeing those who had hurt me in high
school. I then decided to transfer to the University of Guelph, pursuing
its well-known Animal Science Program. I was the only Asian living in
the school resident and I had difficulty in my social relationship due
to my introverted personality and the cultural difference. I was really
lonely and nostalgic and eventually I became depressed. In the summer of
2007, I moved to Toronto alone for work and I barely talked to anyone
for three months due to lack of friendship. My melancholic condition
deteriorated. I still remember there was a church on my way to work in
Toronto and one day, I somehow started praying to God for strength and
support. I knew nothing about Christianity at that time but for some
reason, I just initiated my seeking for God.
After I returned
to school in September, I met a nice girl and I decided to be in a
relationship with her. She was Christian. I still remember that when she
first met me, she told me that you look alike the pastor in my church
who was also from Taiwan. Few days later, she introduced me to Pastor
Joe and his wife. Pastor Joe and his spouse were being very caring for
those who need help and they have touched the bottom of my heart many
times. “How does one live with beauty like this? because they are
Christian?” At that time, my mind was filled with love from my
relationship and I did not spend much effort in finding out the answer
until the relationship was ended. I was grieving much with sorrow and it
felt like the end of the world to me.
During my days
of singleness, once when I was thinking of my ex-girlfriend, I suddenly
heard a voice from the inside that told me “whoever believes and follows
the path towards God will receive joy and peace.“ I thus started
attending church on Sunday. I have always liked the holy hymns quite a
lot and I was very much touched by two songs “Jesus, you are my best
friend” and “You are brand new in Jesus.” One day, I started telling
myself, “I want to be brand new. I want my heart to be filled with the
Holy Spirit and live a life with a God as my centre.” I thus told Pastor
Joe that I decided to follow the path towards God and he prayed for me
to terminate my connections to the darkness in the past. I have learned
to forgive, to love and to fill my heart and soul with joy and peace.
Thank you Lord.
Today, I am very
much delighted by my return to the arms of God. I would like to thank
God for leading me towards him, knowing that he is all I need for my
life. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pastor Joe and his
wife for the unconditional love they have given that they attribute it
to God. They have motivated me to get to know the Lord. I would like to
thank every brother and sister for being amiable to me, constantly made
me feel warm and the light of joy. I also thank Lisa, Jonathan, Melody
and YouYou for their help in guiding me through the darkness towards the
bright. From them, I realized that Christianity isn’t a belief for just
the elders. They are also a gift for young man like me to accept,
embrace and love. Last, I would like to thank my ex-girlfriend for
introducing me to the church. I really appreciate what she had done.
Getting to know Jesus is definitely the best gift in my life.
Oh Lord, today
is the happiest and most memorable day in my life. I am willing to serve
you with my life, attributing all the glories to you. I know you are
always there listening to every beat of my heart. After today, I will
become a brand new person. I want to say goodbye to my sad past life.
Lord, you are my all in all.

Paul’s Testimony
My
name is Paul Yang. Ever since one year ago, I have been reading the
Bible a lot. It has made me begin to preach the Gospel to all of my
friends. Before, I did not like listening to my parents and my
brother and sisters. I would try to get along with my brother by
fighting with him, which isn’t right. Sometimes I listen to him, but
sometimes I don’t. But now, I try to be good and obey them. I saw
that many of my friends were getting baptized, which made me think
that I should too. I like praying to God and enjoy reading His Word.
I look forward to growing up and learning more about him everyday.

我2006年从上海来到加国, 由于女儿上班, 外甥女, 老头读书,
家中就我一个人. 我整日躲在家中不和任何人接触. 生活如行尸走肉, 心慌意乱, 睡觉时胡思乱想. 一夜吃4粒安眠葯也无济于事.
白天莫名奇妙头痛. 我对生活充满绝望. 不停焦虑愁苦. 日复一日面对枯燥单调沉沦的生活, 几乎窒息. 我本来已脆弱, 神经一触即发,
常歇斯地向女儿, 老头发脾气. “到加国简直是活人的坟墓, 我要回上海”. 12月一天, 我无意翻开教会送给我的一本日历.
上面有这样一句话: 喜乐的心乃是良药, 忧伤的灵使骨枯开”. 对啊, 神的话是那么触及我的心灵, 于是,
我每天晚上睡觉前不断地念(我不会祷告)真神, 慢慢地睡着了. 现在虽然还吃安眠葯, 但比以前好多了. 这就是神在看顾我吧.
我开始来教会的目的不同, 为了解闷, 与中国人聊天, 故坐进教堂听不懂.
牧师讲些什么, 只想早点结束, 可以天南地北地谈山海经. 但观察周围发现个个人全盛贯注地听道. 特别是祷告时那么虔诚.
我勉励自己一定安静下来听. 当讲到”凡事包容,凡事相信, 凡事盼望,凡事忍耐, 爱是永不止息的” 如果不认识耶稣, 做人没有一个标准.
我的心突然被唤醒. 我就是没有这种气度. 例: 老头把温州老家房子没与我商量送给他的一个侄子, 我气得天天恶骂: 你死后叫你侄子给你收尸吧!
又例: 我娘家在浦东金桥去年拆迁, 三个儿子各分到三套房子, 而我哥哥在文化革命中与家划清界限(因父是历史反革命), 大哥赴新疆建设兵团,
小弟插队入伍, 由于父母没有收入, 一家人全靠我和妹妹补贴家用, 维持温饱. 整整谵养了32年. 而如今拆迁连一块转头也没得到.
叫我心态怎么能平静呢?由于这两个原因, 也是导致失眠原因. 牧师的宣讲真道, 弟兄姐妹的言传身教, 我决心信主把我从罪恶深渊赎回,
赐给我新的生命.
Top
感谢主,
是你给了我喜乐,
平安
我叫严惠心,
2007年从中国来到加拿大.
刚到加拿大的头两天,
与儿子一家沉浸在团聚的兴奋中,
感觉真好.
可是儿子,
媳妇去上班,
孙女去上学.
当我一个人在家的时候,
我倍感寂寞,
孤独,
甚至害怕.
我看不到一个同事,
朋友,
甚至来一个中国人也看不到.
这一切对我怎么是这样的陌生啊.
我严重失眠,
整夜难以入睡,
加上我又遭遇人生不幸,
整天胡思乱想.
这样精神的折磨,
好一段时间让我觉得生命对于我已没有什么意义.
正当此时,
我儿子的一个朋友说这边有个华人教会,
里面有好多中国人.
这真是个好消息.
刚好第二天是星期日,
我儿子就把我送到教会.
当我看到许多又热情又善良的中国人时,
我的心里有无限的温暖.
我跟大家一起唱诗歌,
学圣经后就有一种莫明其妙的感动.
连我自己都觉得奇怪.
因为我出生在一个无神论的家庭,
从小在学校接受的也是无神论教育.
我不信神,
我只信自己.
今天这个情况真是没有想到.
从那以后,
每个礼拜日我都会来教会.
每次都有点收获.
特别是师母带领我参加妇女团契,
大家在一起查经交流,
又跟晓秋姐妹有几次交流,
这对我有很大帮助.
一段时间后,
我终于认识到世间有一位真神,
他就是耶稣.
他创造了万物,
拯救了人类,
我要相信他.
当认识到神以后,
我精神面貌全改变了.
我有一个好心情,
睡眠也正常了.
连我的孙女都说我现在有好多笑容.
若有人问我,
到加拿大最大的收获是什么?
我会毫不犹豫地说,
最大地收获就是信了主耶稣.
主啊,
谢谢你,
是你给了我三个孝顺地儿子,
儿媳和可爱地孙子,
孙女,
给我了许多喜乐,
平安.
给了我一个崭新的生命.

我的见证
我第一次接触圣经是在1994年，当时我正在北京学习英语，一个美国老师送给我一本圣经。我只是把他放在书架上，并没有真正去读。直到2005年11月，我和女儿到了美国，才开始真正接触基督教。教会的中国朋友对我们很照顾，但受无神论的影响，我心里还是很排斥。朋友拿来的“海外校园”，我可以一本不动地还回去。教会的聚餐，我会认为是糖衣炮弹。但后来，我发现这些人很友好，我开始参加中国人的查经班，参加主日的崇拜，也参加教会的服侍，但我从心里并没有多少触动，从没想过有一天我也会信耶稣。
2006年6月，我们全家来到Guelph，我女儿的病成为我巨大的负担。9月，抱着寻求帮助，我开始来教会。牧师、师母和教会的兄弟姐妹给了我很多的帮助。牧师和师母几次去我家看望我女儿，这让我非常的感动。通过听牧师讲道，经过很多的挣扎，我开始渐渐认识并接纳主耶稣。上帝爱我们每个人，甚至将他的独生子赐给我们，用他在十字架上的宝血，让信他的人得救。我看到了自己身上的罪，真的渴望这个救恩。在这期间，我在Guleph大学的口语parter
Amanda每周跟我一起读经，讲基督对她生命的改变，也给了我很多的启发。去年9月的一天，我女儿听了“荒漠甘泉” 以后对我
说，“上帝给我这么多的痛苦，也许是对我的试炼”。听了这话，我好惊奇。我想，这可能是上帝真的在光照我们了。就在那个周日，Pastor
Robin的讲道，也引起了我的共鸣。腓立比书4章6-7节说，“应当一无挂虑，凡事借着祷告，祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神，神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念”。圣经讲得多好啊！以前遇到了困难，只有眼泪，现在我有了祷告这个武器，我可以向上帝祈求、祷告。就在那天，我举起了我的手，接受耶稣作我生命的救主。我承认自己是个罪人，身上有很多的毛病，真的需要这个为我们舍身的神的引领。上帝借着苦难，让我认识他，亲近他。
去年寒假，我静心地把新约读了一遍，心里对主耶稣更是敬畏和感激。主耶稣在上十字架前，还在为钉他的人祷告：“父啊，赦免他们，因为他们所做的，他们不晓得。”这是何等的胸怀。我决定受洗，归入基督的名下。我深知，我前面的路还很漫长，还会有很多意想不到的困难，但只要能信靠主耶稣，我会勇敢地面对。愿今天成为我新生命的开始。

回到我心灵的家园
一
神的呼招
我对神的经历是平淡而漫长的，
没有扣人心悬的奇迹出现，
可是8年的慕道生活又辗转而多磨。
和许多新移民一样，
我和先生经历了8年的加拿大洋插队磨练，
没有捷径可走，
只有奋斗和汗水。
如今，
似乎我达到了8年前对生活的渴望-有一个属于自己稳定的家（虽然还不算大），有一份技能可以依靠为生，
有一个可爱的女儿；在我的生活和物质上的家日渐充实时，
我的内心却觉得更加孤独和空虚，没有依靠；我的心需要有个归宿----
第一次被带到教会是在2001年初在多伦多落地不久。
当我们满怀希望和梦想的心被眼前的加拿大现实生活打击的一落千丈时，我们迷惘而不知所措。
热心的房东太太把我们带到了教会。那时的我没有对神的渴慕，去教会的目的就是有机会认识些朋友，
希望有人给我介绍份工可作，
哪怕是份labour
工。刚巧那天有受洗仪式，
很多弟兄姊妹作见证，
常常说到中途会泣不成声，
那时我不理解，
心理暗暗发笑-这些人为了一个看不见摸不着的神而如此着魔，
不是被人洗了脑就是在加生活压抑久了而无处可述。
神在哪里，
谁能证明给我看？
这个大大的问号在把我的内心牢牢地关闭了8
年，可是神没有忘记我，仍然派他的侍工把我带到教会，
呼招我：每逢佳节思念亲人之时，住在多伦多的房东太太寄上贺卡用神的话语祝福安慰我；在我怀孕临产时，
周阿姨和教会牧师、师母的关怀；在我教育女儿困惑时，在Mall
里偶遇小秋而小秋对教会的引见-----这一切让我对教会又好奇又敬畏，
是甚麽让这些基督徒的爱孜孜不倦，
又是甚麽让教会这麽吸引人？
二
内心的挣扎
圣灵的感动
带着这些问题，
我在1年前回到教会，
开始参加主日崇拜。不知为何，
当我听到唱诗班领唱时，我的泪会不知不觉的往下流，
我强抑制住自己不让别人看到怕人笑话，在心理给自己找借口：也许好久没听流行歌曲，加拿大生活太单调，
以前听首动情的歌自己也会哭呀。那时我不知道那就是圣灵的感动。而且我心中的疑问尚未被解答。
基督徒的影响
后来我把这个感受将给我的同事王澍梅听，
她说：“玲玲这是圣灵的感动，
不要抑制自己，
这是神在你身上作的功”。可是我问她神在哪呢，怎麽能让我可以见到他。虽然她没有直接回答我，
可我知道我的感动是真实的。不久我的妈妈受洗了，她经常讲一些关于神的见证，
还从教会带回好多报纸和杂志。
有一天我看到中信里讲述一位台湾作家经历神的见证，
其中有一句话让我豁然开朗：“科学是用实验证明的，
而神要亲身经历来证明。”是呀，为甚麽我不能换个思维考虑，
如果他是一位主宰大地万物的神，我这个藐小的生命过客又怎能去证明？
经历神
从那以后，
我开始试着祷告经历神。
在我工作遇到困难和不开心时，
我求神给我智慧知道怎样与人相处。
说来奇怪，在我看来平时难相处的人，
对我越来越恭敬，同时我的心理也越来越能接受他；
工作起来越来越顺利。以前作为慕道友，
听到基督徒谈到死后归到天堂，
我想：谁还在乎死后的事，
现在活着时候的事还不够忙的呢。可是一个奇怪的梦向我展现了天堂的美好。一天我在梦里正祷告，
突然眼前一亮，
在光芒四射的大地上鸟语花乡，没有房屋没看到车辆，人群，到处充满阳光。
我醒来才发现是个梦，
可是那美好的梦境留在心中，特别是那闪亮的光环就象基督像背后的光环在我脑中迟迟挥之不去。这个梦让我坚信天堂的存在，
对神国的向往。
神让妈妈更坚强
4个月与病痛斗争的妈妈，
牵动了很多人的心。
得不到这里及时的药物治疗，
虚弱无力的妈妈又经不起十几个小时的旅途颠簸，
唯一的办法就是祷告。感谢主，
妈妈一天天好起来，
现在可以正常生活。
神不仅医治了妈妈，更重要的是我们看到了心中有神的妈妈变的更坚强。在病重的时候，妈妈劝我们：
不要怕，
如果神要接我到天国，
我是享福去了。是的，
面对死亡妈妈变的乐观而平静。这是神的力量。马太福音：9：27-29：“耶稣就摸他们的眼睛，
说‘照着你们的信给你们成全了吧。”
三
我心所属跟随主
以前没信神的我是个郁郁寡欢、思想负面，生活不知满足的人。经常为了别人一句不中听的话而自己生气好久，
或是为了将来还未发生的事情而紧张、忧虑。马太福音：6：25-34
写到：“勿虑衣食-----你们看那天上的飞鸟，也不种，
也不积蓄在仓里，
你们的天父尚且养活它，
你们不比飞鸟贵重得多吗？-----所以，
不要为明天忧虑；因为明天自有明天的忧虑；一天的难处一天当就够了。”自从我觉智后短短3周，
先生看到了我的敢变，他觉得我活得比以前放松了，心情不那样紧张，
而且对人对事更宽容。
因为我的心连同我的重担全部交拖给了主！

Hello everybody, my name is
Kaity. As most of you probably know, I am Pastor Joe's eldest
daughter. I have been fortunate to have grown up in a Christian
family for most of my life, and the benefits of this was a stable
Christian environment where I learned about life. I was about seven
when I first accepted Jesus as my personal Savior, and about a year
later I asked my Sunday school teacher if I could be baptized. At
this time, we were at a relatively old-fashioned church in Hamilton,
and the common belief was that a seven year old child did not fully
understand what it meant to be a follower of Christ. Therefore, my
Sunday school teacher basically refused to let me get baptized.
However, at this age I already did understand what Jesus had done
for me, and this was thanks to my parents, as well as my school. I
remember praying with both my teacher and my parents separately so I
could make sure that I definitely accepted Jesus into my life. After
not being allowed to be baptized at this age, baptism became
something for me to do later –when I was an adult. Growing up, I was
a Christian and I knew it, but whenever my parents urged me to get
baptized, I kept saying, “maybe later, maybe later”. I just thought
that baptism was something that should be done later, and this
became my common excuse. However, this does not mean God was not a
part of my life. God helped me in so many ways, and helped me past
so many obstacles. Whether it was from praying to Him for me to pass
Grade Four History in piano to the Him being simply present and
reassuring during a time of fear, it was always apparent to me that
Jesus was there whenever I needed Him. I went to university after
this, which opened up my eyes to the real world. Before university,
I lived in a Christian bubble where all I knew and learned was from
a Christian point of view. University was a place where people
exchanged ideas about what they believed and why. In debating with
people from completely different backgrounds, religions, and
cultures, my belief in Christ has been strengthened so much. I
learned which beliefs were most important to me, and which beliefs
were perhaps not as accurate as I thought. I now know exactly what I
believe and how to explain why. I also saw the secular life that I
could have led if I was not a Christian, and because of this I am
now extremely grateful that I had such a loving family that raised
me in the Christian tradition. This is because it is apparent that
my life could have been completely different. During my university
time, I did not give baptism much of a thought even though my
parents urged me towards. Part of the reason was because I was away
to school for most of the year, so I kept putting it off. However,
now that I am 21 years old and finished university, I believe that
it is past time for me to get baptized. I now realize that it is
wrong to keep pushing off getting baptized, because baptism is an
important step in proclaiming to the world your beliefs and
Christianity. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who sacrificed
Himself for us, so that we could have a chance to be with God. I
believe that I am a sinner who does not deserve God's grace. When I
read Acts 22:16, it was as if God were speaking directly to me. It
says, “And why do you delay? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins
washed away, calling on His name”. It was as if God were telling me
to stop wasting my time and His. This is why I wish to be baptized
today, and I believe that my journey and ministry in Christ is just
beginning. I would like to close with a verse that has been
extremely important in my life. Psalms 56:3 says, "What time I am
afraid, I will trust in Thee." During my greatest struggles and
fears, this has been a verse that has helped me. Every time that I
doubt or fear, I know that all I need to do is trust God because
everything is in His hands. Please pray for me and support me in
this new chapter of my life. Thank you.

心的旅程
虽然从小在”无神论”的教育下长大,但我始终知道自己还是相信这个世界上是有神存在的.从小就很喜欢带观音的挂坠,平时学习累了的时候也会用塔洛牌和星座算算命,从学习爱情到事业,想到什么算什么,假期的时候也会去那些佛教名山观光旅游顺便拜一拜,只不过在国内,我并没有太多的机会接触Jesus.
去年1月的时候,我来到了加拿大,正是在这里,我第一次认识了主.虽然我在Guelph住的时间并不长,但跟着二姨一家,
我在教会里认识了很多信主的人,也正是在这些人之间,我体会到了十几年来不曾体会过的宁静、祥和，生活不再像在国内一样充满算计和尔虞我诈。原本看惯了国内的人情世故，在这里，我第一次有如释重负的感觉。
因为学习的缘故，在多伦多这个充满现代气息的大城市,我只身生活了近一年.在这一年的生活中，我虽然只去过教会几次，但我遇到了很多使我感动的人。第一次到多伦多上课的时候，因为对路不熟悉，我坐错了汽车。正当我束手无策的时候，一位70多岁老奶奶过来带着我找到了正确的汽车，通过聊天，我知道了她是一位在加拿大住了快50年的基督徒。还有一次，在我准备去Montreal考试的当天，我突然发现自己的钱包丢在了前一天去过的超市。正当我着急的时候，又是一位60多岁的老奶奶帮了我。陪我等在超市门口等超市开门，当我在超市里没找到钱包的时候，她还决定推掉和朋友的见面，陪我去警察局、银行补办证件。虽然她并不是一个真正的基督徒，但她几乎每个周末都会去教堂，而且还告诉我如果遇到了什么困难，可以去教会求助。类似的事我遇到不少，对教会的好感也油然而生，自己也开始在不知不觉中尽力去帮助有困难的人。
在我的心中，我始终坚信，在冥冥之中，是神把我一步步带到了今天，是他只指引我来到加拿大，来到Guelph，来到教会。每当我遇到困难的时候，就会遇到帮助我的人。他带领我他带领我冲破黑暗，重新找到生命的意义；它是一束耀眼的光，为我指明了生命的方向。
以前怎么也想不通,为什么自己会是有罪的人.但是通过读圣经和与教会的人接触,我慢慢的懂得了,并不是只有做违法的事的人才有罪.真正的最源于人的内心,嫉妒、不平、攀比、欺诈……这些罪远远要比杀人更可怕，因为杀人有法律可以约束，而内心的黑暗只有自己才知道。神也正是深知这一点，才会把他的独子派来解救我们，用他的宝血洗净我们的罪过，也让我能够有机会在这个世界上重生。
去Waterloo听布道会时,那位牧师曾形象地比喻过:有人的心坚如磐石,
有人的心布满荆棘,也有人的心却是一片沃土.如果想要Jesus的种子萌芽生长，就要移除心中的磐石，披荆斩棘，营造出一片沃土。一路走来，我遇到了太多的感动，在这些感动中，我知道我的心一定会变成一片适宜生长的沃土。

我从小的性格还可以，到了懂事的时候常被人笑过，从此就不热衷去参与任何集体活动，也没有任何朋友。一开始都是学如何和人相处，我选择了逃避，所以性格上没有意识到需要有其他人做朋友，开始接触网络和小说的我，渐渐开始迷上去，也学了很多不好的东西，总觉得我不是抽烟打架什么的，也不上网吧，成绩也还可以。来到加拿大，住在叔叔家，两个堂妹从一开始的好奇到以老大的自居以及学习上面临的困难让我很痛苦。因为我学习跟不上，别人也不想帮我，其实自己很清楚世界是自私的，但是遇到困难了，还是想要别人来帮我.
也不想自己从不主动，太过自我的性格,
并且其他人喜不喜欢，愿不愿意我在那里。然后，刚来Guelph的时候，我想着不见到她们就好，接着的几个月，又遇到和人相处的问题，要看心理医生，那时我只想要逃避，又耽误了不少功课。第一次去教堂是一个叔叔叫我去，我本来坚信达尔文的进化论，就算没听过无神论，也认为是封建迷信，就很背扭。后来选去读教会学校，是因为不能忍受正常学校别人的语言攻击，印象中信基督的人的为人都会好一些。有圣经课，科学课也是教神如何造人，学习没有好多少，我又是重读7年级的，不是自负就是自卑，更是拚命依赖我认为包容一切的黑色。过了大概两个月，一次我放学的时候提到我喜欢撒旦，我父母就紧张起来，说那是魔鬼，我莫名其妙，只觉得灯光特别暗。真是感谢主，我那时已经觉得害怕了。杨牧师和师母当天晚上来帮我赶鬼，告诉我什么是邪灵和为什么他们不好，我听了还觉得要提问，到我相信，要接受的时候，一个声音，我以前从未听过的男声，不断地说:
“我是对的，你要信我。”
脑中的声音越来越大，恐惧，彻底的寒冷，我告诉牧师，那时我什么都感觉不到，只有听见那狰狞的声音，牧师问我愿不愿意信主，因为只有神可以救我，我一句句的跟牧师和师母说，决志。说完祷告后，突然感受到神的存在，发觉自己不喜欢黑暗，惧怕我以前一切那些和地狱有关的认识，好像刚刚脱离被控制的思想的人。痛哭，我哀求神，我真的认罪，我只信圣主耶稣，求神救我。主耶稣让我平安过了接下的几天，让我不受那声音的诱惑，谢谢主。我想法上改变了很多，很认真地看圣经，就算我很多事还不能达到上帝的要求，还有很多还改不了，不好的习惯，自己字面上的理解圣经，但是我很清楚该信的真神和主耶稣基督，每日求主的原谅。天上的神，我在你面前是那么不堪，a
most sinful person,
我恳求你的饶恕，我感谢你，我知道我不配，何等荣幸得以认识你。免我们的债，救我们脱离凶恶，因为国度，权柄，荣耀，全是你的，直到永远，阿门。
（马太福音6：12-13）愿人们都尊你的名为圣，更多得像我一样的迷惑过的人得救。阿们!
Artemis Huang’s Testimony
When I was little, I had
pretty good characters. At the time I was growing up, I was teased by
other others, and then I stopped getting involved in any social
activity, resulting no friends. In the beginning, when I began to learn
how to deal with others, I chose to escape. I had no desire of needing
any friends. Then I started to get addicted to internet surfing and
novels. I did not think that was harmful for me, because I kept my
scores at the top in my class. Besides, in my opinion, bad things were
those like: smoking and ganging. We immigrated to Canada last year. We
lived in my uncle’s house at the first few months. I was not happy while
stayed there with my two cousins. Further more, the difficulties I came
cross in my study, but no one was helping me with my English made me
miserable. Even though, I knew the world is selfish, but when I
encountered difficulties, I expected others to offer help to me even
though I didn’t want to take the initiative to ask for help.
We moved to Guelph last
September. I thought that things will be better because I will not have
to see my cousins any more. However, I have to face with the problem of
getting along with others again. I have to take medicine and go see
psychologist. But I did not want to face the fact that I need to change.
My study was going downhill at that time. The first time I came to
Calvary Baptist church it was Mr. Yuan who live in our community gave us
a ride. I received the evolution education in China and didn’t believe
in any religions. It was hard for me to accept that God created the
world.
I was transferred to
Crestwicke Christian Academy to repeat grade 7 in September this year
because I could not take the verbally accuse any longer from public
school; I was hoping Christian students would be nicer. The school has
Bible classes, and teaches about creation. My study hasn’t improved too
much. I was disturbed either by self-pride or low self-esteem. I was
obsessed with black, because I thought that black could forgive every
thing, including my un-perfect sides. Two months later, one day, I
mentioned to my parents that I like Satan. My parents became very
nervous. They told me that Satan is evil, but I didn’t really care. One
day, I just felt that the light was suddenly so dim. I felt scared, so I
agree to give up on those. Pastor Yang and Mrs. Yang came to our home
that night to cast out demons for me. They explained to me what evil
spirits are and how they posses in human body. I began to believe what
pastor Yang told me, suddenly, I heard a man’s voice: “He is
wrong and I am right, you need to believe me.” The sound got louder and
louder. I was terrified and felt chilly. I told pastor Yang about the
sound, I can’t think of anything except the malicious voice. Pastor Yang
asked me whether I believe in Jesus Christ, because only Jesus can help
me. I said yes. After the prayer which follows pastor Yang, I rapidly
felt the existence of God. I found that I didn’t like black any more and
refused all things related to the hell. I cried, begged for forgiveness
and acknowledged Jesus as my savior. I proclaimed my faith in Christ and
prayed for help from Him. Jesus helped me clam down and I was not
terrified and tempted by that voice again, Thanks God.
My way of thinking has been
changed a lot since then. I appreciate what other people has done for me
and learn to humble myself and being thankful. I started to read the
Bible with a humble heart, even though I knew there are a lot of things
I can’t reach God’s expectation and can’t change right away, but deep
down in my heart I strongly believe in God, the true and only one. I ask
for forgiveness from God everyday. Father in heaven，the
most powerful one; I like dust when standing in front of Him. A most
sinful person, I beg your forgiveness, I thank You，I
became a precious person in Your eyes，what
a grace that I come to know you! Forgive us our debts and do not bring
us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one，because
nation，authority，glory，all
belong to you，forever
and ever，Amen.（Matthew
6:12-13）Our
Father in heaven, blessed be your name! I pray that other people lost
like me can be saved as well.
Amen!

今天 (2007年12月2日)对于我来说是一个很特别的日子，因为我终于有机会可以加入到基督这个大家庭里面了。站在这里，我心情激动不已，感谢主拣选了我。
我不知道什么时候开始相信灵界的存在，小时候，有什么解决不了的事情，我的妈妈和外婆就会去求神拜佛，因此，我的心里经常有畏忌，常常恐怕得罪菩萨而惹病招灾。到后来，我大学毕业开始工作了，有一次，我妈妈去问卦，仙婆请我爷爷上来，说了一些有关我们家当时的情况（很正确），最后要我妈妈叫我每年回乡下拜他。从此，我就开始定时的，按要求的求神拜佛拜祖宗活动，非常的认真，虔诚。去年二月，我们移民到加拿大，从此，不能按要求的去求神拜佛拜祖宗也就成了我的心病，心里总是不能平静，得不到平安。
另外，关于如何正确教导孩子的问题也令我倍感头痛。我妻子认识一些基督徒朋友并跟随他们经常随朋友去了贵湖浸信会华人福音堂。每次从教会回来，妻子都喋喋不休地告诉我有关牧师讲的道及教会的人和事。每次，妻子都会问：下次你和我一起去教会吗？开始，我去教会的愿望并不强烈，随着妻子问的次数多了，我想不仿就去看看吧。我在教会认识了一些基督徒朋友，从他们热情的话语和喜乐的脸上感觉到他们谁都比我们活得轻松自在，似乎没有任何烦恼的事缠绕他们，很羡慕他们。我开始对基督有了兴趣并开始常去教会。教会给我一个家的感觉,它令我能够把生活里的所有烦恼抛开,安静地进行礼拜。或许这也是神的一种力量吧!
在杨牧师和师母的帮助下，我决志信了主耶稣,
知道衪是我的救主。随着去教会次数增多和看圣经。主使我知道有很多事情只要多祈祷,
心中就会得到平安。自己怀着一颗感恩的心去对周围的人和事，怀着一颗感恩的心珍惜自己的新生命，这都是神所喜悦的。走在信主的路上，我的生命丰富切充实了。
Statement of Faith
Today (Dec. 2nd, 2007) is
special for me, because I join in the big family of Christian finally. I
am so exciting while standing here, thank you for the god to select me.
I don’t remember when I
became believe the exit of evil spirit. When I was a child, my mom and
grandma went to a temple to pray whenever they had anything could be not
solved by themselves, as a result, I usually worried about any bad thing
happened because gods did not happy with any thing we did. I got a job
after graduated form a university. One time, my mom went to a temple to
pray, a woman that hath a familiar spirit told her something about my
family correctly, and asked my mom to require me to a temple to pray my
grandfather each year. From then on, I went to the temple to pray each
year
seriously and honestly. We immigrated to Canada at Feb. last year. I
could not get peace and calmness in my heart because I could not go to
the temple to pray each year. Besides, I was very upset for I had no
idea to disciple and teach my child who will be a teenage soon. My wife
made some Christian friends and followed them to the Calvary Baptist
church on Sunday. Each time, she told me very thing about the church,
finally, she would ask me: “will you come with me next Sunday?” I didn’t
have too much interesting about church at that time. However, I made up
my mind to go with my wife after she asked me many times. I made some
friend in the church, I admired them because not only their
enthusiasm,
but also their smile. It looks like that they don’t have anything needed
to be worried about. I am interested in such environment and go to the
church regularly. The church as if my home that gives me the feeling of
safe and peace. I can do worship peacefully and forget all upset. Maybe
this is a kind of ability drives to God. With the help of Pastor Yang
and his wife, I believe God and accept Jesus as my savior. I know that
if you pray more, you get peace in you heart after I attend to the
church many times and read Bible. You will be happy, if you have a
thankful heart toward any one around you; a thankful heart to cherish
your own new life.

I am not a good mother. I
had been focused too much on marks of each examination for my daughter
and the rank of her scores in her class. What I saw was her shortage and
where she needed to improve in her study. We have bad relationship
between my daughter and me. I didn’t think that was false and would hurt
my daughter. I didn’t know how to change the situation. Whenever I had
difficulties in my life or work, I called my mom. She would go to a
temple to pray gods and ask for help. One time, my mom told me that
Buda said my destiny and my daughter’s destiny are conflictive.
According to the guidance of Buda, my daughter should be a daughter
under Buda. However, the relationship between my daughter and me didn’t
getting any better.
I began to change my
thinking after we move to Guelph from China, where I made some Christian
friends. I am so admire them, not only because they achieved success in
their job, more importantly, because they have happy family life and
good relationship among their family members. I asked them whether they
have any secret. They gave me a lot of useful suggestions including go
to the church. I accept most of the suggestion except church. I knew
little about church and Jesus Christ. I kept busying in my labs’ work
while having been disturbed by the bad relationship with my daughter. I
didn’t see any hope in my life. After several months, I made up my mind
to come with my friends’ Calvary Baptist church. I was attracted by
pastor Guo’s sermon although I still believe evolution other than God
created the world. I wrote down some sentences which I thought them
useful for me on a piece of paper and stuck it on wall of my bedroom. I
tried to take my daughter to come with me to the church, but failed. I
stop going to the church for a couple of weeks. At last, some friends
gave me suggestion: you can go to the church whether your daughter comes
together with you. She will watch you and know your change. I continue
to go to the church regularly. During worship each time, I listen
carefully to pastor Yang’s sermon. I found that the church is a place
where provides me with peace and calm in my heart. I knew that this is a
right way I should go although I haven’t known much about Bible. I hope
my husband and daughter would go to the church with me one day. So, I
decided to join the big family of Christian. I have changed a lot since
I believe in Jesus. I am more patient and understanding and not as easy
angry as before. I know that I wouldn’t change without the help of God.
I called my mom and told her it is useless to pray for the gods, because
there is only one real God, Jesus Christ, who can help us.
Peace be to the brethren, and love with
faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all
those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. (Eph.
6:23-24)
我自认为自己不是一个好母亲。我太注重女儿的考试分数；我所看到的尽是她的不足及在学习上仍需改进的地方;
女儿和我的关系并不和谐。我从未意识到我做的不对并且伤害了她。我不知道如何改变这种状况。每当我在工作或生活上遇到困难，我就打电话给我母亲，她回到庙里求签。
有一次，我母亲把求神拜佛的结果告诉我说：我的八字和我女儿的八字不和，需要把我女儿过继给
观音菩萨。我们按要求作了，然而，情况并没有任何改观。
我们来到Guelph后，我认识了一些基督徒朋友并开始改变我的旧观念。我很羡慕他们,
不仅因为他们在事业上的成功，更重要的是他们有幸福的家庭生活和家庭成员间良好的关系。我曾问他们有何秘诀。他们给了我很多用的建议，包括去教堂。我采纳了除教堂外的大部分的建议。那时我对教堂及耶稣知道得不多。我继续忙碌的实验室工作与和女儿间不和谐的关系。在生活中，我看不到未来。数月后，我下决心和朋友到教堂去一次。那次是郭牧师讲道。我被他所讲的内容吸引住了，虽然那时我仍然相信进化论而非创造论。我将一些我认为对我有用的句子写在一张纸并贴在卧室的墙上。我尝试想把女儿也带到教堂，却未能如愿。我自己也索性好几周没再去教堂了。后来，朋友建议说：你还是自己去，你女儿会看着你并知道你的变化的。我开始有规律地去教会。每次礼拜，我都很认真听杨牧师讲道。我发现教堂能使我的内心平静和安宁。
我知道这是一条我将要走的正确的路，虽然对圣经所知的还不多。我希望我丈夫和女儿有一天也能和我一起到教会。所以，我就决定加入基督这个大家庭。我打电话高告诉我母亲：求神拜佛是没有用的。因为真正的神只有一个，那就是主耶稣。自从我信主耶稣后，我改变了很多，我变得比以前有耐心和不象以前那样容易发脾气。我知道如果没有上帝的帮助，我不可能有这样的变化。愿平安、仁爱、信心、从父神和主耶稣基督、归给弟兄们。并愿所有诚心爱我们主耶稣基督的人、都蒙恩惠(以弗所书6：23-24)。

伍改云的受洗见证
我认为一个人只要能和善待人，行事正当，就是称为一个好人。觉得信仰跟自己没有什麽关系。有神也好，没神也好，不想把自己局限在某个圈子里。对于基督的感觉是既陌生又熟悉。陌生的是十几年以前在中国的我没有听说过基督。熟悉的是自从来了加拿大以后，在这个宗教信仰自由的国家里，当然听到基督的机会就更多了。而且自己也有些朋友是基督徒。但是，我却不想去认识，不想去接触基督福音。但我相信宇宙间有一位神，一位至高无上的神。当我心情低落时，我都会仰望天空，寻找宇宙间的那位神到底在哪里？想归想。日子和往常一样一天天地过去了。
直到有一天，通过朋友的引荐我第一次参加了贵湖华人国语教会的主日崇拜。记得那是去年的6月3
日，杨牧师讲了”生命的奇迹”。人的罪多，神的恩典也多。当时我在想“罪”，
什麽罪。我有罪吗？我是一个守记遵法的好公民。罪从何来。后来听完牧师的解释,
任何与上帝的圣洁品格，标准，行事方式和上帝旨意不符的事都是罪。罪可能牵涉到错误的行为，没有做应当做的事，不洁的思想或自私的欲望。基督在我们还作罪人的时候钉在十字架上为我们而死。且藉着耶稣的死，我们得与上帝和好。就在那一霎那我的内心受到了很大的感动和冲击。也让我深深认识到上帝的爱，怜悯，宽恕和包容。现在回想起来，那时主已悄然进入我的心中。
正如圣经所说：“神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。”（约翰福音3：16）今天我终于不再是害怕死亡。因为主耶稣已住在我的心里。他永远不会离开我,
并且他会一直看顾带领我。现在的我常常参加聚会。参加聚会能帮助我对创造主的信心和内心的喜悦。另一个帮助是可享有良好的团契，温暖的基督徒交谊能够加强我的决心和信心，帮助我努力不懈地培养德行,
继续留在生命的道路上。现在的我也找到了人生的意义，那就是赞美主，荣耀主。在生命当中，在自己的职业中活出基督徒的荣耀和本分来。让世人都看到作为基督徒的光荣和美丽。
今天，我承认自己是罪人。也愿意悔改同时我相信上帝是唯一真神。也愿意接受耶稣基督做我的救主。此刻我的心情十分愉快。因我我知道在我选择主的那一刻。我的生命已开启了一个新页。
It has been my belief that
as long as one treats others with kindness, and does things with
conscience, he or she is a good person. I would have never imagined
having anything to do with faith and belief. Whether or not there is a
God, I would never have wanted to enclose myself inside such a circle.
I have had mixed feeling toward Jesus Christ; I have never heard of
Jesus before I left China more than a dozen years ago, yet, all a
sudden, after I came to this free country of Canada, wherever I have
been to, I could not avoid hearing about the name of Jesus. Soon, some
of my friends have become Christian; however, I have never wanted to
know about Jesus or Christianity. I do believe, though, that there is a
God who is the creator of the universe and is almighty. When I am low,
I even lift my eyes and look into the sky, trying to find out where such
a God is up there, but more often than not, I just let my days passing
by.
One day, a friend of mine
invited me to come to the Sunday worship at the Chinese Service of
Calvary Baptist Church of Guelph. That was June 3, 2006, I still
remember vividly, that Pastor Yang gave a sermon on THE MIRACLE OF
LIFE. We as individual people have many sins, he said; however, God has
given us more blessings. I started to rethink about the word “sin”.
What are sins? Am I sinned? I am a good law-biding citizen, what sins
do I have? After listening to Pastor Yang’s explanations, I have become
aware that anything that does not meet the holy characters and standards
of God, and His ways and will, is a sin. I learned that Jesus Christ
died on the cross for our sins, and only through His sacrifice, can we
reunite with God, the father. I was shocked, no, moved by an
indescribable feeling inside my heart; I felt being deeply touched by
the love of God, His mercifulness, forgiveness, and kindness. Looking
back now, that must be the time when the Holy Spirit of Jesus came
inside of me.
John 3: 16 says: “For God
so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. Today, I no
longer fear of death, because Jesus lives in my heart. He will never
leave me, and he will forever protect me. Now, I come to the worship
every Sunday. Worshiping gives me joy, and participating in worship
strengthens my faith in God the creator and my determination to follow
Him. It also provides me good fellowship with other brothers and
sisters; helps me walk in the life of Jesus Christ. I have finally
found the purpose of my life, that is, to praise the Lord and to glorify
Him, at work and home, so when people look at me, they see the glory and
beautifulness of Jesus.
Today, I want to admit
that I am a sinner. I want to repent myself in front of the true God,
and accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I can not say how happy
and free I am now, because I know the moment I chose to follow Jesus
Christ, I have walked the first step of my new life.

爱使我们相聚一起
今天我能够站在这里为大家分享我的见证,我知道这并不是靠着我自己的能力，而是因为神在我身上所做的工,和神在我内心深处的感动和奇妙的经历,我知道这是神的旨意.
如果在四年前你问我信不信有神,我会说我不信；如果在一年前你问我,我会说可能有吧,我说不清楚；如果现在你问我,我会说我信有神。
我奶奶在她很年轻时就信主了,记得在我从郑州出门到北京前,奶奶拉着我的手说:“孩子,你到了外国,也信主吧,主会给你平安和健康”。当时我只是嘴里答应说，好的。那是为了安慰奶奶，心里却在想，我是无神论者，怎么会信主呢。
04年的3月，我们一家三口在Guelph落了地，开始了我们在加拿大的移民生活。
在4月的第一个周末，我们去了教会听了冯津牧师的布道会，当时我很受感动，就在那次我和我太太当场决志信主。后来，我们就经常参加由杨牧师带领的查经班，学习神的话语，慢慢地了解了圣经的内容。但受以前在国内无神论的教育30多年的影响，我常常是用怀疑的态度和自认为“科学”的眼光来了解圣经。
04年的10月，妈妈告诉我奶奶去世的消息。我当时就哭了，妈妈说，奶奶走的很安详，就好像睡着一样没有一点痛苦的表情。这也给了我内心很大的安慰。我知道奶奶是被主接回天堂，安息主怀了。我来加拿大前奶奶和我说的话，也成了她对我最终的遗愿。
就在那年，我太太也依靠着神的大能，医好了她的腰椎间盘突出，解除了她很大的身体和内心的痛苦，她也因此受洗。可我当时心里却认为，这可能是一种巧合吧，因为她当时也在由一位中医给她用针灸治疗了一段时间了。虽然我和我太太也差不多每个周末去教会，学习圣经，和弟兄姐妹们分享见证，可我对神还总是以将信将疑的态度来看待。
来到加拿大三年后，我们在这里的生活慢慢稳定了下来。06年11月，我父母也从中国来加拿大探亲来到了这里，一家五口祖孙三代，共享天伦之乐。可是，就在07年的4月，我父亲却因患急性阑尾炎住进了Guelph总医院，因为我们当时没给我父亲买医疗保险，手术和住院的费用需要我们自己全部付出。手术前，我和我太太在父亲病床前恒切祷告，求神保护我的父亲手术顺利，也求神看顾我们全家，不致因此而让我们陷入困境。真的是感谢主，我父亲不但手术后恢复很好，而且后来医院也还减免了我们很大一部分费用，杨牧师也带领全教会的弟兄姐妹为我们全家祷告，号召大家为我们捐款，从精神上和经济上给了我们很大的支持。
在那些天，我一直都被这种关爱感动着，常常是一想到这些就泪流满面。有一件奇妙的事发生了。那天我工作空闲下来的时候在想，经过我父亲的手术这件事，我真切感受到了神的大能和大爱，正是神的爱让我们大家一起互相帮助、互相爱护。这时我脑子里就浮现出一首歌：《爱使我们相聚一起》，这歌我只记得很早前在教会唱过一次，歌词记不太准了，我想回家抽空查一下吧。就在那个星期五早上，师母来到我家，说要我准备周日的power
point，我打开她给我的歌本，立时惊呆了：她选的第一首歌就是我要找的《爱使我们相聚一起》！我想，这不再是巧合了，这是神的旨意，是主在用他特殊的方式在向我呼唤啊。
再后来有一次在教会我看了Nick的见证，他虽没有双手和双脚，但正是因为信靠着上帝的大爱和恩赐，渡过了一道道人生的苦难。在他的见证下，有十几万人决志信主，做出了我们一般健全人都很难做到的事。从他脸上洋溢出的自信，喜乐和平安的笑容，我再一次被深深感到神的大能和博爱。
回顾这几年来，杨牧师，师母和教会众多弟兄姐妹对我的关爱，神的恩光一次次的照亮我的软弱的灵魂，我对自己说，我不能再等什么了，我也不需要再等什么了，就象歌中唱的，“有了主还要什么，� |
