The Church in Palmerston North                  TESTIMONIES

I Have Found My Eternal Destiny

I am from Sibu, Sarawak, East Malaysia. I grew up in the church, attending many kinds of meetings such as children’s meetings, young people’s meetings, group meetings, Lord’s Table meetings, prayer meetings, wedding meetings, funeral meetings, conferences and trainings. I began to experience Christ when I was young and till now I continue experiencing this living person within me. I was baptised on 30th November 1986 in the church in Sibu. That baptism was very meaningful to me, I can remember every moment of the baptism, how the Lord led me into His kingdom.

When I was 14 years old, my parents sent my older brother and me to New Zealand to further our studies. At that time I was very worried about the change of environment, the change of my church life. But, praise the Lord for His sovereign arrangement. Although the number of believers meeting with the church in Palmerston North was small, I realized that the Lord gave that situation to me so that I would learn to function in the meetings. While I was in Malaysia I did not have much opportunity to function, but after migrating to New Zealand I did.

As the days went by I continued walking the path that He prepared for me. My life became busy with the Lord during my university life. Every evening I would meet with the brothers and sisters. I thought that I was fully occupied by the Lord, until I joined the Full-Time Training in Hamilton. I now realize that only in the training I can fully enjoy and be occupied with Him. This is my second semester in the training, and I really can experience Christ in every situation. He is really the One I need. In the training I have seen how I was lacking the experience of Christ while I was in University. I thought then that my destiny was to wait for the Lord’s second coming and that I did not have to worry about doing anything else. But thank the Lord for the training where I have come to see that I should not just wait and do nothing; instead I should be one working together with Christ. As a lover of Christ I need to share His work. By enjoying the Lord in this way, eventually we will become the New Jerusalem. P.C.
