I received the Lord Jesus into my life in 1988. I had just finished University and started a new job and living in a new city. At the time, I was wandering and seeking something that would satify me. Whether it would be friends or entertainment, but nothing would satisfy me.

Then one day, the Lord found me. A collegue of mine spoke to me regarding the Lord and I attend a small meeting in the home. It was here that that I found real enjoyment. Enjoyment that would be eternal. I was touched on the one hand that the Lord loved me so much that He gave His own life for me. On the other hand, I saw was a group of believers, young and old that was enjoying the Lord who not only died 2000 years ago, but is able to be enjoyed by us today. He is real and He is a living God. I believed in my heart and confessed with my mouth that Jesus died for me and was resurrected for me and I received Him as my saviour.

There is a hymn that would sum up my experience of the Lord.

"Then one day He found me,
He brought me to the Church,
Became in me a deeper source,
whence living waters burst.

Jesus is my life now!"

The Lord is rich to all those who call upon Him. Seek Him and you will be satisfied.

I was raised in a Christian family. I went to church and lived a seemingly 'good' life. Yet deep inside me, a restlessness, that I could not identify, just seemed to be my lot. I did love the Lord and yet something was missing. And then I found out just what that 'missing' was. Everywhere that I had been in Christianity, the common saying of "God's will for my life" echoed loud and far, with emphasis placed on "my'. Yet not once did I hear emphasis placed on "God's will", of God's eternal purpose, His desire, of what excites Him. I thank the Lord for bringing me to the church! I discovered, that that 'missing' feeling was just God's feeling, of Him 'Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,' (Ephesians 1:9). I do not know where I would be now, if the Lord had not mercifully bought me into the church life. I will be eternally grateful to Him.
