Brother Received Christ; Seed Of Salvation Sown In The Hearts Of Loved Ones
When I first received Christ, I was excited to share the news with my family. But they scolded me and forbade me from going to church. For years, I attended church in secret to avoid their rejection. Over time, my family fell apart—my father left, and my oldest brother moved out. Although my mother, second brother, and I lived together, we were like strangers.
Some time ago, I chose to be planted in church, started serving, and joined a Varsity care group. By then, I had lost the hope of believing God for my family’s salvation. At that time, I barely spoke to my brothers and was constantly fighting with my mother. But I’m so thankful for my care group leader and church friends who stood in faith with me. When I heard Pastor Prince’s message on The Third Day about the revival of dreams and salvations, I began to hope again.
Right before Chinese New Year, my oldest brother—whom I had not seen in years—returned home. We had a great conversation, and I experienced intensified favour with my brothers. I even shared how God had been working in my life and invited them to our Chinese New Year celebration service. To my surprise, they said yes, and even brought my mother along!
During worship, I heard my mother praying, asking God to bless our family. My oldest brother also teared up. When Pastor Mark shared the gospel through Chinese characters and history, my mother’s face lit up as she is from China. I believe a seed has been sown in their hearts.
A few weeks later, I invited my second brother to our youth service. Before the service, I had a vivid vision of him raising his hand during the salvation call. I dismissed it, knowing he’s introverted and would never do that.
But when Pastor Daniel led the salvation call, I opened my eyes and saw my brother raising his hand—he said yes to Jesus! That day, our relationship was restored, and we had an amazing conversation after service.
I know now that it is just a matter of time for the rest of my family members to be saved. I’m beyond blessed to be planted in the best church, under pastors who faithfully preach the gospel. All glory to Jesus!
