Parents Received Christ On Mother's Day
I was born again in New Creation Church more than two decades ago. When I first broke the news to my dad, he threatened to disown me. Though we eventually reconciled, my dad remained antagonistic towards Christianity.
Over the years, I sought to bring my parents to church, but all the attempts ended in huge disappointments. As a result, I shied away from bringing them again.
However, as Mother’s Day was approaching this year, I felt a prompting to bring my parents to the Mandarin service. I remembered Pastor Prince shared that in The Third Day, we can expect spiritual revival and a greater anointing for evangelism. So, I thought this could really be a special year for my parents to come to know Jesus.
Still, I was haunted by memories of those failed attempts, so I sought the Lord regarding what I should do. One night, I received the words, “At Your word, I will let down the net.” I recognised these were the words spoken by Peter, who toiled all night and caught nothing. But at the word of Jesus, he let his net down and caught many fish. I realised then that the Lord was telling me to bring my parents for the service and to be obedient to what He had said at the start of the year through Pastor Prince—that 2025 will be a special year for evangelism.
The next day, I called my mum to invite her to the Mother’s Day Mandarin service and said that Dad could come along too, so we could have lunch after the service. I was very surprised that she agreed so readily!
On the day of the service, everything went relatively smoothly. Towards the end, Pastor Mark gave an altar call. I turned to my mum and asked if she would like to receive Christ and to my amazement, she said yes and raised her hand to join in the salvation prayer.
After the prayer, we went to the Connect Point. While there, I met one of the Chinese Ministry pastors, and introduced my parents to her. When she heard that my dad had not received Jesus, she began sharing the gospel with him, prayed for his health, and showed him some of the resources in the welcome pack. Slowly, my dad became more open. And when the pastor asked if he would like to receive the gift of salvation, he responded with an “Amen” in agreement!
When he said that, my dad broke into a beautiful smile which I had not seen for a long time. I am just so thankful to the Lord for saving my household. Truly, He has made everything beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
