Received Christ And Experienced Career Guidance And Peace In The Family
I am a foreigner (from China) and had been working in Singapore for a few years. About a year ago, I was struggling with depression and chronic insomnia. Then, one day, a colleague invited me to New Creation Church for the Christmas service. Although the service was wonderful, I didn’t return the following Sunday.
However, I had left my contact details with a leader at the Connect Point. Later, someone from the church reached out and encouraged me to attend the first service of 2024. That day, Pastor Prince preached about Eutychus, and I remember thinking I didn’t want to “fall from the third storey,” but I still wasn’t sure what to believe.
I decided to call my mom, who has been a believer for decades and shared with her my experience. After our conversation, I decided to attend church weekly. I also joined the Grace Discovery classes where many Bible verses were shared. Initially, it felt overwhelming, but surprisingly, my sleep started to improve significantly.
A few weeks later, after a Sunday service, I picked up a salvation card at the Connect Point. For the first time, I prayed the salvation prayer. In that moment, it felt as if the air around me had become sweet.
Shortly after, my work visa was rejected. I felt like God had closed a door, and I couldn’t understand why. But I remembered a sermon by Pastor Gabriel on the Gospel Partner app, where he encouraged the congregation to keep thanking God even when things don’t go as planned. This time, I was able to say yes to trusting God.
It dawned on me that I had always wanted to pursue further studies. So, I started preparing my applications. I was also connected to a care group that prayed for me and encouraged me throughout the process.
Praise God, everything went smoothly, and I was accepted into one of the top three business schools in France to pursue my master’s degree!
Not only that, I recently brought my parents to Singapore for a visit. They were thrilled to attend service with me. What was amazing is that earlier in the year, I had a huge argument with my dad. But at some point, I realised that there were no more quarrels in our family.
It’s been less than a year since I came to New Creation Church, and my life has been completely transformed. Pastor Prince once said that when Jesus comes into your life, be ready to be lifted up. Now, I experience God’s favour every day, and I am truly blessed by His goodness!
