New Believer

Mike

1. Tell me about your journey to faith in Christ?
I first I joined Global Cafe which is the event for international students and organized by some churches and they have bible studies. I was attracted by their teaching and by the bible. So they encouraged me to read the bible and that was the start of my journey. All of these things were very important in getting to know God.

2. What helped you the most to step over the line and make the commitment?
Being involved with an Asian outreach ministry who encouraged me, talked to me, answered my questions and clearing the obstacles out of the way in my faith to Christ.

3. What has been the best part of becoming a Christ follower for you?
I have less control of my own life, which means less anxiety and I have assurance in my day to day life position. I don't need to worry if I do the right thing, I know I always have the chance to correct my errors as long as I have faith in him and also I have more assurance.

4. What has been the most challenging part of following Christ?
Making decisions, I was hesitant to make some recent decisions and I made the wrong decision but God shut that door and opened the right one for me. I have a great counselor which is the bible and the Holy Spirit so I'm happy to know that He helps me.

5. What do you think is helping you grow the most in your faith?
I think fellowship with other Christians is the most important thing and also reading the Bible.

6. What advice do you have for me in helping others like you to grow in their faith?
I think spending time is really important also being patient and continuing to talk to people who aren't ready to accept Christianity. Don't push them too much before they're not ready. First be friends and hang out with them. Then they will open up their heart and their lives to you much easier. Always have a good attitude in the way you treat people.

7. What's your deepest desire when it comes to your relationship with Jesus?
I want Him to come into my heart deeper and give me a stronger faith. Also if He could reveal himself to me in an overwhelming way so that I could have more in Him.
