i just recently got baptized (along with 52 others in my church)
and here is my testimony:
Janson’s Testimony
Let me introduce myself. I am Janson Chan; you may know my parents, Alfred and So-Yan. For most of my child-hood around the church I was known as the son of Alfred or So-Yan.
Without a doubt I was forced to church, because of my parents. Not only did I go to church, I also went to various VBS’. And that was where I first accepted Jesus as my personal savoir at the age of 8. But, back then I was lazy and did not fully understand the love and mercy he has over the human race. So therefore, I became disobedient, not doing devotion, not praying, and reading the bible daily (although I still attended church weekly). Many thought that since my parents are strong in faith that I too was also strong in faith, but this was wrong.
When I was a pre-teenager, my faith was so weak that I was questioning my presence at church, because I felt that I had heard all that was to be heard of church, but later I discovered from the bible that ‘man cannot fully understand God’. In children worship, I was quite a disturbance, making fun of the worship songs, talking during messages and playing tag around the church. I did these actions, because I felt that the messages from Sunday school were all the same and repetitive. Even with all my protesting, my parents kept me in church, and I’m thankful for that.
I feel that middle school really changed my life for the worst. I’ve enrolled in an extended French program for grade 7. That means that my phys ed., geography, and my history are in French. With these different classes, my marks dropped like a rock. Because of these marks I became depressed, and had suicidal thoughts, but I hung on. Then with depressions, came sin, at this time I’ve encountered some sexual sin, but I overcame it by God speaking through my parents.
If you would of met me back then you would have said that I was a joyous and carefree teenager, but inside I was suffering. This is because I boxed many of my emotions inside in. At this time I also started to go to fellowship. During these times I truly wanted and needed to commit to God and stick to him, but I just couldn’t commit to him and his teachings. At that time, I truly thought in my heart that I would wait until I’m older to become a real Christian. But as many people say- you never know what’ going to happen tomorrow, it might be the rapture, or a surprise test.
I remember George Mah, and other various individuals making sermons asking the congregation if we knew if we are saved or not. These sermons really struck me, because of my faith situation. Another thing that brought me closer to my salvation is the Youth ministry, because I could totally relate the sermons, and there is also so much more spirit in the newest ministry of my church.
So in September, I went to ‘The Basic Life Principles Seminar’. That whole week was my life altering experience. It was sort of a wake-up call from God speaking through Bill Gothard, the instructor. What struck me the most about this seminar was how much God loves us as much as we mess up ourselves, but he still loves us. No matter how much we messed up there is still a second chance. After the first day, I realized that I haven’t really committed to God and his greater will. And after the first day I re-committed my life to God and was sure of my salvation. And I thank him for the chance that I could come to him
Since that week, I’ve discovered the many blessings I have received from God, and the many blessings I have received after I was sure of my salvation. Since then I’ve found more favour with others, and I feel like that God is look after me guiding me through this wreck we call ‘life’. And since the seminar, I’ve been learning and achieving more than I ever had through school and his word.
God has called me to become in a worship team for youth ministry. And I felt that he was calling me into baptism through obedience, because of his guidance for my life. A bible verse that really related to my life is Proverbs 22:6:
Train a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not turn from it.
To end of my testimony, I want to pose a question; do you know that you have your ticket to heaven? I do. If you don’t make sure you do it RIGHT NOW! Because you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow.
and here is my testimony:
