Coming from a non-Christian family, I was only exposed to Christianity when I started attending ACS (Junior) and heard about Jesus through chapel and morning devotions. I remember Pastor Barnabas Chong preaching about Jesus every week, and we also used to have Fun Time where we would watch VeggieTales and sing and dance to Christian songs. I never grew up with these things at home, so I found it fun and exciting. More importantly, as I listened to stories from the Bible and different people talk about their faith, I became intrigued in this God whom I could pray to anytime and who loved me so much that he died for me.
Some relatives invited my family to visit Barker Road Methodist Church (BRMC) a couple years later, and this is where I began to attend Sunday School and Youth Ministry. I began to learn more about God and the Bible, although it still felt very conceptual and I had a lot of doubts. Eventually, it was at a Youth Camp in 2011 where I finally accepted Christ as my God and Saviour. In a life that previously felt meaningless and full of despair, I suddenly found so much comfort and joy in knowing the God of all creation loves and cares for me. And once I decided to follow Jesus, there has been no turning back! It was the beginning of my relationship with God—one where I continue to find my source of comfort and strength, of joy and hope.
