Hello everyone! I am Francer. I have been to Elim Church for about two years. I was a Buddhist before. In fact, I studied in Buddhist school and my sister was a Buddhist too.
How come I became a Christian? About two years ago, I felt big pressure in my work and I was very unhappy. I wanted to look for a solution. By that time, my ex-colleague, Carol, invited me to join the 7th Alpha Course. Alpha Course is for not-yet believers to learn more about the beliefs of Christianity. Therefore, I told myself, “ just try! “
After the first session of this course, I liked this church very much. Here is just like a big family and I didn’t have any feeling that I was a stranger here, even for the very first time. And most importantly, something was very strong here, I could feel it, which I didn’t have before. That was “ peace “ and “ joy”!
When I went to the temple before, what I could get was “ calm “. But from the praise and worship time in the Alpha course, what I could get was “ peace “ and “ joy “ which was much stronger than “ calm “. They are totally different. That is why after I completed the course, I kept coming to cell group and Sunday service.
In these two years, God had helped me a lot and His grace was sufficient for me. I prayed that I wanted to change to another department. This happened within only two months’ time. I was much happier than before! Although my company is now much bigger than before, and the workload is much bigger than before, I can handle this very well with a positive attitude too!
Because I remember what the Bible says,
“ Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. “ (Matthew 11:28)
Therefore, no matter what problem or difficulty I encountered, I prayed. No matter what burden I have, I gave it to Jesus. So, naturally, I can be freed from those burdens and pressure!
I am so happy that I can know Jesus. I was baptized in April 2010 and became a real Christian! I am very glad that I can be here and share my testimony with YOU!
Finally, I hope if you do not know Jesus yet, you can come and try to know more about Him. So we can share the peace and joy together!!
THANK YOU LORD!!

大家好！我叫Francer, 我返咗以琳大約兩年啦！
原本我係一個佛教徒，因為我中學係讀佛教學校嘅，而我大家姐亦係佛教徒。咁點解我會信咗耶穌呢？
其實大約喺兩年前，我响工作上有好大壓力，個人好唔開心，好想尋求一個解決方法。咁啱我以前嘅同事Carol邀請我參加第7屆啟發課程。個課程其實係俾我哋了解同認識基督教信仰嘅，咁我就嘗試吓接觸教會啦！
當我返咗第一堂啟發課程後，我就鍾意咗呢度，因為呢度嘅感覺好似一個大家庭咁，一啲都唔陌生。而且我响啟發課程當中有好大感受，而呢種感受係以前响佛教裏面無嘅，就係『喜樂』！
以前去寺院得到嘅，只係平靜，而我返啟發課程唱歌敬拜得到嘅，係平安同喜樂。呢種感受大好多，係完全唔同嘅。所以我完成啟發課程後都一直keep住返小組同主日祟拜。
响這兩年幾裏面，神好保守我，對我有好多恩典。响工作方面，我都有祈禱想轉去另一個部門，跟住唔使兩個月就好快轉成咗啦！之後無咩工作壓力，個人都開心咗好多！就算公司搬大咗好多，工作量亦大好多，我都可以好積極咁面對……….
因為我記得聖經裏面講…..
『凡勞苦擔重擔的人，可以到我這裡來，我就使你們得安息。』( 馬太福音 11:28 )
所以我有咩都祈禱，有咩重擔都交俾耶穌，個人自然無咩壓力啦！哈哈！
我好開心有機會認識主耶穌，所以我喺今年四月受浸，成為一個真正的基督徒……亦都好開心今日可以响度同大家分享我嘅見證…….
最後我希望未認識主耶穌嘅您，都能夠嘗試去認識，一齊分享呢份平安同喜樂！
“感謝主”！
Francer
