Testimony

Life before Knowing the Lord:
Before I truly came to know the Lord, I was living in sin. Although my parents brought me to church when I was still young, I did not genuinely understand the Word of God. Instead, I chose to follow the ways of the world.

As a young person, I became reckless and easily fell into sin. I had no fear in doing things that were displeasing to God. The influence of bad company and unhealthy friendships slowly pulled me away from the will of the Lord, and I lived according to my own desires.

How I Came to Know the Lord:
During my youth, I began to truly seek and know the Lord. One day, I joined a youth activity at church. At first, I simply observed what they were doing, especially in the area of music. I saw how they played instruments and how joyful they were as they served the Lord. In my heart, a desire was stirred-1 wanted to experience that kind of joy and purpose as well.

Transformation in My Life:
Because of that experience, I started to pray and asked the Lord to change my life. I asked Him about His plans for me and sincerely offered myself to be used for His glory. Truly, the Lord answered my prayers. He transformed my heart and redirected my life.

My Life at Present:
Today, I am serving as one of the musicians in our church, and I find great joy in worshiping and serving the Lord through music. My relationship with God continues to grow, and my family and I are now united and faithfully serving Him together.

Thanksgiving and Praise:
I am deeply thankful for the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord in my life. Truly, the Lord is
good, and His grace endures forever.

All praise and glory belong to His Holy Name!
