Testimony of Alex

The following is an article written by Alex in 1994 for the Knoxville Chinese Church Annual Book.
 It is his testimony:

Thank You Lord!

I was not born into a Christian family, but I met Miriam who gave me the gospel tract "Have you heard of the Four Spiritual Laws?". People would give me gospel tracks, I accepted them but would quietly throw them in the trash. I remember hearing people getting saved say "I found it! " but like Nicodemus, I did not understand the words "born again". Because of God's grace, Miriam asked me to read the Four Spiritual Laws when I could read it quietly without distraction. I got SAVED the night I read the tiny powerful gospel tract. My outlook in life changed completely. I had joy and inner peace. My group of friends changed. I enjoyed reading the Bible everyday. God provided me friends that helped me grow spiritually. Friends, who had many trials and blessings in their lives, were living testimonies of God's awesome power and love. I have seen God completely heal people with serious illnesses through prayer. I have seen God stop the wind and rain for approximately five minutes so that a missionary plane (who flew in by faith despite the storm) could have just enough time to land and pick up a Christian patient. Yes, God is Creator of all things visible and invisible. He is a powerful living God.

Recently, I had surgery of a chronic problem due to scarring from previous surgery. It was difficult but I thank God for all your prayers because this gives me the opportunity to share Jesus Christ with my unsaved sister in the Northeast. I was able to answer her questions about Christianity. I cannot save my sister but God can and He will in His own time and place as He promised the jailer in Acts16:31.


Now Alex and Miriam and the boys are enduring a terrible storm and it is only the strength that comes from our Lord, and your prayers,  that is sustaining them. Please continue to pray fervently for healing for Miriam and for encouragement daily for Alex and the boys.

As Alex wrote in his testimony 17 years ago, our God is a God of miracles and we pray , expecting a miracle for Miriam.

God Bless,
Sally
