2008年1月11日，我如愿受洗。好朋友们来到教会观礼，接着聚会庆祝。我非常非常开心。感谢主！ 

我的三分钟简短受洗见证如下，希望对朋友们有所帮助。由于时间有限，不能详述细节，以后有机会再写。 

After six years, I have reached the point that I know God and trust Him enough to put myself into His hands. I love God as He is. All I want is to be closer to God because He is so good. In Jesus, I have real joy in my heart and peace of mind. 

I came from China and had hardly any Christian knowledge before I came to Canada. I went to church in 2003 because I got curious when a guy told me he had a PERSONAL relationship with God. A few months later I became busy and stopped going. But God didn’t leave me while I was away. He arranged Christians around helping me learn about him. I actually grew through the discussions.

I was so far away from God that I never could imagine being a Christian. I thought I must first settle all the doubts as well as make sure I can do the things God wants us to do. Back then, it seems almost impossible. When I prayed to God, I asked Him to show me He is real in any way and if He guided me I would not resist. Since then lots of amazing things happened. I still have the questions but my heart was changed by God. I became humble and obedient. I was really connected to God at the end of 2006 

Soon after I came to XXChurch in 2007, strangely I had this feeling that I would certainly be a Christian eventually, I was not there yet, but I would be there. And I was not anxious at all. 

Then one day at the end of 2007 I was sure I wanted to be baptized. I didn’t get there through the way I expected at all. God made it happen in His own way, which I have no idea how, and with the opposite order. I believed in Him and learnt to trust first, and then he showed his work on me. Thus I figured out what faith was. We sometimes have to make our first move. It is like the Israelites [Isereilaiz] at the sea with the Egyptians behind them. They walked into the ocean. There were no signs of how God was going to support them. The first steps were in the water but when they continued with faith, at that moment, the sea split.  

Talking about Grace, I am grateful whenever I remember it is not only me who looked for God but also and more it is God who drew me close to Him. Grace is given to us because God loves us, not because of our goodness or efforts. 

Today I am ready to declare proudly to the world that I belong to Jesus and have started the journey following Him. I am all excited and full of joy.  

Thank you, my heavenly Father.

I want to finish with one of my favorite scriptures: 

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Praise Lord!
