陳雄燊的浸禮見證
當我未認識神的時候,我覺得生存在這世界是漫無目的和虛無的,因為我並不懂怎樣去體諒人、寬恕人。我生活在一個個人的空間,就像一個不可連線的個人遊戲,是孤單的,永遠都不能有另一位「玩家」參與你的遊戲。
幾星期前,我的同學Lycan邀請我到教會參與聚餐。初時,我都不知道是什麼一回事,只是抱著結識朋友的心態去。漸漸地,神的信息慢慢地進入我的意息裏,尤其當一位弟兄--基賜向我解釋神的意義的時候,我發覺每個人生存著,神都會祝福他、保佑他。在那時候,我覺得不再孤獨,神一直與我同在。
當我相信了神以後,我改變了對生命的看法。我們做錯事不要緊,神都會寬恕我們,所以我要寬恕做錯事的人,亦希望人們能寬恕我做錯的事。自此以後,我會學習做好一切,遵循神的意思,還要常常祈禱,這樣才能得到神的眷顧。

Testimony by Chan Hung-sang (translation)

Before I got to know God, I thought that living in the world was purposeless or in vain, because I did not know how to understand and forgive people.
I used to live in a personal space. It was like playing a personal game which had no connection with others. It was a lonely game where no other ‘player’ could join in.
Several weeks ago, my school friend, Lycan, invited me to a party held at church. Initially, I did not know what it was all about; I just went there trying to make new friends. Gradually, God’s messages entered my heart, especially when a brother, Kei Chi, explained God to me, I found that every person’s life was blessed by God and protected by God. At that moment, I did not feel lonely again because God had always been with me.
After I believed in God, I have changed my views about life. It does not matter if we have done something wrong because God will forgive us, so we have to forgive those people who have done the wrong things. I also hope that people will forgive me for the things that I have done wrong. From now on, I will learn to do my best to follow God’s will and keep praying, therefore I will get the blessing from God.

在學校中,每天都要雙手合十,默默低頭的去祈禱。慢慢地,我開始忘記了祈禱的真正意義,只希望快些完成禱告。在一些倫理、宗教課上,老師說了一些有關神的事情,使我們知道祂的確存在;例如:祂如何創天做地,如何派遣祂的兒子來到世上幫助世人。我認識這個神,我知道祂所行的神蹟,也想更加了解祂。
平時的生活,我們為了一樣東西很努力地工作,但是我們未必知道自己存在的價值。雖然我們為自己的未來、目標而努力,但是我們沒有百份百的信心可以達到自己的目標。我現在知道只有信靠主,我們才可以有平安,喜樂和信心。
自我來到這個教會後,我開始了解更多有關神的事情,我也知道了這位才是我可以信靠、可以倚賴的一位神。由我決定信主的時候開始,我覺得自己的生命變得不同了。雖然我還是以前的我,但我的生命不再是以前那樣由我一個人控制,我想走就走、站就站,而是多了神來幫助我、提點我,使我可以成長。我也明白現在的我,不再是自己一個人孤軍作戰,而是有神在我旁邊照顧提點我,也有千千萬萬的弟兄姊妹幫助我,令我可以在神的蔭庇下,接受天父送給我們的永生。

Testimony by David Wong (translation)

In school every day I put my palms together and bow down to pray. Gradually, I began to forget the real meaning of praying. I only wanted to finish the prayer as quickly as possible.
The teacher has taught us something about God in the moral and religion classes, for example, how God created the Earth, how He sent His only Son to the world to save people. I know this God, and I know the miracles performed by Him, but I want to know Him more.
In our daily life, we usually work very hard for something, but we may not know the value of our existence. Although we will work very hard for our future and our goals, we do not have 100% confidence that we can achieve our goals. Now I know that only by relying on the Lord can we get peace, joy and confidence.
Since I came to this church, I have got to know more about God. I know that this is the God that I can believe in and depend on. The moment I decided to believe in Jesus, I found that my life has changed. Though I am still what I am, my life is no longer controlled by myself alone, as if I could do whatever I liked before, God will help and teach me to grow. Now I also understand that I am not alone to fight the battle, I have God beside me to take care of me. More than that, I have thousands and thousands of brothers and sisters to help me, so that I can receive the eternal life given by our Heavenly Father under God’s shelter.
王志富的浸禮見證
我對主的認識,其實由小學就開始。那時覺得「主」或「神」是很遙遠的,甚至捉摸不到。
我到了恩禧堂後,這種感覺開始有了改變。其實當初我是去菲律賓人的崇拜,因為我媽媽是菲律賓人,所以我不抗拒參加他們的崇拜。之後,恩禧堂的傳道人Kevin介紹我參加青少年的聚會,我便開始對主有更大的認識。我也在那裡認識了很多朋友。
在我未信主之前,我有很多想不通的東西和不開心的事。我嘗試自己解決或者對人發脾氣,我不會原諒那些取笑我家人的人。但現在我會原諒他們,他們取笑我是「賓仔」我都選擇一笑置之。此外,我多了一個傾訴的對象,那就是耶穌基督。祂令我不再轉彎抺角,令我懂得原諒。我要感謝主!

Testimony by Lycan Wong (translation)
In fact I have known about God since I was in primary school. At that time I found that the ‘Lord’ or the ‘God’ is far away from me, or even unreachable.
After I have come to Jubilee Church, I found that my perception about God has changed. In fact, in the beginning I went to a Filipino service because my mother is a Filipino, so I did not object to going to their service. Afterwards, Kevin, the pastor of the Jubilee Church, recommended a youth activity to me, I then began to know more about God. I also got to make many friends there.
Before I believed in Jesus, there were many things that I did not understand and I was upset about many things. I tried to solve problems on my own, or vented my anger on other people. I would not forgive those people who laughed at my family. But, now I will forgive them. When they tease me by calling me a ‘Filipino boy’, I just dismiss it with a laugh. Moreover, now I have one more listener, Jesus Christ, who has made me open myself and know how to forgive people. I want to give thanks to Jesus!!!
