CCA Chapel
Jin shared his testimony with us. He told us that he grew up in India and gave his life to Christ at the age of 14. He said that Christians are very few in India. Jin didn't think that God had a plan for his life; however, God showed Jin otherwise.
Just as God looked over David in the wilderness alone while he was watching his father's sheep, God watched over Jin. Jesus became Jin's best friend. Jesus will never leave you or forsake you. He is always there, through good times and bad. He give you hope.
Three years ago Jin was diagnosed with cancer. Jesus walked with Jin through this difficult time. God told Jin not to be afraid because He was with him. When you give your life to Christ and follow Him, He is always with you. He can change you, so let Him know that you love Him and that you want to know Him by reading your Bible and praying.
