Recently I asked a short term worker from the US to the
Philippines how she came to Christ? She thought for a moment and in a boring
tone said, "I don't really know. I've always been religious but about two
years ago I decided to get serious about God." The conversation then ended
as she changed the subject.
That same day I asked a little worker at the guesthouse, where
we are staying while in the Philippines, the same question. In the midst of her
work she immediately answered very enthusiastically, "Oh, it was a long
five-month period. Our family in the providence was very poor, and I had to
work as a young girl to help support the family. The wife of the boss became a
Christian and started a Bible study for the workers. I did not want to go, but to
keep my job I thought I had to go. We studied the Bible April, May, June, July,
and August. The Lord began to open my heart to the truth of the Gospel through
His Word and on September 25, I trusted Christ as Savior!" She glowed as
she spoke and almost bounced up and down! Now that is a testimony that draws
others to the Truth.
How is yours?
