“For in him you have been enriched in every way-in all your speaking and in all your knowledge-because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.” (1 Corinthians 1:5-6)
Here I am sharing my testimony about how Jesus works in my life which touches me very closely during the dive in camp. I got saved in November 2006 after I joined the Desaria LG and go to church weekly. Before I came to Malaysia I had no idea about God, although I read Bible in my early age which I was considering it as a fairytale story book. When I met the LG people first time and they shared the gospel with me, my first impression was how come those people are so naïve, God only shows up in the fairytale. Driven by curiosity, I tried to follow Bee Sean to church. I was amazed by seeing the people in church as united as a huge family, and love is fulfilling in the whole house.
To be honest, the first half a year I did not totally open my heart to God that made me didn’t have a good relationship with Him. I couldn’t even feel the happiness of salvation and being doubt about Him sometimes. However, He loves me so much that He puts me under the shadows of His wings and gave me a perfect year that all the things were going over expectedly well. Hallelujah!!
According to my personal experience, I have to say that if God doesn’t takes control of our life, then we will be in a dangerous situation as we stay in a world that it’s full of selfish desire and lure. At the time I confessed myself as an Christian but still doing something we are not supposed to do and going somewhere we are not supposed to be there. Praise God that He didn’t give up on me and save me from an extremely risky situation.
After that, I tried really hard to spend time reading the Bible and praying for spiritual growth. I always tell people that I spent almost one year to just have the joy of being saved. It always reminds me that being with Him is not a simple work; it’s building with all my soul and faith.
2 weeks before dive in camp, I had an unhappy argument with the campus international service center that made me want to leave Malaysia. And the worst thing was due to their mistakes, my visa was going to expired in a short time. I was very worried and dejected until I could not even sleep at night.
I came to dive in camp along with all those worries in mind, certainly with a broken heart. The messages that pastor shared strongly provoked me - Lost identity? Desperate? The meaning of life? Dreams?
Suddenly all those things that made me upset just blow up. It was also the very first time that I felt I wanna submit my entire life to God - all my dreams, all my future, all my desires – and truly being sold out for Him!!! Then I kneeled down and started to cry, my tears could hardly stop at that time, felt like there were two waterfalls appears on my face. I’m that kind of person who never cries in the public because crying is such a shame and shyness for me. But when the Holy Spirit comes and releases you, you can do nothing but crying. When the leaders came along and prayed for me, I cried more and more. I kept saying sorry to God for all the things I have done before and thank him for never left me and saved a sinful person like me. I then clearly felt that God pet my head saying that all the difficult things I have gone through were made by Him, because He knew that I was able to handle. And he would never give me a test that I could not handle. How great and sweet this love is! His love completed me from a sinner to a believer.
Although the way to reach my dream and future are still far away, in God, there is no worry at all. Seek Him and follow Him. Right now, in this moment, my testimony is just to encourage you and want you to have the same blessing as what I have!!!
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

Ying Hui's Testimony
Hello to everyone, my name is Ying Hui. Just a couple days ago, I have made a very important decision in my life, which is to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and be the part of ECF. Here is a story of mine that I would like to share with all of you:
I was invited to take part in the Dive in Camp last year, it was awesome that I got to observe on how the Christians pray to God, to learn more about the Words of God, and I felt encouraged every time during the pastors’ preaching sessions. However, all I wanted at that time was to remain as a distant as I was there just to gain knowledge and to discover more about other religion.
Eversince then, I have been attending Life Groups and sometimes would attend ECF Damansara. The very first time when I really felt that God has really created miracle in my life was on the last year’s November. I remembered there was once when Pastor Shawn taught about Forgiveness during a life group meeting. It changed my view totally on how I should deal with others, especially towards my ‘enemies’. Since then, I learnt the actual purpose and the need of saying ‘sorry’ to others. So the main thing I did when I returned to my hometown, was to meet up with a girl whom I ever hated the most in my life, get her to talk and finally I ask for her forgiveness. I told her that we should forgo the past, and rebuild a new friendship from there onwards. To me, it was never possible to make such a move but amazingly, God had made it possible!
Still, I chose to deny the existence of God, and continued my days without having Him in my mind. As time passes, here came another Dive in Camp. This time, I brought another friend with me, with a hope that both of us would learn and gain from it. It was on the very first night when I could actually sense the existence of God that He was there with us, when we were praying and calling for the Holy Spirit. Uncontrollably tears were dropping out and I knew that God is real! This was the very first time for I wanted God so much that I could no longer deny His existence. Till the second night, the same feeling arouse again that I finally stood up and wanted to know Jesus Christ. However, I did not take the final step to accept Christ at that time, as there were still doubts and worries in my mind.
But God never gave up His hope on me. In fact, He answered my prayers and convinced me that He is always there for me. Not only that, God also provides me with the ability to reach out to others, to encourage and support them when they have problems or feeling depressed. I feel the great changes in myself that from a negative and pessimistic person I have turned to be a more positive minded person, thanks to God. I decided to make that step of faith by informing my mum about my decision and at the same time, ask for permission to attend church. My family agrees to that. Praise God. So, I informed Nai Lin and Carissa about my decision …. And they prayed together with the sinners prayer.
Now, I have finally decided to accept Heavenly Father as my Lord, Jesus as my Savior, and the Holy Spirit as my Helper in life. This is only the beginning of my journey in getting to know Him and there are still lots for me to learn. I am really blessed and thanks to the people who have encouraged and led me into this journey. Sincerely I am thankful to everyone in this church and may God bless all of us here!
