your testimonies

evangelized and become

believers.

 

 

(Prisilla's testimony)

 

 

 

When I was 10,

I received the Lord

as my Savior right after

my father passed away.

 

 

 

One day when I was

a teenager who

had good fellowship

with the Lord,

 

 

 

at the age of 17,

my mother pursuade me

that it was not good

to have two religions

in one family.

 

 

 

At that time,

she was a Buddhist

and I was forced to

 give up my faith.

 

 

 

I knelt to the Lord

and prayed earnestly

that I would be sure

to return to the Lord

in my proper times.

 

 

 

After leaving God

the Father, I was

thirsty spritually

and exhausted,

 

 

 

being without any

satisfaction in my life,

 

 

 

and I felt I was a person

covered with inner

wounds all over.

 

 

 

I spent my youth

in an unstable state

through my college

and working life until

I decided to get married.

 

 

 

Even though making

a promise to return to God,

I didn't still look to

 

 

 

God and finally

I came to get married

to a man who didn't

believe in Jesus.

 

 

 

On the day

I had a blind date

with him,

 

 

 

I was sorry to hear

from him that his mother

was sick for some years.

 

 

 

After the blind date,

I dated him several times,

and one day I visited

his parents with him.

 

 

 

Seeing his mother

lying on her bed,

 

 

 

I felt compassion

for each one of them,

including him, and

from that day on,

 

 

 

he who was in such

a difficult situation

lingered around

my mind.

 

 

 

Probably it was

because the faith

I had in my girlhood

was kept as a seed

in my heart.

 

 

 

Three months after

the blind date, he

proposed to me.

 

 

 

After thinking it over,

I told my mother about

my decision to marry him,

and she finally allowed me

to get married to him.

 

 

 

 

I had Christian thoughts

that had permeated

through my childhood,

 

 

 

but because

I got married in the

wandering period,

 

 

 

I lived under the

heavy burden of the

environment for about

three years, losing the

light of faith.

 

 

 

Since I, who was

living away from the Lord,

was not born again,

 

 

 

I still had to live

a lonely life.

 

 

 

I gave birth to children,

quit my job, and took

over all the housework.

 

 

 

And three years

of raising children

 

 

 

and taking care of a sick

mother-in-law made me

totally burnt-out.
