December 7, 2008     Baptismal Ceremony for Ms. Kouping Tian, testimony

---

I came from Huaian, Chiangsu province, China. I had not known the God's existence in the world. I had never been to the church located on the back of my house. Having seen that many people came there, it was very unexpected for me that those kinds of things happened.

I came to Japan on March 16, 2006. I was got depressed soon because of homesickness. I felt that I was not happy, and was always flustrated. I got acquainted with Sister Ping Wang here. She loves the God very much. On matter how busy she was, she went to church on Sundays. One day, Sister Ping Wang led me to the church. I was really restless to hear the God's words at first. I could not sit remaining peacefully, then I was a bit sleepy or felt discomfort. I told all what I thought to her after we had returned. Sister Ping Wang told me that Jesus loves us to wash up our sin on the cross. I was very moved to hear that. Then, I went to church again. At that time, I had the different feelings for the church compared to the first visit. I felt as if I had been in my house. In addition, I was sometimes impressed by the inspiring stories. I was taught so that I might understand much more. I want to study the God's words more. I had not believed in God when I came here. Sometimes I casted doubt on God, then I did not want to come here. To hear the miracle story of Sister Ping Wang's husband who had got illness, I could know the God's blessing. I realized that the existence of God was clear. I was very impressed.

Then, I recognized the greatness of God. Hereafter, I will trust in God ardently. What scripture I have remained in my mind since last year is John 20:31. "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; ant that believing ye might have life through his name."^*1 I will keep this scripture in my mind forever.

I wish that God shall stand in my side, and I will swear to God whom everlasting child I am.

Amen

*1 John 20:30-31

And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; ant that believing ye might have life through his name.
