My name is Kyhym Chen. I am an average middle schooler. I play the piano, enjoy playing video games, eating rice, and talking with the Lord regularly. My parents brought me to know Christ. The Lord was with me before I knew about Him. From my beginning to the present, God was with me and loved me whether I knew it or not. He is always guiding me to the right path with his hand. When I was little, my parents would bring me to church and read the Bible to me, slowly introducing me to Jesus and helping me know my Savior more and more.
Soon, on October 22, 2020, my Mom led me to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. This really changed my life, and slowly, I began to continue to learn and grow in Christ (Which I still am). That was when I began to think about the Lord more and more often, and I was also encouraged by someone at church to pray to God and read his word daily, which really helped me grow closer to Christ. Although I may not be fully mature in Christ yet, I continue to learn and know more about him daily. I also realized that God really was willing to answer my prayers, as when I asked the Lord, he granted them to me.
I got baptized on November 12, 2023, three years after I believed. This was when I really started my journey in Christ. It was when I started to wonder and notice new things and began to see God’s works in my daily life. One day, I started praying to God that I could bring my friends to Christ so they would be saved. A few months after praying, my request came true. With God, I was able to lead my friend, Ziqi Ma, to believe in Christ. This also let me know that the Lord always listens to me and is willing to grant my requests. God has also protected me all my life, countless times, even when I didn’t know, God kept me safe. On two occasions, I almost drowned, and the Lord kept me safe. I will never stop worshiping the Lord, as He will never give up on me. He never lets me down and will never turn around and desert me.
I have faced many doubts and challenges before, as I was taught other things such as the Big Bang Theory or evolution. But every time when I had doubts, the Lord would give me an answer – the answer that lets me know He is the one true God. Some other people have also questioned my faith before, and some friends have even started to fade away from me because of my faith. However, I will not let that stop me from worshiping the One True God. I also face many struggles, such as tests or performances. Before, they were pretty challenging to me, but then, I started to ask God for help, who actually helped me. He gave me courage for many of these challenges, letting me know that I am not alone. This also reminds me of Desmond Doss, a WW2 hero who saved many lives in the battle of Hacksaw Ridge. On the cliff where the fighting was, Desond also prayed to God for help, which God granted, keeping Desond safe and letting him save almost a hundred lives.
I continue to go to church as I can connect with the community, grow in Christ, and worship God with His people. I also continue to learn about and worship the Lord because I know that He is the One True God, who will one day come back to judge the living and the dead. Through every challenge that I will or have faced, I know that Jesus will be by my side and will never leave me. This is how the Lord has been with me faithfully all my life. Although I may not be fully mature in Christ, nor that I have a lot of wisdom yet, I continue to trust in the Lord and His plans for me.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ”
Jeremiah 29:11
I trust in Jesus as I know He will always be with me. He controls my life from my beginning to my end, and I will never stop worshiping my Lord.
This is my testimony.
我的名字是陳啟謙。我是一名普通的中學生。我擅長彈奏鋼琴和像其他青少年一樣喜歡玩電子遊戲和享受美吃。我經常透過禱告與主交談。起初，我的父母帶領我認識耶穌基督。主在我尚未認識他之前就與我同在。從我出生到如今，上帝一直與我同在並愛護我。無論我是否察覺，祂總是以祂的手引導我走向正確的道路。當我還年幼時，我的父母帶著我去教會並和我一起讀聖經；逐漸地幫助我認識耶穌基督，而且讓我更深入了解我的救主。
在2020年10月22日，我的媽媽帶領我悔改並且接受了基督作為我的主和救主。我的生活起了真正的改變，我慢慢地開始在基督裡學習和成長（至今仍在進行中）。從那時起，我也越來越頻繁地思考主耶穌和祂的教導。教會弟兄姊妹經常鼓勵我每天向上帝禱告和閱讀聖經。這一切都成為我更加親近基督的幫助。儘管我在基督中尚未完全成熟，但我每天都在學習更深地了解祂。我也意識到當我向主求告時，上帝真實地回答我的禱告並且意想不到地幫我成就我的需要。
在2023年11月12日，我信主三年後，我接受了洗禮。這是我真正開始成為基督徒的旅程。我開始思考和注意到新事物，開始看到上帝在我的日常生活中的作為。有一天，我向上帝祈禱，希望能帶領一位朋友認識耶穌基督，讓我的朋友得救。在祈禱幾個月後，我的願望實現了，藉著上帝的幫助，我的朋友馬子奇也願意悔改歸向上帝。從此之後我就知道主是聽我的禱告和願意成就我的祈求。上帝一直保護著我，無論我是否知曉，他總是保佑著我。我記得有兩次幾乎溺水，主都保佑我平安。我不會停止敬拜上帝，因為他永遠不會放棄我，永遠不會讓我失望，也永遠不會丟棄我。
我曾面對過許多懷疑和挑戰，因為這個世界教導我其他事物，如大爆炸理論和進化論。但每次我有疑問時，主都會給我答案，讓我知道祂是唯一真神。有些人曾質疑過我的信仰，甚至有些朋友因為我的信仰而逐漸疏遠。然而，我不會讓這阻止我敬拜唯一真神。我曾經面對很多挑戰，如考試或表演。以前，這些事情對我來說相當具有挑戰性。但後來，我開始向上帝求助。祂確確實實地幫助了我，還賜給我面對這些挑戰的勇氣，讓我知道我並不孤單。這讓我想起了一位二戰中的救援兵-達斯文•多斯先生。他在戰鬥的懸崖上也向上帝祈求幫助。上帝不但保守了他，還幫助他拯救了近一百條生命。
我會繼續上教會，因為我不但喜歡與社區聯繫，而且樂意與基督一同成長並與他的子民一起敬拜上帝。我也要繼續學習和愛祂，因為我知道祂是唯一真神，祂將有一天回來審判活人和死人。在我將面臨或已經面臨的每一個挑戰當中，主耶穌的應許讓我知道祂將在我身邊永不離開我。這就是主一直如此忠實地與我同在的見證。儘管我在基督裡可能還年輕，也許還沒有太多智慧，但我仍然信賴主和祂在我身上的計劃。
因為我知道我為你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念，不是降災禍的意念，要叫你們末後有指望。
耶利米書29:11
我信靠耶穌，因為我知道祂會永遠與我同在。從開始到終結祂都掌管著我的生命。我也永不停止地敬拜我的主。
這就是我的見證。
