Jonathan Wong
My name is Jonathan, and I am currently a 2nd-year college student. I knew about Jesus from my parents at a young age, which is a true blessing to me as I was able to experience Jesus at an earlier stage of life. I go to church weekly with my parents and have been going before I could even walk or talk!

Hi, my name is Evelina, and I am currently in 5th grade. I play the piano and viola, and I absolutely adore animals. I come from a large family of five sisters.
I learned about Jesus by attending church regularly with one of my sisters.
Rhiannon Tse-Harris
Hello! My name is Rhiannon. I’m a 10th grader who’s currently attending AHS (Alameda High School). I enjoy being active a lot.
At first, I didn’t understand why I would go to church. I simply went, because my best friend was there. But as I continued coming to church, I enjoyed listening to the lessons about the miracles that were performed by Jesus.
Airi Makino
Hi there! My name is Airi, and I’m in 5th grade. I go to LME and love to eat, sleep, and hang out in my room.
So, how did I get to know God? Well, my mom used to go to Three Crosses, but I didn’t go with her. Later on, my friend Adora and her family took me to the Church of God in Oakland, and that’s where I was introduced to God and made some great friends.

When I was little, my mom took me to church, and that’s how I learned about God. At first, I didn’t really like going to church. It was kind of boring to me. But it became more enjoyable as I got to know the people there and started to understand the messages.
Justin Huang
My name is Justin, and I’m in 8th grade. I love playing video games and volleyball.
My parents have been taking me to church since I was a baby, and I’ve always enjoyed growing up in church. But it was during a VBS in the summer of 2016 when I accepted Jesus as my savior.
