Testimonies

Evie Doan - July 2005

Life before knowing Christ was very confusing. I did many wrong things and never really admitted them. I was rude many times -- even grouchy for no reason, and I didn’t really appreciate much of life. I prayed, went to church, sing praises like everyone else, but for me it was all a routine. I didn’t really have the belief, the trust and the faith in God. Now I have realized that God was, is, and always there for me through good and bad times.

At the age of 9 or 10 I Started to gain faith, getting stronger, and getting closer to the Lord through camps and life obstacles that I got through because of Him. And now God has put my family and me into a new test in which my father has been diagnosed with cancer in March. This has changed my life forever! But I remembered and was reminded by my aunt that God can work miracles and it’s not the end yet. After the horrid surgery I looked at my father, and in my head I was thinking that his life was going to end.

There was a time in my life in which I refused to believe in the Lord; a time when all my questions were just answered with empty promises from others. I had questions which no one but the Lord could answer. At that time, I believed that the only life that mattered to me was the life that I live in currently. I was the quintessential unbeliever – I refused to relate myself to anything that even slightly insinuated a religious meaning. I disassociated myself from any type of belief in any religion. It was hard for me to believe that there would be another life after the present one; a greater life with God. I was impervious to the teachings and the word of the Lord.

Before Realizing Christ

Before realizing Christ I felt alone and scared. I felt like living in the dark world with no one to turn to or trust. I had no faith at all! I was constantly lying to hide from getting in trouble. I held grudges that were pulling me away from God.

Before having Christ as my Saviour, my life was recluse. I didn't really have faith in anything. Things just came, and they went by. I didn't have much confidence. I didn't know who to trust. I didn't know who to go to, when I needed someone.

The fact I attended a private Christian school from Kindergarten through 5th grade is how I learned a lot about Christ. Every day I would learn more, and more about God, doing gracious, and great things for us. There was also another place for me to learn about Him. That place was called (Vietnamese Evangelical) church. Every time, I would learn even more wonderful things He did for us, and for the people in the past. I therefore, eventually, accepted Him as my Saviour. If I had any problems, I would just simply go to Him, and pray. I knew He would listen. I knew He would care.

Since having faith, trust, confidence, and believing in Christ as my Saviour, life has been pleasant, excellent, great, etc. I've had someone to go to, someone that listened to stuff that was going on, someone to trust, someone that always cared for me. Every day my faith, and love to Christ is stronger, and stronger.

Imagine this: humidity you can cut through, squatty potties, insects the size of…well, let’s just say insects should not be that big, bug bites from these massive creatures, culture shock, and a discouraging language barrier.

God, why am I here? I don’t speak their language. They hardly speak mine. How am I supposed to share the Gospel when I can’t say anything beyond “hello” and “thank you?”
