Faith Story by Jovan Shim
在2022年之前，我还不确认上帝是我的个人救主。我的信仰之旅开始于一种强烈的好奇心，通过阅读圣经、祷告和敬拜，我开始认识上帝。
随着对上帝认识的加深，我愿意尝试为祂服事，尽管最初有些犹豫。现在，我在creative team中参与周日礼拜的摄影工作，并在Youth方面担任幕后工作、弹奏乐器和招待的角色。
服事主让我与上帝的关系更亲密，我很感恩有朋友如 Nicxon、Michael、Max 等鼓励我加入creative team和Youth。通过服事，我学到了责任感、团队合作，并掌握了一些新技能。
我希望能影响更多人加入Youth或Creative team，这能使我们更充满活力，更敬畏上帝。总的来说，我的信仰旅程是上帝的呼召，我愿意承诺为祂服侍。
希伯来书11章1节总结了这一点：“信就是所望之事的实底，是未见之事的确据。”
感谢大家聆听我的见证，祝大家有美好的一天。
Before 2022 I did not see God as my personal saviour. Embarking on my journey to know God is one of the most transformative experiences for me as it leads me to realise God’s presence in my life. As I get to know God more, a desire to serve Him came, though I was reluctant to do so at first.
Today I am serving in the creative team manning the cameras for Sunday service. Where youth activities are concerned, I have been put in charge of both backstage, am on the keyboards, and from time to time I am also placed in the role of an usher.
I have grown closer to God after a period of serving Him, and have found my faith in Him. It was a blessing that I have friends around me like e.g. Nicxon, Michael, and Max, just to name a few, to encourage me to serve in the creative team and to participate in youth activities.
After I started serving, I feel a need to influence others to join either youth or to serve in creative team – this will make us more invigorated to be more God-fearing. Indeed, I find a lot of joy serving the Lord and I would like to encourage everyone to glorify Him by serving Him. Valuable lessons are learnt while serving Him, including learning to take up responsibility with commitment and dedication, learning to work together as a team, getting to know new friends and learning new skills such as playing an instrument.
I see my faith journey as a call from God to embrace a life of faith, trusting God’s promises and committing to serve him even though I do not know what the future holds for me.
Hebrews 11:1 sums it up nicely “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see.”
