Lydia's testimony

Met Lydia at the bus stop outside church on my way to tuition. She was very friendly, asked if I was a bible sch student and after that we started chatting. Lydia is from Taiwan and was a full-time church staff. To my surprise, she is only a 5-yr Christian and 3-yr member in the church she is serving in. I asked her what motivates her to serve God full-time.

She shared with me that actually after her conversion, she wanted to serve God after about 5 yrs in church, who knows after 1+yrs, her pastor asked if she wanted to serve in church. She initially did not want to but her pastor asked her to reconsider. She then asked God to baptize her in the Holy Spirit if He wants her to serve Him full-time. Who knows a few days later while riding on the roads, she suddenly started speaking in tongues! WOW! God really moves! The next day, God also spoke to her through a Psalm about giving her life totally to God and nothing else matters. She knew it was God and so she went ahead.

She also shared with me that she is very inspired by Pst Kong as every yr, Pst will go to Taiwan to train the leaders. 4 times a year, 3 days each time, 12 hrs each day. WOW. In one day, Pst will finish teaching one BS book we have in CHC and in the 4 times a yr, he'll finish the whole series. Pst teaches from 9am-10pm everyday. WOW. She said she's very amazed at the strength and determination of Pst, that towards the end, even though they are already very tired, Pst is still teaching energetically. WOW. I, personally, am very impressed by them too! 4hrs of SOT everyday is already like quite tiring for me and they could endure 12 hours! Looks like I need to start building my spiritual muscles. =)
