was taken aback. She later found out that her Section Leader had been inviting him and he finally felt compelled to “give her face.” “But I won’t say much, ok?” he warned. That night, he was one of the most active participants during carecell. He started going for carecell regularly and soon used his guitar-playing talents for Glorify almost every week. Three years later, in 2015, God placed in my heart a deep desire to see him go through water baptism. Once again, I interceded for my father to take the next step in his journey with God. That was also the year when my husband, child, and I moved overseas. Being away made me value family even more and the desire to see my father water baptized grew even stronger. One day, my father sent me a WhatsApp message to see if I would be back in Singapore on a certain date. He wanted to apply for water baptism but checked to make sure I would be back to witness it. Tears of joy filled my eyes as I was overwhelmed by God’s faithfulness and power in moving in my family all these years.
Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your household.” Acts 16:31
On March 12, 2016, my father publicly declared his faith in God. 17 years ago, I could not have imagined how God could do such a wonderful and miraculous work in my family. 17 years seem like a long time but what is a second, a minute, or years in God’s hands? Indeed, He truly makes everything beautiful in His time.
