都志銘見證

曾記得我在年青時期，大約二十多歲左右吧,在新加坡旅遊探親,在妹夫家逗留了一個星期,臨別前夕,我妹妹的家婆來,見到她手裡抱了一件東西,是用紅色絲巾包裹好的,順手交了給我,並交代我說:裡面是一幀觀世音菩薩,要我小心的帶回香港,並說是我母親托她到一家著名的廟宇裡請回來的,已開了光。自此我與太太倆跟著家人燒香拜佛,好似人拜我也要拜的現像。如果用現在的思根與眼光來看,過去幾十年裡,思想與人生觀實在是非常幼稚可笑了！

感謝主耶穌基督的恩典,我膝下有兩個女兒,兩個兒子。第二女兒與兩個兒子都在美國求學成長,並且都在幾年前歸信了主。在主耶穌基督的帶領下,都成為主的忠實信徒。1993年我的第二女兒回香港渡假時曾給我傳福音,當時我已聆聽到主耶穌基督呼喚我的聲音,可惜當時沒有認真去接受。

1996年9月,我的太太突然得到絕診「末期胃癌」。這對我來說是晴天霹靂。當時她一方面接受專科醫生的深切治療，另一方面也求靠菩薩保佑,日拜夜拜。我的兒女很用心的又開始在我倆之間傳福音,要我們一起信主耶穌基督,把一切交給主,並給我們一些有關的書籍與小冊子,錄音帶和詩歌。最可貴的是,還送了一本神聖無比的聖經給我倆。同時,很耐心的給我們解釋,帶領我倆進入主耶穌的境界。由主來帶領我們,把一切交托給主。主耶穌基督是全然恩慈,聖潔以及有無盡的愛。上帝是創造萬物的主宰,是三位一體的神,是獨一無二的真神。只有在主耶穌基督裡才能得到永生平安。神愛世人,祂是我們唯一的救主。

兒女們還經常在慈母的病床邊為她默默禱告。一步一步引領她,鼓勵她認識主耶穌基督。不但這樣,同時還講了一些知名人仕的見證。醫院裡也有幾位教會的同工給我太太傳福音。聖靈感動了她。她開始為自己禱告,為子女,為我禱告,每天學習聖經,唱詩歌,聽錄音帶,並在病床上跟兒女喜樂,微笑。更難得是:在病床上跟子女打小麻將,談笑風生。對病重的她來講,自己病得那麼厲害,那麼辛苦,能夠在艱難的環境中,憑著信念,很認真,很用心地進入主的大門,確是難能可貴。求主愛護她,接受她,牽著她的手。每當唱完詩歌與禱告完畢後,總是有一種說不出的滋味,感到喜悅,微笑,平靜。一天一天,一月又一月,我太太逐步開始認識了主耶穌,終於她接受了主耶穌基督成為她的救主。洗禮的當天有許多朋友,兒女,並包括我在內見證。牧師在她的病床邊給她施洗,給她祝福,當時她激動非常,掉下了喜樂的眼淚。感謝主耶穌基督接受她,成為神的女兒。這是一種榮耀和福份。

1997年11月,由於病情嚴重變化轉移,我太太與病魔鬥爭了一年多,終於離棄了兒女與我,走上光明的路程—天堂。在她臨走前囑咐我,不用牽掛她,我們總有一天會見面。她是那麼安祥,喜悅,平安。我很相信,總有那麼一天,我會在天堂見到她。永別是人生最難接受的,那種悲傷與痛苦是何等難受,對我來說是一次最大的衝擊。當時我失去了做人的目標,情緒低落，天南地北都雞分得清楚。經過了一段時日,我才慢慢平靜下來。雖則當時我沒有跟太太一起洗禮接受主耶穌基督,但她接受洗禮的情景深刻印在我的腦海裡。我為她的決志感動,並為她感到驕傲。我開始逐漸遠離過去的迷信,找尋光明的路程。由於過去我是有罪之身,對主沒有信念,自以為有了神佛已足夠,沒有認識到真神耶穌基督是救世之主,真感到後悔莫及。

1999年初,聖靈感動了我,我開始醒悟過來。每當回到家門後,看到滿天神佛與風水擺設就感覺到不順眼與不舒服。我開始行動,把它們逐一清除。我肯定了我的信仰,我想得到主,做一個聖潔的基督徒。我這個迷失的羔羊終於回到了大家庭。我內心感覺到無比的興奮和喜悅。感謝主,人生開始進入新的一頁。我每星期日早上去到宣道會北角堂做禮拜,在主裡面我真是很渺小,什麼都不懂,像幼兒般慢慢學習。感謝主給我力量,並感謝我太太給我做了模範,感觸良深。感謝兒女的鼓勵與關心支持,使我找到了正途。

2000年7月來到美國馬尼蘭,在我女兒家住下。每星期日跟我女兒與女婿去教會做禮拜,學習主的話語。在他們關懷下學

習,我對主耶穌基督有了更深的認識。自從心裡有了主,我的人生有了很大的轉變,因為我可以把一切重擔交給主耶穌基督,生活上開始有一種很平靜的喜樂。去年8月中來到波士頓,在兩個兒子家住下,經兒子的帶領下,來到了波士頓華人佈道會。

主啊！我要跟隨你。我堅信,堅定,上帝請帶領我。在教會裡認識到幾位牧師,很多的弟兄與姊妹們,他們每位都很親切的,熱心的,很用心的幫助我,鼓勵我,我感覺到來到了一個大家庭,是耶和華的大家庭。我肯認定主耶穌是唯一的真主,我亦肯認定我們這個主,只要我們跟隨祂,主會給我們建立平安,不給我們憂愁,只要我們行在真理上面,一定得到他的愛護。所以我決志好好地跟隨主,做一個聖潔的基督徒。

我感謝身邊兄弟姊妹的幫助與關心,使我接受了耶穌基督為我的救主,管理我的一切,使我和家庭得到平安和快樂。我願接受主的天堂,按照聖經的教訓和督責,排除私慾,私念,淨化靈魂,使我歸正,準備行各種力所能及的善事,每日禱告與天父溝通,按期到教會進行崇拜,參與團契。這是靈命成長所必需的,促使我成為一個真正的基督徒,確確實實作神的兒女。

感謝主。

回想這一切都是主的安排,神一直在保護著我,指引我順利走出困境,我真誠地感謝主在關鍵時刻的幫助和拯救。願主與我同在。現在唯有我大女與女婿在香港,未曾接受主耶穌的恩典,希望她在不久將來亦可以接受到聖靈感動,相信主耶穌為救主。

Chue Ming Tu Testimonial

I remember visiting my relatives in Singapore when I was in my twenties. I stayed for about a week with my sister's family. Upon my departure, my sister's mother-in-law handed me an item wrapped in a red silk cloth. She told me that the object was a miniature statue of a goddess, obtained from a famous temple at the request of my mother; I was supposed to bring it back to Hong Kong. From that point onward, my wife and I followed other family members in worshipping Buddha and other idols. It was a phenomenon of following what other people were doing. Looking back from what I understand now, my thinking and my philosophy of life in the past decades were both naive and laughable!

Thanks be to Jesus Christ our Lord, we are blessed with two sons and two daughters. Our second daughter and both sons grew up and studied in the U.S., and they all accepted Jesus many years ago. They have grown to become Christians under the guidance of our Lord Jesus. In 1993, our second daughter visited us in Hong Kong during her vacation, and she shared with us the Gospel. At that time, I heard the voice of our Lord Jesus calling me, but unfortunately I was not serious enough to accept Him.

In September 1996, my wife was diagnosed as having stomach cancer at the terminal stage. This was a great shock to me. At the time, while she was undergoing intensive treatment from specialists, she pleaded with the goddess idol day and night. Again our sons and daughters diligently preached the Gospel to us. They wanted us to believe in Jesus, and to entrust all things to Him. We were given faith related booklets, audiotapes and hymns, but the most precious item given to us was a copy of the Bible. They tried patiently to explain it to us and to lead us into the realm of believing in Jesus. They told us that we should let the Lord guide us and entrust Him with all things. Our Lord Jesus is gracious and holy; His love is everlasting. The Lord is the creator of all things: He is a God of trinity - the one and only true God. Only through Jesus Christ can we receive peace and everlasting life. For God so loved the world, He gave us His Son. He is the only savior.

Our sons and daughters often stayed with their mother at her sick bed and prayed silently for her. Step-by-step, they led and encouraged her to know Christ. In addition, they told her testimonies of many famous people. Within the hospital there were also several church workers who shared the Gospel with my wife. Touched by the spirit of Jesus, she began to pray for herself, for her children, and for me. Every day she studied the Bible, sang hymns, listened to tapes, and smiled and rejoiced with her children while she was in her sick bed. There, she even played games and kidded with the children. It was very precious that being so severely sick, suffering so much pain and undergoing so much hardship. she was able to enter the doorway of the Lord through faith and sincerity. The Lord protected her, accepted her and held her hand. Every time when she finished singing and praying, there was always an indescribable feeling in her - a mixture of joy and peace. Day after day, month after month and step by step, my wife came to know Jesus. Finally, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Many friends joined our family on the day she was baptized. And while the pastor administered the baptism and gave her a blessing, she was overcome with emotion; she shed many tears of joy. Thanks be to Jesus for accepting her as His daughter; this is a glorious blessing.

It was November 1997 when my wife's condition grew worse. After battling her sickness for over a year, my wife finally deserted her children and husband and moved onward on her trip to heaven. Before she left, she told me that there was no need for me to keep thinking about her; we would meet again one day. She was so calm, joyous and peaceful, it made me believe that there could be such a day when I would see her again in heaven. It is most difficult in life to accept the final farewell. How unbearable was the grief and pain! This had to be the biggest blow in my life, and I became depressed and aimless, not knowing what else was going on around me. It was only after a while that I was able to calm down. Although I had not accepted Jesus nor gotten baptized at the same time as my wife, scenes and moments from her baptism became imprinted in my memory. I was moved by her decision to accept Christ, and I was proud of her decision. Gradually, I moved away from past superstition and sought the glorious way. In the past, I could not have faith in the Lord due to the many sins in my life. I thought it was enough to worship the false gods. I regret so much that I did not then know Christ Jesus, the true God and Savior of the world.

Early in 1999, I was moved by the Holy Spirit and the awakening in me began. Every time when I returned home, I became uneasy and uncomfortable seeing all the idols and the many setups due to Feng Shui consideration.I started taking action to clean them out. I ascertained my belief: I wanted to receive the Lord and I wanted to become a godly Christian. I was like a lost sheep that finally returned to the big family. Deep inside myself I felt excited and joyous. Thanks be to God that I began a new page of my life. Every Sunday morning | attended worship service, and I felt insignificant in the presence of the Lord. Like a little child, I knew very little and I could only learn slowly. I thanked God for granting me strength, I thank my wife for her good example, and I thanked my children for their care and support that helped me to find the right way.

In July 2000, I came to Maryland and stayed with my daughter. Every Sunday, I went with my daughter and son-in-law to worship service, and I studied God's word. Under their care I learned more about Jesus. Ever since I had Jesus inside my heart, my life had undergone a big change. Because I could unload all of my burdens onto Jesus, I began to experience peace and joy in my life. Last August, I arrived in Boston to stay with my two sons, and they led me to BCEC. At the church I came to know the pastors and many brothers and sisters. They are all very sincere and fervent, and they help and encourage me a lot. I feel like I have joined a big family - the big family of our Lord God. Now I affirm that Jesus is the only true God. I also affirm that if we only follow Him, He will grant us peace and take away our sadness. He will care for us as we walk in the truth. Therefore, I have made my decision to follow the Lord, and be a godly Christian.
