My name is Stephanie.  

I grew up in an evangelical  church.  I have always enjoyed going to church, especially since I had many friends at church.  I never thought about why we went to church together as a family.  I was still young so I just went along.  

​

In 2009 my parents told me that we were moving to China. We went there as missionaries and took over a church.  I started to think about that:  'why are we going to China?'.  Because I didn't understand why they wanted to go to a foreign land for  a God I did not see.  

Once in  China arrived  I began to see why my parents served this God. I myself never had  An  I had experience with God, I understood who He was and that He had died on the cross for my sins, but I just couldn't  believe it was real because I didn't see Him personally.  

My parents have always given us our own choice as children, because God also gives us as people a choice of our own. In 2010 I made a choice  to forsake my sins and follow God, for what had I to lose? I didn't feel anything after the prayer, but after a while I started to experience God in my own life.

From a young age I had problems with feelings of fear and inferiority. I went to pray against this and I experienced a peace, joy and a love that I had never experienced in my then 13-year life. We were still living in China and I saw people healed by God's grace. I still had difficulties in my life but I knew that God was with me. I go to church weekly and I am grateful to God that I can live for Him. 

God loves you  and has a plan for your life. I am very grateful that I made that choice  and that God has forgiven me by His grace. You can also make this choice and you will get a real joy and peace in your life.
