A New Believer Reading the Whole Bible in 2 weeks

We think you would be also amazed like us if you know that Thanh, our new believer, finished reading the whole Bible in two weeks. In fact, he is neither a good student in school nor an excellent son in the family. He just loved the Word and read it day and night whenever he had free time. He came to us several days during his reading with a lot of questions and we have approved that His knowledge about God’s Word is amazing! Therefore, we rewarded him a bicycle. God also granted this person a great wisdom to understand the Bible in a very special way. We were so overwhelmed by that awesome testimony. His Word is powerful!

Here is his testimony: “I prayed to receive Christ in August 1st but I just personally and really met Jesus this month when I read the Bible and found His love for me. I am amazed why God’s standard for Christian conduct is so different from the world. I also experience changes in my life. Before conversion, when things went wrong, I often got frustrated and discouraged but now because I digently read the Word and sing praises to Him I have become calm and difficulties seem nothing... Because of reading and mediating God’s Word, He helped me control my temper. I become more responsible with my responses and behaviors.” Thien Thanh - Student

Effect of Bible Emphasis Month

We thank God for many of you who walking alongside with us in prayers and support for AEC growth. We thank God for the progress of our church for the past two months by His grace and divine will. When Prayer is the emphasis of September to teach us to be prayerful believers, the Bible is the emphasis of October to help us grow in Him and to be the student of the Word. Let us encourage you with wonderful testimonies of how God’s Word touched and tranformed our AEC members. We believe that AEC was built on “the rock” of testimonies of faith in Jesus, Son of the living God and now AEC members are being built on “the rock” of His living Word.

“Although I just recieved Christ for a short time, my understanding of God’s Word is very little and sometimes incorrect but I reliaze that it’s so blessed for us to have God’s commandments. We will always have right directions for our lives. Life becomes easier: no worries in time of sickness, no discouragements in difficult times... It has been true in my recent experience. Therefore, please never let the Word far from our mouth (Joshua 1:8).” Luong Thao – Intern Student

“The first lesson that I have learned and surely will follow in the rerst of my life is “learn to love and to forgive.” I forgave my father who abondoned my mother and me. I could do it not because of my own strength or effort but because of the power of His Word. hank God!” Hannah Mai – Assisant Dentist

“If I just live by the ”bread” – eating 3 meals a day to satisfy my physical needs, to have a healthy and beautiful body, it cannot be called living, but just existing – existing a life without purposes and glories giving to God. But I know that I am truly living every day because I am “fed”by God’s Word everyday and I am taught by the Holy Spirit. Because of that, I am truly living my life for God, glorifying Him on this earth.”

As other men I had two problems: smoking and drinking that caused serious diaseases that even doctors requested me to stop. My family adviced me to give up because they had seen my health getting worse every day but I could not. After 3 weeks coming to church and then contacting with the Word, I don’t know why I stopped smoking and dringking. Now as I am freed from those bad and destructive habits, I thank God because He helped me. Now I even feel digusting when I see my friends drinking.” Anh Tien – Worker
