Yesterday we had a special guest speaker, his name is Tony Anthony, mother chinese, father Italian... from the moment he stepped up into the stage, most of the congregation were fixed on him. The hall was full to the brim and I am sure all of us were touched by his testimony....
He called himself a tiger because he was "ferocious" from a very young age. He was born in London and was sent back to China when he was four years old. His grandparents brought him up till he was twelve, during the time he was there, his grandfather taught him "kungfu." From that young age, he was physically abused... perhaps due to the strict discipline of kungfu....
During his years of kungfu training, he grew up as a trainer and a bodyguard. During the 1980s, he committed some crimes and was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment. During that three years, he was paid weekly visits by a christian from Crypus..... and to cut my post short, he received Christ when he was at his "downest" period of time......
Earthly statement... seeing is believing....we see then only we believe, right... BUT as Christians, Believing is Seeing... when we believe in God, we will see Him.... truly we will see His goodness...
At the end of the service, there was an altar call, many of us came up to him and received a prayer... that includes me as well... it is indeed a touching testimony...
God is Good....
Wow, I love to hear testimonies, especially from those in foreign lands. What a wonderful opportunity for you and your church to have such a person come and share.
ReplyDeletewei...his life story sounds a bit like Taikor in Khoo Kheng Hor's book
ReplyDeleteWhat a great testimony. Wish I could have been there to witness the whole thing. When someone testifies about things like that I never leave without my heart being touch. What a great opportunity for you and your church!
