Daniel is a young man about age 25 or 26. A friend brought him to church about three months ago. He told me that he was always a seeker of God. He searched for God in the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism and even Catholicism, all of which he found very fascinating. However, he told me that none of these roads gave him satisfaction. Then he was introduced to Christian prayer by the friend. He immediately noticed that there was a difference in Christian prayer and saw that prayers to Jesus even brought answers. This really spurred his interest, and he began to attend our church.
One Sunday, I managed to get to church early to pray and read the Bible. I was surprised by a strong sense of the Spirit of God in the room. I wondered what God was planning to bring us during worship that morning. Throughout the morning, I continued to sense the strong presence of God. After the service, Daniel sought out the pastor, saying he wanted to become a Christian. I was privileged to take part in prayer with Daniel that morning. We announced to the church that Daniel had accepted Christ, and we all celebrated together!
