My testimony 29May2004

My mother calls me a miracle because when I was born, the doctors said I would not live beyond the age of 3. I was born with a hole at the back and fluid I my brain.
My mum was devastated when the doctors told her that her 1st born would probably end up mentally-disabled. Now I have proven them wrong. But my journey has not been an easy one. When I was a tiny infant, I needed two operations to close up the hole and to drain the fluid out from my brain. There was only a membrane covering the hole at my back. When I was barely 2 years old, I underwent my 1st operation to remove stones from my kidney. When I was 4 years old, I underwent yet another operation, to correct the shape of my deformed feet so that I could wear shoes properly. I also have bedsore at the back of my buttock. I had done 8 times operation on the bedsore. When I was only 5 years old I went for 3rd operation, a shunt was inserted into my brain to drain out the fluid. I was in and out of hospital a lot of times, hence my mum calls me “sick child”.
In 2002 I went for a major operation the doctor expanded my bladder bigger as it is very small and can only contain very little of urine. The doctor used my intestines and appendix to enlarge my bladder bigger so that it can hold a lot of urine and the doctor open a hole on my belly button for me to insert the catheter to help me urine cause I can’t do it from below as it is difficult for me to do so. Hence after the operation I do the catheterization myself without my mum doing it for me, but I get infection very easily hence the doctor water-balloon the catheter in my belly-button and that I have to go to and fro to the hospital to get it changed every month. While others my age were running around, I could only sit on the wheelchair or crawl around using my arms or depend on my mum to carry me. Since young my family and I was not a believer, but Buddhist. I remembered when I admitted to hospital at the age of 10 my aunt and her friends came to visit me a few times and without failed they prayed 4 me before they leave and at that moment I felt something stirring in my heart and tears starts to roll on my face.
One day my aunt and her friend came and visit me in the hospital again and they ask me if I believe in Jesus and I said “I believe” and they ask me “why I believe in Jesus” and I just simply said “I believe in Jesus because when they pray for me I felt something stirring my heart.” Gradually I accepted Christ when I was 10 years old. My aunt, her husband and her friend bring me to Benny Hinn’s conference twice at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and too I felt something stirring in my heart and tears start to roll down from my face. Since then I never ever step into a church before. In 2003 I was invited to a CNY countdown party at Fort Canning Park by my friend Zhi Wei aka Jie Wee a member of Faith Community Baptist Church. When I was there then I realized it was not really a real CNY Countdown Party but a Christian CNY Countdown Party. Suddenly I remember since I have accepted Christ at the age of 10 years old and that I never been to church before and right before me are all Christians and so I ask Jie Wee to help me arranged transport to go to church in Faith Community Baptist Church. Since 2004 I attended the Encounter Weekend in May and after the Encounter Weekend I was baptized on 29 May 2004.
