I was born into a Buddhist family and initially followed their traditions, but my exposure to Christianity through my eldest sister led me to love Jesus and secretly pray to God despite outward appearances. The gospel changed me by revealing the true nature of Christianity - not about a victorious life or a good life, like I previously thought, but about following Christ's path of suffering and holding onto the living hope in Him. CERC played a crucial role in helping me build a foundation on the gospel, truth, and the Word, correcting false doctrines and restoring true gospel understanding. Now, I understand that my life is no longer mine but Christ's, and I strive to follow His path, depending on the Holy Spirit to renew my mind every day, flowing out from the foundation of the gospel, and maturing in Christ.
