Jonathan Lim tells his story…
Jonathan is a medical student from Malaysia
who arrived to study in Manchester in
September 2007.
During Fresher’s week I got to know about King’s Church through a fellow student
who attended there. As I started to attend the activities during Fresher’s
week organized by King’s Church, my experience in university changed altogether,
from a student away from my home country to being adopted into a big
family of brothers and sisters in Christ. Wow, what a wonderful gift from God.
So, to all freshers, do get involved at King’s Church as it brings us students
closer together.
Many events and programmes organized help bring us students closer together,
building and strengthening our relationships. Here in King’s Church, it’s all
about building good relationships. We students have the opportunity to meet
other students and people from different countries, with diverse cultures and
experiences as we gather together and worship the one true living God.
During term time at university, I have much to learn and to do, but I also have
a freedom now that I am away from home. Well, “choices are free, but consequences
are compulsory”. How we spend our time, determines our future. That
is why it’s so important to be rooted in a church, like King’s Church, with sound
doctrine. We receive the word of God with joy and gladness in our hearts, growing
day by day.
When we face trials and difficulties, our brothers and sisters in Christ are always
there for us. When we face a problem, God will provide a solution. When there
is no way, God will make a way. When we go astray, God will draw us back to
Him. When we struggle with sin, God is there to deliver us. How blessed we
are! Praise God.
I am so amazed at how God has worked in my life during my first year in university
of Manchester. I have grown to be a more mature Christian, got to know
people, built strong relationships and am always looking for more opportunities
to share the good news with others: that Jesus Christ is alive and He wants to
live in the hearts of each and every one of us. Praise God!
