Here are two stories of recent baptisms in the Hong Kong Church of Christ:
Tsz Shan
Tsz Shan, who grew up in the church, was baptized on August 22, 2015.
Tsz Shan is the daughter of Ling in TKO Sector, studying Form 5. She first came to church when she was six years old together with her younger brother and her mother. Later, Ling was baptized.
Tsz Shan lived in a grassroots family, and did not have any goals and expectations for her life. Just muddling along. When she went to preteens, she admitted that she wanted to go to church because she did not want her pocket money being confiscated.
As she started to go to church intermittently, the preteens workers put all their efforts to love her, unwilling to give up and lose anyone. Preteens worker tailor-made Sunday spiritual teachings of the Bible and activities for her. God has his own timing. After last year's Sector Camp, she made a 180 degrees turn. She shared with others: I have found my reason to go to church!
From then on, she was longing to go to church, building relationship with other teens, brought her friends to church, even made effort to study the Bible.
Cathy Yip
Cathy Yip, a HKUST Science year-3 student, was baptized in Clearwater Bay on August 30, 2015. This news thrilled us all, since UST has been considered as one of the hardest campus fields for the gospel ever. And yet, God led this simple-hearted soul to seek him in a proper time.
Boundless campus has tried to reach out to UST students again since last summer. Cathy came to one of our activities a year ago without interest towards the Bible nor having any good talks with Christians. In fact, she was kind of self-protective and shy, hardly responded to a simple conversation in sentences. Cathy is a smart girl and has done great in academic, though she was too much of an intellectual to feel and have emotions.
Her secondary school classmate, a baptised kingdom kid, Tsz Wah’s persistency and unfailing love touched her heart bit by bit. Cathy started to study the Bible with Topaz, Phoebe( both of them are Flying Eagles) together with Tsz Wah this summer.
