My dad and Christ

God works in miraculous way.

I am in a Buddhist family. I am the only one who converted despite objections.

However, I can't enroll my family. I want them to butt out of my life so it is difficult now to try to get them back into my life. I only pray to God for open doors and hopefully through other people, my family will come to Christ.

My brother, I have strong faith that he will come to Christ. Infact, he already has through his wife but he has drifted off. I know one day he will come back again. It is a matter of time and I know God continuously works on him.

My father, He is a true testament of God's ways. My dad is not a believer of any faith. He will do no evil but he says he believes in himself. When I moved them to KL, I was worried whether he will get used to it. He is not a social guy and prefers to stay home.

But God is good. He placed a godly man in my dad's life. Uncle Leong owns a mechanic shop near our house. One day, my dad and I went to his shop. I chatted with him and realized he is a godly man. He even invited my dad to church. I encouraged my dad to be friends with Uncle Leong. Not thing much happened for a few months then one day I found out that Uncle Leong has been taking my dad out for food with some elderly guy friends. It was a perfect placement. My dad goes to church every Sunday with Uncle Leong now.

Uncle Leong is encouraging my dad to accept Christ and do the water baptism. This is my dad's decision and he has to decide. I thank God for his journey and I can only pray that he does.

As for my mom, she is a hard one to handle. I have tried to place a friend's mom in her life but till now no avail. There will be on opportunity. God will work and place the right people together. I can only pray for her and hopefully be of a good example.
