Prague, Czech Republic
Jana brought me over to a house for home meeting. There, we met with Bro. Frantisek and Lenka. Most of the time, we communicated through sign language. Jana tried to translate for me all the time. We took out paper, drawing, pointing, tried our very best to fellowship. I indeed enjoy it very very much. Its sweet and lovely. Here is the testimony from Bro Frantisek through translation," When I was young, I was aggresively against the gospel. I was an unbeliever. My father was a communist. Every three years, i need to join the military service for 1 month, but i dont like to stay there. At night, when i look at the sky full of stars, i was considering a lots of things. I remember that many people around me talk about God. So, I asked God, "people say You do exist, I'm asking You, do You exist?" and I can feel in the spirit there is an answer came, says, Yes! I'm the One who make the sky and the stars which you are looking at now. From then on, I believed in God as a Creator but I dont care about my relationship with Him. I respect God and believe His existent, but my life doesnt change. Later, I got a copy of Matthew(the cover is blank page, so that communist dont know what is it),when i read chapter 5, 6 and 7, it touched me very much. I realised i have relationship with God, since that time, my life start to change. But i didnt understand what is actually happening(only later i learned that this is called regeneration). Then Jehovah Witness contacted me. I was with them for 10 years. After that, we leaf because we realized that we are regenerated and we cant remain in an organisation which keep our spirit closed(on the 8th years we start to know about this, but it takes another two years for us to turn). After we leaf, we seek to have contact with other christian group such as baptist, catholic, orthodox, brethren....but i feel that the Spirit didnt allow us to stay with them, yet i dont know why. One day, i went to a book store and i found watchman nee and witness lee's book. I didnt look at other books. i just go straight to this two book and i read, i lkie it, its new and strange to me. there is a lots of thing you cant find in others' book. there was a coupon inside which you can ask for other books. I sent the coupon and i get other books. in 2001, there was a conference in Prague, Bro Adam asked us(by sending us invitation letter) whether we want to attend. we went. we found it same as the literature, a lots of new things. we continue to read and attend conferences. Some times after the 2001 conference, some brother come to our house and read the Ministry together with us. we are not sure whether we should join the church. only in 2005, we joined. at that time,bro. Adam leave for Slovakia, we have to continue to have the meeting ourselves. Once we were in Brno(blending), a brother declared there is a church in Brno, we also declare there is a church in Prague. We had Lord's Table in our house. So, we are very much involved in it." the testimony from Sis. Lenka, "I was also an unbeliever. Both of my parents are strong communist. Even my brother. But I'm not. I married to Frantisek. He keep in touch with Jehovah Witness, they start to come to our house. They gave me a book-"You can live forever in earth Eden". there is a chapter in that book-Who is God? I read and i accepted it, Jehovah is the Father God. After 2 years, we are going to Baptist, before that we read some book- Jesus die for us. Then I say, if we want to have eternal life, we must give our life to Jesus. We meet 3 times a week, but after every meeting, me and my brother will have argument. So, i say since we have problem every time after the meeting, lets not go to the meeting. so, we went to another congregation but problem still exist. But by that time, we already know God and Jesus. One day, my son have burning at his face, a brother who has the healing spirit pray for him in the name of Jesus and Jehovah, my son was healed in that afternoon. Later, we stop going to meet with Jehovah Witness. When Adam leave for Slovakia, they never consider that the bread breaking will stop, they say it iou to keep it is up to you to keep it on. So, it is God's sovereignty that leads that two family away, so that we may stay in the church. The Lord is satisfied with both Prague and Bratislava. when the Lord saw it is good for us to give us a miracle, He gave, He did the healing for us to experience His power and mercy. at that time, it is important to make us go on in faith. now, what the Lord doesnt do for us, we are not affected, we know we have Him( Matthew 23:8).
