When the conference is over, the sisters from Romania, Sis. Melisa from Berlin and I go around the city. We went to many places. I enjoyed very much to be with them. The scenery is beautiful, the sky is blue, the sisters are pretty...and I'm not alone! :). During the conference, finally i found time to talk to Sis Sonia from Prague. Here is her testimony, " I was 14 when the communist fall. I start to seek for something when i was 16. I practised yoga and read a lots of books. Then, I decided to read Bible. My friend get 1 for me. I like this book but in me, I start to ask, is this real or is it just a story? In Jeremiah, there's a verse says," if you will seek Me, you will find Me! then, I pray, " God, if Your are, I'm seeking You." and I heard a voice says, " I'm seeking you." I'm scared! I'm a good girl but I realised I'm a sinner, I'm afraid of God. I have a friend who is a believer, he is a pastor's son. He saw me holding the Bible, he preached gospel to me. He told me about Adam became sinful, yet God is Holy, but Lord Jesus came, He is knocking on your heart.... Then, I go back and pray," Lord Jesus, come into my heart." I start to preach gospel to my friend. I was 17 that year. After sometime, I lost my joy and i realised i need to have fellowship with christian, I start to meet with some christian in my town. In Christian Youth Camp, they tell us it is the Lord who redeemed you, it is not according to your work. I found my joy again. I studied in University. I joined the same christian group. and I met Bro Adam. When I finished my uni, we get married. We started to live in Prague. Adam is studying theology, he is bored with his study. One day, he found Bro. Watchman Nee's book in his library. He like that book very much. His friend introduce him to a book store with only Nee's book. There he met Bro. Curt Kennard. Bro. Curt Kennard drove every morning from south of Prague to north to have morning revival with Adam and go back to south again. Adam was very touched by this and he told me he felt he should leaved the denomination. I dont understand. I fell Adam's future is here, this is the biggest christian group in Prague beside Catholic. But in one week, the Lord speak to me, I realised I must follow the Lord. So, I told Adam, " I will follow you." Adam is very surprised! Adam start to serve the Lord, and doing translation, and distribution of the books now." Bro Adam said, I'm the first oversea saint who didnt lost anything in Prague! Thank the Lord! So, if you ever went there, please be extra,extra cautious about your belonging. All the time i spent in Bratislava, I stayed with Bro. Nathaniel's family. They migrated here from US for the Lord. I'm very impressed that their three children knows a lots of languages. They are really the future of the church. Bro. Nathaniel and Sis Wan Chi were very busy for the conference. Therefore, we dont really have much time to fellowship. There were 8 saints who meets regularly for the Lord's Table in Bratislava. Anyhow, I saw something which is really marvelous in Prague and Bratislava. There is a group of brothers who are well mingled and blended. I saw the way they coordinate together, it is so sweet, so smooth, i find nothing to describe their coordination accept "four living creature"! We pursue a lots on "four living creature". But in my mind, sometime i will ask, is this real, will it ever happened on this earth before the coming age? I never see it fulfill in anywhere( of course, I havent travel far enough, my world is very small). But when i saw this groups of brother, one stand up to translate, after translating for two, he just sit down without any signal or instruction, another brother just stand up to take over his place. one make an anouncement, another just stand up to make up the lack, and you can see they are so one, there is no offence, no dislike or any negative feeling, they just support one another, their coordination is so organic and beautiful, as beautiful as the oneness of the Triune God! I'm very thankful for this. Through them, i finally have a little bit of apprehension about "the four living creature". and at least in a part of this world, there is the reality of it! even now, is there already! Praise the Lord!
