Encouragement : )
Hope to share the below as an encouragement to your dear brothers and sisters in Christ ;)
It’s been a while since I last pen and share my thought among fellow friends, whether known or unknown to me. First, let me present myself. I came to know Jesus since my early youth. Though was not able to attend churches due to time constrain in the past, He continue to preserve His love and grace for me, encouraging me daily to live accordingly to His will, enduring each and every temptation and trails along the way of my life. Praise to God that now I am currently attending a particular church, which He has chosen for me.
As mention earlier, due to time constrain, I was not able to attend regular church service. Though many churches now offer plenty different time schedule to cater for people like me, I was still not able to adapt to any of it. In short, I was hopping from one church to another, regardless of denomination. In short, I was never lacking in God’s words and gifts. Then God directed me to one particular church, a small Mandarin speaking church! Though I am able to converse fairly in Chinese and blend among them, I am handicap. I come from a “kebangsaan” school since young and am not able to read the Chinese character displayed. Since God open this particular path for me, I obliged to give it a try.
At first, I was most uneasy with the whole service, from the start of praise and worship to the end of alter calling. I do manage to catch some verse here and there and since the church is a small church, we know each other and hold each other closely in fellowship. What I am lacking is covered by their warmness and passion. God has indeed opened my eyes! Language is no longer a barrier to me among my fellow Chinese brothers and sisters. Therefore, it’s not too much for me to say that God has His ways. Indeed He works mysteriously.
In the past, never would I imagine that I would join a Chinese church, what more to serve Him there! I truly believe that He will continue to open path in my life as I follow one step at a time on this lighted path, knowing that He is the shepherd guiding His little lamb. ~S.H.
“He guide, we follow,We plan, He accomplish.”

Thanks Bro! I do encourage from your sharing! :)
Keep on moving! Since God has placed you in that church, I'm sure He will grant you the wisdom to learn chinese ^^
Sharing gospel in chinese lets non-believers not to think that Christianity belongs to western ppl only. It breaks the barrier!
God really love you so much! Keep sharing with non-believers and do write more to share with us.
