A living testimony

How much theological training does one need to bring someone to Christ? There is no requirement; your life speaks louder than your words. Wai Jing is preaching the gospel with her life.

Gary and Mabel Meade’s journey with Wai Jing began in April 2008. They met her at Dongshi Baptist Church in Taiwan when she was still dependent on illegal drugs and heavy prescription medications.

Wai Jing’s visits to the church were on and off until 2012. But after Mabel started a regular Bible study with her, Wai Jing surrendered her life to Jesus. The Meades asked supporters to pray for real change in Wai Jing’s life, knowing that it would be a long journey. But by the grace of God, she has changed to a totally “new” person.

Her testimony has impacted her family and her co-workers. In June of 2014, Wai Jing made a public profession of faith in front of the people at church and her whole family. Before she was baptized, she read her testimony of faith and a special thanks to her family for their care and support over the years.

The grace and power of God have changed this woman who was once drug dependent to someone who is completely free from illegal drugs and takes almost no medication. She once hated her family, especially her stepmother, but now she expresses love to her family and cares for her stepmother to the point she will even babysit her stepmom’s children. God is real to her!

God continues to use her life to be a blessing to her family. In September 2014, her aunt who lives two doors down from Dongshi Baptist Church attended an area combined worship service. She made her decision to follow Christ on that day! She is so amazed at the changes she has witnessed in Wai Jing’s life; she wanted to experience this God herself.

In the meantime, Wai Jing’s brother has been attending a weekly Bible study with Wai Jing and a couple other people from church. In January 2015, he prayed to invite Christ to be his personal Savior!

God’s amazing grace does not stop there. Wai Jing’s stepmother attended the 2014 Christmas celebration at church and on that evening, she accepted Christ! They were once enemies; they are now friends. More importantly, they belong to the same family of God.

Wai Jing’s father came to church also; we still pray for God’s saving grace upon him.
