Full-Time Training - Testimonies

No Regrets, R. Lee

I was born into a Christian home, and I was raised in a Christian home. I believed in God, and I loved God for as long as I can remember. Yet somehow, something always seemed to be missing in my Christian life. Not until recent years did I realize what was lacking. I really didn't know the Bible or the truths in the Bible that much. I only knew the Lord in a shallow way. I lived like this for years.

Then sometime during college, through various events and circumstances, I was brought to a point where I just had to stop and consider my life. What was it about? What was it for, really? Where was the meaning in it? Within me there was (and still is) this fear of wasting my life. I didn't want my life to be a waste. Rather, I wanted it to count in the Lord's eyes, which for me I knew meant serving God, even for the rest of my life. It was at that time that I decided I would go to the Full-Time Training in Anaheim to be trained in Bible truths and church service.

The Training is so wonderful. It's amazing how wonderful it is. Everyday my being is full of “wows!” Since I've been here, I've found that my faith has increased. Here I'm learning how to seek the Lord, how to find Him, and how to live a normal Christian life and be a normal Christian. My mind and my heart, my eyes and my ears are opening more to God. And all the things that I had heard and read about growing up are becoming more clear to me, and more my experience. As a result, I'm getting to know the Lord more subjectively and I love Him more. God is so real.

In the Training we study the Bible. We really get into the truths in the Bible using books by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. And I am beginning to see what's in the Bible. It used to be so hard for me to read this book, but now I can honestly say that I love my Bible. It's becoming my book. I thank and praise the Lord for the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee that opens up the Bible, and for His mercy, which has placed me and kept me here. Coming to the Training has been the best decision I ever made. Sometimes I do wonder about “missed opportunities” and the price I paid to be here. But even so, I will never regret making this choice.
