RE: Open Church: Introduce yourself and share your faith journey - all are welcome

OK here's a bit about me. My name is Jimmy. I was born in China and migrated to Australia with my mum at the age of 7. The main reason my mum wanted to bring me to Australia was because at the age of 6 I was diagnosed with a genetic deteriorating eye condition. So my mum thought I would have many more opportunities to have a future in Australia. Growing up with a vision impairment was difficult, but it has made me the person I am today, so I'm thankful. Having a vision impairment means that I can't actually read stuff on Steemit, but rather I use a screen reader to listen to text, and help me navigate and read posts.

I came to faith in Jesus half way through university when my best friend heard the Gospel and invited me to church. There I experienced love which I had longed for all my life, and more importantly there I experienced the presence of God, and started my journey coming into relationship with Jesus. After accepting Jesus into my life, Jesus has radically transformed me in so many ways. I'm a completely different person, and my life is now full of joy, peace and purpose. I am currently also studying a masters degree in Christian ministry.

How my wife and I came together was a miracle, through God speaking to her and moving her heart, but that's another story. We now have two beautiful children who I adore. :)

What touched me about this is that God led you to a church that would fulfill the one thing you longed for. How God works with every person individually is just wonderful. I praise God for this church fulfilling their mission in sharing the love of God to you! Good luck with your studies, may you be blessed in it.
