Jeffery Chin Testimony

It's been an interesting journey thus far...i've gotten the chance to be able to see God work in ways big and small, and i've gotten to catch just a glimpse of the many various fruits of ministry. God's taught me a lot these few years in the youth group and he's even given me the privilege to be able to serve in the youth praise team. There, i am able to witness just the beauty of seeing the youth respond, to see them truly worship their creator in a true and genuine way. Currently, freshman year has been a new experience...which then produces hardships of its own. Though i face the daily challenges of being a "high schooler," i am able to still fight my battles through the help of my graciously given accountability partners, active discipleship, and supportive youth group. More recently, I've gotten the chance to attend our winter retreat and meet the refugees of Bhutan...and square dance with them. It was a blessing to get to know them and to just hang out and play games. Though they were a bit shy in the beginning, once they opened up, it was the greatest thing ever.

Pride and idolatry are two things that I continue to struggle with and they've both been fighting to win their places in my heart. I've exprerienced that cold and empty feeling that these things leave me with after I indulge in them and i try to remind myself that they don't ultimately satisfy. My depravity is crystal clear when I see these sins in my life and I realize that my need for God is undeniable. Through accountability, studying, and constant prayer, I hope to continue in my sanctification and growth.
