Foong lived in China. In the village where he lived there were no Christians, but one day when Foong visited another town there he heard about Jesus, the Saviour of sinners. And Foong believed the message that he heard, for “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Foong trusted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour, who now came to dwell in Foong’s heart.
There was a great change in Foong’s life from then on; he sought to live for Jesus and to please Him.
When a missionary came to the village, he inquired, “Are there any Christians in your village?” The man replied, “Only one boy.”
Walking on a little further, the missionary stopped and asked another man, “Have you ever heard of Jesus?”
“O yes!” he replied. “There is a boy here who is always talking about Him. He wants me to trust in Jesus, and to give up my idols.”
“What is the boy’s name?” asked the missionary.
“Foong,” the man replied. “Foong used to be unkind and selfish, but now he, is kind and unselfish. He has changed so much since he believed in Jesus, and he says it was Jesus that made the change in him. Sometimes I think that Foong is right.”
The missionary began to preach the gospel in that village and he found those there that were ready to listen. It was because of Foong’s faithful testimony for his Saviour.
