Full-Time Training - Testimonies

No Regrets, S.H.

Deciding to come to the Full-Time Training in Anaheim (FTTA) after graduating from college was the best decision I ever made. I believe I will never regret the two years I have spent here. These two years have been a precious time for me, and I will forever treasure the experiences that I have had in the Training. In the Training I have come to know the Lord Jesus as I had never known Him before. The Training has really helped me to deepen and cultivate my personal relationship with the Lord. In spending time with the Lord, and through our study of the Bible in the classes, I also have begun to see that God has an eternal desire in His heart, which is to gain a group of people who corporately live Him and express Him. The Training is to train us to be people who would meet this desire in God's heart.

When I first came to the Training, I thought I was coming to be perfected to be a “good Christian”. However, through many experiences, the Lord has been merciful to show me that a “good” person could never fulfill His purpose. He has no desire to improve my natural life, but rather, His desire is to train me to live by Him as life, taking Him as the source, means, and strength for all my living and working. In the Training I've learned that I can't do anything for the Lord until I let Him first work in me. This is what it means to live Christ, and this is what fulfills God's desire.

I'm really thankful to the Lord for every experience I've had in these two years--whether it be in the classes, in preaching the gospel, in all kinds of service, or in learning to live and coordinate with others. All these little experiences have taught me never to trust in myself, but to depend on the Lord in all things. I believe precious lessons will stay with me for the rest of my life. I am so grateful to the Lord for giving me the opportunity to consecrate these two years to Him. I believe that through the Training, a solid basis has been laid for the Lord to work in me for all the coming years. It's not an exaggeration to say that the FTTA has truly revolutionized my Christian life. I feel that I will never regret how I have spent these two years.
