If you believe in Him and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, you are a child of God and you will never regret your decision. 

(2) I accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour because He sacrificed His life on the cross to wash away my sins and now, I am a born-again Christian. I have eternal life and I am certain I will meet my Lord and Saviour and all my loved ones when He calls me Home.

(3) On Wednesday, 25th July 1962, a church friend came to our Geylanghouse to share the Gospel with my brother, Raymond Teo. He confessed his sins and received Christ. 

Later that evening, he shared with me and I, too, received Christ. I thought I was already a Christian since I came from a Christian home, but I learnt that unless I accepted Christ personally, I was not. I was 13 years old then and in Secondary 1, in my beloved school, GeylangMethodist Girls' School. Many happy memories are still etched in my mind, and I will always remember all my very dear teachers. I still keep in touch with some of my former classmates. 

Thanks be to God! All glory to Him!

Blessings to all,

However, I did not walk close with God and did not even know Jesus personally as my Lord and saviour. When I started to work in the police department, that was the time I was too busy to attend church and backslided. Yet God in His mercy and grace, sent me a group of christian police officers to surround me. I knew it was no coincidence as they were in the same police station and same team with me! Slowly, I joined their Police Christian Fellowship and that was the beginning of my call to serve God full time.

So, when I retired at age 45, I went to serve in the mission field in China.

This journey was another miracle as I was very poor in Mandarin and yet, heeded the call to serve in China. I have learned that God's strength and power would manifest when his people are weak and trust in Him. Indeed, I am humbled by His love and mercy.

"But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong" (1Cor 1:27)

Praise God! His name be glorified!

From Ruby Eng, GMGS 1960-1969

I came from a Christian family and attended Sunday school since young. I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ in 1967 when I was in Primary 5. I was blessed to be in GMGS as I had a mentor, Ms Rosalind Tan Cheng Kim who did one-to-one Bible study with me. She happened to be my neighbour in Circuit Road.

After I became a Christian, I joined the Christian Fellowship in GMGS. Rosalind was 3 years my senior and happened to be an active member in CF. We had Bible Study on a weekly basis. I would go to her house on the fifth floor (I stayed on the 10th floor). I am thankful to God for her consistent nurturing and her patience and guidance.

Together with Catherine Kok Ah Lui, my classmate and neighbour too(she lived on the 2nd floor), we would go to school together in the morning and Rosalind became my role-modeI in my Christian walk. Her gentleness, patience and godly behaviour helped me to see the change in my life. I praise God for her. I became bolder in my faith and even shared with Catherine Kok who later accepted Christ.

In her later years, Catherine became a church worker. Catherine is here today. I wish that Rosalind is here too. “It only takes a spark to get a fire going” is so true. GMGS had helped Rosalind to ignite the spark in me. I, in return, became that spark to ignite others. The environment in GMGS – the Chapel service, devotion and the Christian Fellowship further helped me in my walk with the Lord.

Glory to the Lord!

(2) I was not a believer then, and I have no knowledge of sins or what will happen to life after death.

We have devotion service once a week and listening to sermons helps me realise that I have sins and the only

way is to confess my sins is to accept Jesus into my life.  John 5:24, Jesus said “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.”

Jesus is the only one that paid the redemption price for my sins.

(3) In my Secondary school days, my cousin shared with me the Gospel and brought me to Church.

Being a young Christian, my spiritual journey was never easy sailing. All I need is to trust him for

He is in control. Truly, I have found a friend in Jesus, and I am never alone.

James 4:8 – “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”

  Difficult moments, SEEK GOD
  Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD
  Painful moments, TRUST GOD
  Every moment, THANK GOD”

 From Ng Cher Siang GMGS

From Brenda Chua

It is the gospel of Grace that I believe. Grace is a person, Jesus Christ. It is by Jesus (Grace) that I have been saved through faith and not of works lest any man should boost (Ephesians 2:8-9)

The Gospel of Grace is a message of Salvation, about Jesus who came to give life to the sinners such as I.

Why had I decided to accept Christ?

Acknowledging that I am born a sinner because of Adam’s sin and was saved by God’s grace through. Jesus who paid the price to redeem from death into everlasting life, forever righteousness.

Where and How?

I remember it was during Secondary three days. My classmate, SngMei Yong, came to me and asked  if I want to know about Jesus Christ. I said Yes, I would like to know about Him. Mei Yong shared that I am separated from God because of sins. Jesus Christ came

To bridge the gap between God and me. (Romans 5:8- But God demonstrated His love for me, while I am still a sinner, Christ died for me.

From Lih Hua, Angelina

1. Coming from a Buddhist family, I never found religion. But being a Christian, I experienced love, warmth, care and a personal relationship

Through a God who wants to also be a friend to me.

Why had I decided to accept Christ?

2. Coming from a Methodist School and exposed to many Christian stories and sharing, I was touched by the spirit in Primary 6.

Where and How?

3. I accepted the Lord in Secondary 1, during a Christian rally.

From CHEW MEI KUEN

God loves me and we are all beautifully and wonderfully made in His image.

Jesus died for me and bear all my sins on the cross.

(2) WHY you accepted Christ as Lord n Saviour

-I am touched by His presence.

-He is my source of strength when I feel alone and afraid.

(3) WHEN n HOW you came to know the Lord…primary/secondary school days

First got to know about Him when I entered primary. Always felt very curious whenever I’m asked to pray during morning devotion. I enjoyed the chapel session and Wednesday long chapel sessions whenever the teachers have contact time.

When I was in primary 6 in 2001, a group of Christian teachers formed the Teens Alive session every Saturday afternoon. It was my first time attending something like a Sunday school.

I look forward to going for it after my cca session every Saturday as it is the closest thing I could go to that’s like a church (my parents were non Christians then).

I enjoyed the sessions a lot and it was really my source of strength as it was my PSLE year. I rmb having teachers connecting with me and sharing about Jesus and praying together with me.

I first prayed the sinners prayer in teens alive.

I graduated to GMSS and continued to have the privilege to hear about the teachings of God.

When I was in Sec 4, my teacher invited me to her church. Although I didn’t continue at her church, it was a stepping stone for me to take the step to ask permission from my parents to attend church weekly.

I started attending church regularly since o levels.

By surrendering my life to Jesus Christ, I can live a life that is pleasing to God.

As I look back over the years, God's love and grace have seen me through ups and downs in my life. He has never once forsaken me.

I had the privilege of studying at Geylang Methodist Girls’ School where I heard the gospel of Jesus Christ in the chapel periods. Gradually I accepted Jesus Christ into my life. I started to attend the English congregation in Geylang Chinese Methodist Church when I was in secondary school.

When I was told that I had a creator who created me, I thought long and hard about it. As I look at myself thoroughly convinced that I am too well ‘organised’ and ‘orchestrated’ to exist by chance. And it made sense to me that the one who created me should own me and have full governance of me. And with that comes the understanding that I have sinned by rejecting that governance.

Why I decide to accept Christ:

The thought of God being a human being to take my place, the reality of Christ’s existence and His death for me, and when I realised that all these was not some remote history totally irrelevant to me but instead on the contrary has everything to do with me, I decided to accept Jesus as my personal Lord and saviour.

When and how:

It was in March 1972 during the holy/religious week. One afternoon during that week, I went home and listened to a song ‘Who Am I’ (someone in the house was playing the album, I stayed with my Christian relative)

            “Who am I that the king should bleed and die for,

            Who am I that He should pray not my will, Thy Lord

            I wonder what I could have done

            To deserve God’s only Son

            That to an old rugged cross He’d go for

            Who am I?”

Ya, I thought to myself; Who am I??? And with a grateful heart I went on my knees and gave this life back to my creator who rightfully owns me

During chapel worship.  I think the “seeds” have been sown.

Whenever I encounter situations or feeling down I feel uplifted with the stories of Jesus. Only accepting Christ as my Savior, I finally find peace and assurance of my purpose of life.

I believe that God is the creator of the universe and everything in it. I believe that He is the Creator/Maker of lives loves the people that he made that He gave His Son, Jesus Christ to die on the Christ as an expression of His love. That Jesus rose from the dead, to show us that we will have an eternal life with God.

Why did you accept Christ as Lord and Savior?

I believe I have sin and that every day of my life manifested in different ways (envy, pride, anger, etc) I have sinned. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ manifested the Power of God over sin and death and it is through the saving Grace of God through the Holy Spirit that i am being refined every day till Jesus comes back again.

When did you accept Christ as Lord and Saviour?

I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour in secondary school, during chapel in 1975. I was convicted of my sin as I remember how easily I can be angry with good friend that I would gossip about her so that I get other friends on my side. I also remembered that I was displaying selfish attitude by not sharing notes nor help people in need. I have always thought that I was a good girl and friend but the above were not characters of a good person, but I had caused hurts and strife between friends and classmates. When I recalled these behaviours, I know I have sinned. I asked the Lord to come into my life and change me and I know I am dependent on God’s Grace to refine me day by day till He comes back again. Thank God for coming into my life to save a sinner such as i!

Chapel was a time students sat through a series of sermons and songs. One that had left an indelible mark on me was a hymn led by a Christian worker by the name of Grace. I never had a personal encounter with her. I never spoke a word with her. But I remember her vividly because of how she had channeled the truths in this song to all of my senses through her simple worshipful singing. She was fair and had a head full of bouncy curls. In her quiet and yet jaunty way, she would sing,

This is my father’s world,

O let me ne’er forget,

that though the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the ruler yet.

This song, its music, its words continued lingering in my mind like an automatic tape recorder through my secondary years. And even to this day, its words speak to my heart through the different seasons of my life and take me close to my heavenly father’s throne.

An occasion I recalled some time back was when I was jogging along the East Coast Park. In my sweat and toil, this hymn so subtly but abruptly found its way to my lips, reverting my eyes from my heaviness to all surrounding me in my Father’s world. Sweat turned peace. Toil became joy. I’m thankful for what I’ve been given.

 As a teacher, GMS(S) 1998 -

I believe that Jesus died on cross for the forgiveness of my sins and He rose again. He is now by the side of God our Father. By His blood I am saved from eternal separation from God.

(2) WHY you accepted Christ as Lord n Saviour

Because of my immense gratitude for Christ’s act of love - that He willingly gave up His life for a wretched soul such as myself.

(3) WHEN n HOW you came to know the Lord…primary/secondary school days.

I first came to know Christ in GMPS where we were introduced to gospel songs & short sermon every morning during chapel. Then Mr Michael Koh of my Sec 1F class brought us to his church in year 1993-had great fun in activities there but no commitment (too young lah lol). Finally in Polytechnic days when my course mate brought me to an outreach event during Easter in April 1998 where I can no longer deny God’s touch.

Sylvia Chee (1985-1988)

We are lost and distracted by sins on earth, and God our Lord is our good shepherd. He died for us and took on our sins. With love, grace, and mercy from our creator, we live beyond flesh and distractions. When God is with us, there is no fear. With the fruit of the Holy Spirit, life is no longer the same as we are image-bearers of the Lord now.

(2) WHY you accepted Christ as Lord n Saviour

It is a funny story. I was a rebellious child with pride and ego since I was young haha. I was also a skeptic honestly and I only bet my chances with praying to God during difficult times in life. Not only 1 God but many "Gods". You name it, the Thai-faced Buddha, Guan-yin, 21 different statues and animals in the temple.....and even some possessed spirits recommended by my friends. With my curious nature, I would often "test" how real they are. Truly some supernatural things happened and made me believe in a creator beyond human.

You see, our world is so beautiful and delicate in design. How every cell, every electron, and every life that has formed. They are too beautiful to happen by chance, and we are the only living thing with the idea of shame without clothes (hahaha you see monkies you'll get it).

As a photography enthusiast, how every bird every feather, every sunrise, and moon set made me wonder: HOW did things find their order? What is beyond the universe?

There must be something out there.

BUT WHICH IS THE ONE TRUE GOD???

I formed poor opinions about Christians due to human behaviors and bad representations of God. To a certain extent, I was even judgemental about it.

I was challenged to pray to God when I was 29 and I thought my life had been awesome. Things changed since then. God has revealed to me in many ways (too many to describe). They left me in awe and I came to know the living God eventually. I learned to surrender myself, my arrogance, and my biased opinions.

Day by day bit by bit, faith has been strengthened. Although still being tested and probably many more to come. But I know we are weak and lost, without God there is only darkness.

(3) WHEN n HOW you came to know the Lord…primary/secondary school days

I first learned about Him in my secondary school days, never serious, just knowing that they were part of school practices.

I first considered and pondered about seeking God was sec 2 when I failed my math exam haha. Then I failed again, so I thought God must not be real.

The next try was in my late teens, friends pulled me along to some youth camp, were there for fun and didn't manage to learn about God, and formulated the idea that " people go to church for fun and entertainment only".

Was Godless for the longest time and was convinced to dislike the idea of Christianity in life.

Finally, i received Christ a year ago and that was the best choice i have made in my life.

Most importantly, looking back in my life, God was always there for me, carried me, and was patient with me. I used to ask people, " if your God desires your praise and wants people to glorify him, isn't he too superficial?"

Then I realized when you came to know God, you just wanted to do it from within, knowing how we were loved.
