I was born into an ordinary family of a cadre. Having received the education of atheism from childhood, I didn’t believe there is a God in the world. When I saw my mother burning incense and worshiping Buddha, I thought that she was poorly educated and so superstitious; when others talked about deities and ghosts, I thought they were too backward, for it had been written clearly in the book that there is no Savior in the world.
One day, my cousin came to preach the kingdom gospel of Almighty God to me and bore witness that God created the heavens and earth and all things; He made mankind out of clay; and His authority and power are unique. … Hearing these words, I didn’t believe so and sarcastically said: “My cousin, you are too foolish. Where is God? The heavens and earth and all things were formed naturally, and man evolved from apes. Did you see that God created them? As a cultured person, hasn’t your studying in school been empty of meaning?” Just like that, I refused God’s salvation in the last days. Later, my cousin came to preach the gospel countless times; however, I was still unaffected until the arrival of a serious illness, which thoroughly transformed me, an atheist, and made me return to God’s house.
