I grew up in a Buddhist country - China, so I have always been open for things about God. In the beginning I went to Church because my mom went to church, and people in church are very nice. And there was a young lady (my leader) who has been very patient with me, and answered me a lot of questions I had about Christianity. So I wanted to get baptised, and I believed that this God loves people, he sent his only son Jesus to the earth and died for our wrong deeds. So becoming a Christian was a decision I made which I felt was right.

Leon's testimony
My name is Leon, and I was born and raised in Oslo, Norway, and my parents are from Hong Kong.
My mom used to take me to church from when I was very young. Norway is a Christian country, so during Easter and Christmas the primary school kids have to either go to church or do something at school, usually involving eating candy, and I always chose to go to church even though it was really boring, because for me being a Christian meant I had to go to church, and I considered myself as one.

Johan's testimony
Sometimes, I really wish I could just be left alone.
That’s basically what I’ve been feeling for a long time, both before and after I became a Christian. It’s really difficult to be around people. You have to pretend to be interested in whatever they’re saying. You have to try and have some interesting things to say yourself. You have to consider other people’s wants and needs, instead of just doing whatever you want to do yourself.

Enoch's testimony
Before I became a Christian I had alot of questions about God's existence. This world couldn't possible have a God, there are too much suffering and bad things in this world. There are too many unanswered questions about this God thing.
I was born in Sweden and went to church around once a month with my parents, because the church we went to were in another city. I was going to sunday school, playing with my friends in church. All the stories about Jesus was just stories for me.

Tina's testimony (Chinese)
大家好，我的名字叫TINA，中文名字叫孙思佳。21岁. 我也是从挪威华人教会来的。 从来没有来过加拿大， 所以觉得很开心来到这里，有一次短宣的机会。 我其实从来没有在那么多人面前讲过话，也很害怕，可能是因为我是出生在上海， １３岁才搬去挪威，从小受到的教育就是只听老师的讲话，不像在国外，学校会有很多机会到台上做PRESENTATION。但是我的神可以帮助我战胜恐惧.
今天我想和你们分享我的见证，关于为什么我会信耶稣。我一开始去教会是因为我妈妈是基督徒，我刚刚到挪威的时候并不认识任何人，我妈妈觉得我能在教会找到朋友。我知道有些人会对关于神的事情，或者是对国外的宗教很排斥，但是我没有。在这方面我和开放，所以我愿意去听，去了解他们的信仰。其实一开始我根本听不太懂什么，但是我记得一个传道人姐姐她对我很有耐心，与我分享了她的信神经过，我当时会问她很多关于基督教问题，她对我真的是很有耐心，还有她的好的行为，让我相 信 她说的话。半年以后, 我决定要受洗，我妈妈还劝我等等. 太小, 当时很坚 决 的要受洗, 因为我相信有个爱我的神，为我预备了基督，为我的错死!

Nina's testimony
My name is Nina, I am 17 years old and I want to share my testimony with you today. I want to share it with you because I really hope that some of you might connect with the situations I've been through, and that hopefully, some of you might want to have a relationship with God.
So long story short: I grew up in a Christian family, went to Sunday school every Sunday and had fun. This grew boring as a became older, shy as I was at the time I took my little sister with me to join the youth group and it's been my family ever since. I became a Christian very gradually. What really sped up the process, was when God at a summer camp spoke to me through music. Music has always been a big part of my life. I play various of instruments and I sing, so when God gave me the task to lead worship in church I took it. And I've been a worship leader and a Christian ever since.

Elizabeth's testimony
Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I’m fifteen years old. Today I want to share my testimony with you and tell you about how Jesus has affected me and my perspective of life.
So I grew up in a Christian family. My parents took me and my siblings to church since I was little, and I attended Sunday school. At the beginning it was fun and I really enjoyed it. They used dolls and stuffed animals to teach us bible verses, and at the end we always got cookies and candies and stuff. But after a while, when I was around ten – eleven years old, it started to get boring. I kind of outgrew the things they did and I thought it was too childish. It led to me always trying to come up with excuses not to go to church with my parents, and eventually I quit going.

Elin's testimony
My name is Elin, and I am currently studying in England. I was brought up in Sweden, and I live in Norway.
As many of us, I was also brought up in a Christian family. I knew about the different stories in the Bible at young age, but did not understand the significance of them or of God.
When I was 12 I was asked to make a commitment to God, and I got baptised shortly after. One of the leaders asked us whether we wanted to be on God's side or our own side, and I choose to be on God's side. It was not until 2005 when I realised how my life had to be changed and how I had to start living my life differently.

Tore's testimony
My name is Tore, I'm 23 years old and I'm living in Oslo. I will share with you how I got to know Christ and how my life with Him is now.
I was born in a non-Christian family - my mother was an atheist and my father a buddhist. My father converted to Christianity when I was about 8 years old or so, and started taking me to church. It was really boring for me as it was a Chinese church and I don't understand Chinese, the only good thing about going to church was that we got juice and cookies after the service was over. After a little while being in the church I started to attend the sunday school, that was a lot better. I met new friends, we had games and story telling from the Bible, but it didn't mean anything to me, and after a while it got boring, my father had to drag me to church. Growing up I did some wrong stuff with my friends, skipped school, set the woods on fire and stole from the store, but I always ended up being caught. It could be a coincidence, but for me it feels like God stopped me everytime when I look back on it.

Our testimonies
The reason we go to Canada is not simply because we want to have fun and eat sushi buffet - We've all had experiences with God in our lives, that make us want to share His love with other people. We go on this mission trip not because we think we are better than other people and so we shall go and tell them what they should or shouldn't do - We go because we have all experienced how God loved us when we were unworthy of being loved, and we want to share how we've experienced Him in our lives. Over the next few days we will share some of the stories of how we came to know Christ.
