‘Friends in Lutheran’
by Lisa Han, a 2010 In-Depth Bible Seminar participant
(Ed. note: The following article has not been edited or changed. It is hoped that you would receive encouragement to be "Lutheran-minded" people.)
About my story, the experience in Lutheran plays an important role on my life in United States. I came to the United States last year. It was not easy for me at the first month because my English was not good at that time and I was too timid to say "hi" to others. But then I joined English class and Bible study which Lutheran provides. Now, not only does my voice become louder, but also I become confident. It is Lutheran that helps me to improve my English skill and to become confident when talking with others in English.
Friends in Lutheran are all very nice and kindhearted. Once I went to supermarket for shopping, but left some items when checked out. My friend in Lutheran gave me a ride to fetch them even if we just knew each other. Another friend also gives me a lot of advices when I‘m going to buy a car. Until now, I still like to contact my friends in Lutheran when I need help. It is undeniable that my life in United States is pleasant because of them-"Friends in Lutheran."
Sometimes, I wonder why Christians are so friendly and nice to everyone, now I get the answer: it is God, it is believe in Jesus. So thank God, thank the gifts from God to meet you my Christian friends.
