Before knowing Jesus, Vanh* struggled with a serious eye problem. He went for medical treatment and tried different solutions, but there was no improvement.
One day, a woman told him that only Christ could heal him. After hearing this, he decided to go to church and place his faith in Jesus. Not long after, Vanh experienced healing in his eyes. He said that he now realises that God called him not only to heal his eyes, but to save his life. This miracle became a turning point in his life, leading Vanh to commit fully to following Christ.
Wanting to learn more about his new faith, Vanh, who lives in South East Asia in a Buddhist-majority country, asked if he could attend a TeenStreet camp. Although the event was designed for teenagers, Vanh was 30 years old, but described himself as a “teenager in Christ.”
During the camp, Vanh shared that he had found it difficult to understand the Bible. When he read Scripture, it felt as if he were simply reading stories without knowing how to apply them to his daily life. During the camp sessions, he listened very attentively to the teaching. The facilitator didn’t know Vanh was a new believer, but noticed his maturity and asked him to facilitate a Discovery Bible Study (DBS) small group.
After the small group session, Vanh shared how meaningful the experience was for him. The simple guiding questions helped him understand Scripture in a practical and personal way. His testimony is a reminder of how God continues to work powerfully in the lives of new believers and uses simple tools to deepen their understanding of His Word.
Please pray for this “teenager in Christ” and other young believers from Buddhist backgrounds across South East Asia to continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord.
