Sophia
Hello everyone, my name is Sophia. I have just graduated from Grade 12, and this September I will be attending McMaster University. I hope to pursue a career in the medical field in the future.
I am grateful for God's grace and guidance. On December 28 of last year, I was baptized here and had the privilege of becoming a sister in Christ—a daughter of God's Kingdom. Through the church, I have received God's provision and discipline, experienced Him, grown to know Him, and learned to depend on Him more deeply.
I have been part of Saskatoon Chinese Alliance Church for almost five years. During that time, I have grown from a young and inexperienced child into a young adult.
I would especially like to thank the pastors of our church, including Pastor Kaan, Pastor Chu, Pastor Huang, and Pastor Zhang, for their continued pastoral care and teaching. They have always been role models for me in my faith.
To every brother and sister here, you have all been spiritual mentors to me. Thank you for your care, support, and guidance over the years, especially for the encouragement and advice you gave me while I was waiting to begin university.
I would also like to give special thanks to Uncle Thian-Peng for his spiritual companionship and guidance. He even prepared a series of discipleship training courses specifically for David and me and patiently answered our many questions. Beyond this, he has invested so much time and energy in supporting us in our daily lives and guiding us in church ministry. I am deeply grateful.
I am also thankful for Angie and Gordon from the youth fellowship, as well as all the brothers and sisters in the youth group, for accompanying and encouraging me along the way. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to serve in the church and experience the joy of working together with God.
There are so many unforgettable people and experiences, and God's blessings are far too numerous to count. There is also one more thing I will never forget: the church potlucks. The food prepared by all the uncles and aunties was truly amazing!
Whether it was a church meal or time spent in the homes of families who warmly welcomed us, these experiences left a deep impression on me and allowed me to feel the warmth of a large family. Through your thoughtful and constant care, God showed me just how deeply He loves me.
As I prepare to move to a new city to live and study, I will carry with me the blessings and encouragement I have received from this church. I will also share the love and warmth I have experienced here with others without holding anything back.
At university, I will actively look for a local church and youth fellowship so that I can continue seeking God and growing in my Christian faith. I am willing to entrust the road ahead completely to the Lord. I pray that He will continue to guide me and help me follow Him faithfully throughout my life.
Finally, I would also like to congratulate the grandparents who are being baptized today. As you entrust everything to the Lord, may He give you peace, joy, and strength from above. May you experience even more of His grace and faithfulness in the days ahead.
David
Hello everyone, my name is David. I am very happy and honored to have another opportunity to share with you today. Like Sophia, I will be moving to Hamilton this September to study Engineering at McMaster University.
I would especially like to thank all the pastors, ministers, brothers, and sisters in our church. I still remember when I first came to this church in October 2021. At that time, I did not know very much about the Christian faith. It was through your patient teaching, companionship, and care that I gradually came to understand the gospel and build my own faith step by step.
I will always remember the moment when I made my decision to follow Christ in front of Uncle Thian-Peng. I am deeply grateful to Uncle Thian-Peng, Auntie Sinnie, and their family for preparing the discipleship training course for us, supporting us in our daily lives, and guiding us in church ministry. May the Lord remember everything you have done. Through your example, I learned that faith is not only about listening to sermons or gaining knowledge, but also about learning to depend on God and follow Him in our everyday lives.
I am also very thankful to Pastor Zhang for his careful teaching and guidance. Through the baptism classes and membership classes, I began to think more seriously about my relationship with God, and I made the important decision to entrust my life to Him. By God's grace, I was baptized at the end of last year and publicly declared my faith before God and the church.
I would also like to thank Pastor Chu for baptizing us. To me, baptism was not simply a ceremony. It represented my decision to follow the Lord throughout my life and to place both my present and my future into His hands.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Angie and Gordon for their leadership and companionship in the youth fellowship, Uncle Edward, and everyone who has cared for, taught, and supported us throughout these years. I am also thankful for all the brothers and sisters I have served alongside, as well as every friend in the youth fellowship.
There are also many brothers and sisters who have quietly served the church in different roles. Whether you maintain the church building, prepare the rooms, or take care of the many responsibilities that others may not see, your service allows us to worship God and grow in our faith in a warm and peaceful environment. Although I cannot mention everyone by name, I will always remember the kindness and support you have shown me. May the Lord remember the service and dedication of every brother and sister.
Proverbs 3:5–6 says:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him,and he will make your paths straight."
As I prepare to begin university, I know that there will be many unknowns, new environments, and new challenges ahead of me. However, I want to continue learning to depend on God instead of relying only on my own abilities and understanding. I believe that no matter what lies ahead, God will continue to guide me and give me the strength and wisdom I need at every stage of my life.
Finally, I would also like to congratulate the two seniors who are being baptized today. May God continue to guide you, help you know Him more deeply, and allow you to experience more of His grace in the days ahead. May all of us continue to trust in the Lord faithfully and follow Him throughout our lives.
Thank you to every pastor, minister, and brother and sister at Saskatoon Chinese Alliance Church. No matter where I go in the future, I will always remember the teaching, companionship, and love I have received here over the past five years. I will carry your blessings with me as I continue working toward my dreams, and I pray that the Lord will continue to guide the path ahead of me.
Thank you, everyone.
XiaoYing's Parents
Dear brothers and sisters, peace be with you!
Today is August 2, 2026.
Today, my wife and I were baptized, officially becoming disciples of Jesus Christ and accepting Him as our Savior. This is the most memorable and unforgettable day of our lives.
At this moment, with a heart full of gratitude and joy, I would like to share with you our journey from being atheists to fully accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior.
Thanks be to God!
1. My Story — Before Believing
In May 2018, my wife and I came from China to Saskatoon, Canada, to visit family. Led by our daughter, we attended the Chinese church almost every Sunday and began to encounter the Bible.
At first, we could hardly understand anything — it felt like listening to a completely foreign language. But whenever the worship team sang hymns, the beautiful melodies deeply drew us in. Later, the church held a Xiao Cao (Little Grass) hymn concert, which gave us a new appreciation of the Christian faith.
In November of that year, we returned to China. Back home, without church life or anyone to guide us, we no longer had any opportunity to engage with the Bible.
In April 2023, we came to Canada again and returned to the Chinese church. By then, in addition to the Sunday sermons, the church had added the Saturday "Five Loaves and Two Fish" learning program. There, everyone studied the Bible together, watched gospel films, shared testimonies with one another, and discussed questions of faith. Through this rich learning, we began to know God little by little, and to think about the true meaning of life.
However, because of visa and time constraints, we returned to China in October 2023, and once again lost the opportunity to attend church gatherings and study the Bible.
2. My Testimony — How We Were Saved
At the end of July 2025, we came to Canada for the third time.
This time, we returned to the Chinese church. Every Sunday we listened to the pastor's sermon; every Saturday we joined the "Five Loaves and Two Fish" study; and we were placed in an Alpha group, learning and sharing the Bible together with brothers and sisters.
Through one lesson after another, and one real, living testimony after another, God kept opening our hearts. We gradually came to see that Jesus Christ is the true God, the Lord who created heaven and earth and all things, and the Savior of the world.
We also began to understand the truth of the Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and to recognize that the center of the whole Bible is Jesus Christ. As the Lord Jesus said:
"These are the very Scriptures that testify about me." (John 5:39)
The Bible transcends culture, time, and place. It satisfies the deepest needs of the human heart, gives true wisdom, and has become the spiritual food of our lives.
Looking back on these years of coming to know God — from not understanding and not accepting at first, to fully believing today — we could not have walked this road without the teaching of the pastors, ministers, and elders, and without the care, help, and companionship of our brothers and sisters all along the way.
For this reason, this past February — on my birthday — my wife and I made our prayer of commitment to Christ, led by one of the church elders.
Today, witnessed by our brothers and sisters, we have been baptized and have officially become disciples of Jesus Christ.
This is another major turning point in our lives. From now on, may we let the Lord's word govern our speech and conduct, follow the example of Christ, and keep growing in our faith.
3. God's Promise to Us — After Believing
Our study of the Bible has only just begun, and our understanding of God's word is still very shallow.
We plan to return to China this October. Although we may not have the same good learning environment and church life after we return, we will take the Bible back with us, keep reading Scripture and praying, continue to study earnestly, and strive to be rooted in God's word.
Finally, we thank the pastors, ministers, elders, and all the brothers and sisters for their constant care, companionship, and prayers.
May all glory be to God!
Amen!
Sophia
大家好，我是 Sophia，现在高中12年级毕业，9月起我将前往McMaster大学，希望未来从事医学方面工作。
感谢神的恩典和带领，去年12月28日我就是在这里受洗，有幸成为一名主内姊妹--天国的女儿，在教会接受神的供应和管教，经历神、认识神、更加依靠神。
我已在沙城宣道会接近五年的时间，从懵懵懂懂的小孩步入青年队列。
我要特别感谢教会的牧者和师母们，这里有简牧师、朱牧师、黄传道、张传道，他们一直以来的牧养与教导。他们也一直是我在信仰上的榜样。
这里每一位弟兄姊妹，你们都是我的属灵导师，感谢一直以来对我的关怀、照顾和栽培。特别在我等待大学的日子里给予我鼓励和建议。
在此特别感谢添平叔叔的属灵陪伴和引领，还特为我和David专门开设系列门徒装备课程，时常为我们答疑解惑。除了这些，他无论是生活上还是教会事奉上都投入了大量精力，非常非常感恩。
还有Youth的Angie和Gordon，以及青少年弟兄姊妹们一路陪伴与鼓励。感恩我能有幸参加教会的服事，来感知与神同工的喜悦。
难忘人和事有很多很多，神的恩典更是数算不完。对，还有一件最为难忘的，就是教会的百家饭，叔叔阿姨们的手艺真是太棒了！！无论是教会的聚餐，还是每个热心接待过我们的家庭，都给我留下了深刻的印象，让我在这里感受到大家庭的温暖。神通过你们无微不至的关怀告诉我，神他有多爱我！
即将前往新的城市生活和学习，我也必会带着教会所给予我的祝福和鼓励，以及在这里所领受的爱和温暖，毫无保留的分享给更多的人。我也会在大学积极寻找当地的教会和青年团契，继续追求神，在基督信仰之路上不断成长。我愿意把前面的道路完全交托给主，求祂继续带领我，一生忠心跟随祂。
最后，也在这里我祝贺今天受洗的爷爷奶奶，把一切交托给主，愿主赐给你们平安、喜乐和属天的力量，在未来的日子里更加经历祂的恩典与信实。
David
大家好，我叫 David。很高兴，也很荣幸今天再次有机会和大家分享。和 Sophia 一样，我也即将在今年九月前往哈密尔顿，就读麦克马斯特大学工程专业。
我特别感谢各位牧师、传道，以及教会里的每一位弟兄姊妹。还记得2021年10月刚来到教会的时候，我对信仰的了解并不多。是大家一次又一次耐心的教导、陪伴和关心，让我慢慢认识福音，也一步一步建立起自己的信仰。
我永远都记得自己在添平叔叔面前决志的那个场景。感谢添平叔叔和 Sinnie 阿姨一家，为我们预备门徒装备课程，也在生活中陪伴我们，在教会的服事中带领我们。求主纪念你们一直以来的付出，让我明白信仰不只是听道和学习知识，更是在每天的生活中学习依靠神、跟随神。
我也非常感谢张传道精心的培训和教导。在受洗课程和会友班中，我开始更加认真地思考自己和神之间的关系，也郑重地决定将自己的一生交托给主。感谢主的恩典，我在去年年底接受了洗礼，在神和众人面前公开见证自己的信仰。
也特别感谢朱牧师为我们施洗。对我来说，受洗不只是一个仪式，更代表着我愿意一生跟随主，并把自己的现在和未来都交托在祂的手中。
同时，我也想借这个机会，感谢 Angie 和 Gordon 在青年团契中的带领和陪伴，感谢 Edward 叔叔，以及所有这些年来一直关心、教导和帮助我们的人。也感谢曾经和我一起同工的弟兄姊妹，以及青年团契里的每一位朋友。
除此之外，教会里还有许多弟兄姊妹，一直在不同的岗位上默默服事。无论是维护教会、预备场地，还是处理许多大家看不见的事务，你们的付出都让我们能够在一个温暖、平安的环境中敬拜神、认识神。虽然我没有办法一一说出大家的名字，但我一直记得你们给予我的帮助和关爱，也求主纪念每一位弟兄姊妹的摆上。
《箴言》三章五至六节说：
“你要专心仰赖耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明；在你一切所行的事上，都要认定他，他必指引你的路。”
马上就要进入大学，我知道未来会有很多未知，也会面对新的环境和新的挑战。但我愿意继续学习依靠神，不只依靠自己的能力和聪明。我相信，无论前面的道路如何，神都会继续带领我，也会在每一个阶段赐给我所需要的力量和智慧。
最后，我也想祝贺今天接受洗礼的两位爷爷奶奶。愿神继续带领你们，使你们在未来的日子里更多地认识祂、经历祂的恩典，也愿我们每一个人都能够坚定地信靠主，一生跟随主。
谢谢沙城宣道会的每一位牧者和弟兄姊妹。无论以后我走到哪里，我都会记得这五年来在这里所领受的教导、陪伴和爱。我也会带着大家的祝福，继续努力向前，并求主继续引导我未来的道路。
谢谢大家。
XiaoYing父母
弟兄姐妹平安！
今天是2026年8月2日。
今天，我们夫妇接受了洗礼，正式成为耶稣基督的门徒，并接受耶稣基督作我们的救主。这是我们夫妇一生中最值得纪念、最难忘的日子。
此刻，我怀着万分感恩和激动的心情，与大家分享我们从一个无神论者，到完全接受耶稣基督作我们救主的心路历程。
感谢神！
一、我的故事——信主之前
我们夫妇于2018年5月从中国来到加拿大萨斯卡通探亲。在女儿的带领下，我们几乎每个星期天都到华人教会聚会，开始接触圣经。
刚开始，我们几乎什么都听不懂，感觉像在听天书一样，无法理解圣经所讲的内容。但每当敬拜团队唱赞美诗时，那优美的旋律却深深吸引着我们。后来，教会举办了一场"小草诗歌演唱会"，使我们对基督信仰开始有了新的认识。
同年十一月，我们回到中国。回国以后，因为没有教会生活，也没有人带领，我们就再没有机会接触圣经。
2023年4月，我们再次来到加拿大，继续来到华人教会聚会。这时教会除了星期天的主日讲道外，又增加了星期六的"五饼二鱼"学习活动。
在那里，大家一起学习圣经、观看福音影片、彼此分享见证、讨论信仰问题。这些丰富的学习内容，使我们开始一点一点认识神，也开始思考人生真正的意义。
然而，由于签证和时间的原因，我们于2023年10月再次回国。回国以后，又失去了继续参加教会聚会和学习圣经的机会。
二、我的见证——得救经历
2025年7月底，我们第三次来到加拿大。
这一次，我们重新回到了华人教会。每个星期天聆听牧师讲道，每个星期六参加"五饼二鱼"学习，并分到了启发小组，与弟兄姐妹一起学习、分享《圣经》。
通过一次又一次的学习，一个又一个真实鲜活的见证，神不断打开我们的心。我们渐渐认识到，耶稣基督是真神，是创造天地万物的主，也是拯救世人的救主。
我们也开始明白圣父、圣子、圣灵三位一体的真理，更认识到整本圣经的中心就是耶稣基督。正如主耶稣所说：
"给我作见证的，就是这经。"（约翰福音 5:39）
圣经超越文化、时代和地域，能够满足人内心最深的需要，赐给人真正的智慧，成为我们生命的灵粮。
回顾这几年来认识神的过程，我们从最初的不理解、不接受，到今天完全相信，这一路走来，离不开牧师、传道、长老的教导，也离不开弟兄姐妹一路以来的关心、帮助和陪伴。
为此，我们夫妇在今年二月——也就是我生日那一天，在长老的带领下作了决志祷告。
今天，在众弟兄姐妹的见证下，我们接受了洗礼，正式成为耶稣基督的门徒。
这是我们夫妇人生中的又一个重大转折。愿我们今后以主的话语规范自己的言行，效法基督，在信仰中不断成长。
三、神给我们的应许——信主之后
目前，我们对圣经的学习才刚刚开始，对神的话语理解和认识还十分肤浅。
我们计划在今年10月份回国。虽然回国以后可能没有现在这样良好的学习环境和教会生活，但我们会把圣经带回去，坚持读经、祷告，继续认真学习，努力扎根在神的话语中。
最后，感谢牧师、传道、长老以及所有弟兄姐妹一直以来的关心、陪伴和代祷。
愿一切荣耀都归给神！
阿们！
