1-Min Story
We have gone to 19 countries and regions, and 124 cities/towns, where we have had countless
amazing experiences and witnessed the power of God to change lives.
Through the 1-minute story, we would like to share with you our journey on the “front lines”,
how God has done miraculous works through us, and how we have learned through worshipping Him.
Our journey continues…
If we continue to wallow in the pain of our past, we will never be able to move forward.
If you ask me how I face my adversities, I’ll tell you that it has made me examine how deeply I know God.
So sometimes even after the team led a worship session where the audience was very touched, we do not feel the sense of accomplishment we expect.
I have been working in a hospital for a long time and have gotten used to a very hectic workplace. Because I have always been very impatient by nature…
Serving in China, we often have to use equipment that is different from what we’re used to. If you’ve ever been to one of our jnX concerts, you may know that we’d spend a lot of time doing …
I thank God that through my experiences in church, He has helped me to understand that music is not simply a tool to show off my talents. …
How have you changed after participating in a jnX training workshop?
Since my first jnX trip to Asia in 2000, I’ve been inspired to learn and teach others about worship.
Through God’s leading, I officially joined jnX in 2013.
It does not take long for one to notice that the living standard in Sichuan is lower than in San Jose.
Among the many people (50+?) that came to us for prayer, I prayed for two weary souls who had been looking for a job for a very long time with no luck.
It seems that on every jnX mission trip, someone (especially Anthony Chan!) will get injured in one way or another, whether it be wounds, burns, illnesses, or stolen laptops. We would come back with scars and share these “war stories” for years to come.
If I had to sum up one of the most important lessons that I’d been learning with jnX throughout the years, it would be a lesson in flexibility.
We have this running joke with the team that we’d be lucky to get the worship set of songs from Anthony 30 minutes before we start.
Even now God still gives me tests at different stages to challenge my confidence….I can often feel my strength is not enough, or wonder if I have misheard God’s voice? A few years ago, God spoke to me again, and exhorted me to join the jnX family.
I wrote the lyrics for the song “I’m Willing To Be Broken” during the time when I felt the most helpless and miserable; yet, it was also/exactly when God broke and re-formed me the most.
Sometimes, you can be your greatest enemy. Satan is very good at tricking you with lies. Growing up singing, friends often assumed that I had a lot of confidence and enjoyed being the center of attention.
One time, when I was serving at a church worship event in China with jnX, there was an elderly pianist practicing. She was playing the piano so forcefully that the keys were about to break. The pianist only used one tonic chord to accompany the entire hymn. With what I saw and heard, I could not help but burst out laughing.
This past October, I had the opportunity to provide training for choir members from 41 churches in an farming community in China. It was too impractical logistically for me to train every choir member, so each church selected the 2 most skilled members as representatives to come and learn.
