who is the god?

Several years ago, I was sitting with a group of college students at a coffee shop. The conversation was casual, nothing too serious. Then one of the students asked me first in Chinese and then in English, “who is your god?” Wow! The question caught me of guard. Never before in my whole life had someone actually asked me who my god was—as if there was more than one! I responded humbly in Chinese, “I am a Christian; Jesus is my God.”

About a year ago, another college student asked me, “Manda, who is the God? What is his name?” Again, I told this dear friend that I followed Christ Jesus.

Then, tonight, after telling another Taiwanese college student about how God had changed my life, the student said to me, “I would like to trust a god, but I don’t know which god I should trust. Which god do you worship?”
When was the last time someone wanted to know which god you were talking about? Although I live on “the island of a thousand gods” (title of a brochure I picked up at the airport), it’s not exactly a question I ever get used to being asked.

Please pray for:

–my former student and friend, KL, who is asking great questions about God, that he finds salvation in the one True God.
–my other students, that they too will desire to know Jesus.
–me, that I will have the wisdom to explain in my limited Chinese and/or simple English the inconceivable mysteries of our incredible God.

Thanks,
Amanda
