I would like to share about how God has been faithful to my family, especially to my dad in terms of his career.

My dad is the sole breadwinner of my family and he works to feed a family of five. We never entertained the thought that my dad would lose his job. However, about three to four weeks before the History Maker Camp 2010, my dad had his contract terminated by his company as the company was downsizing.

We felt that the monetary compensation from my dad’s company was unfair, considering my dad had secured many deals for the company in the past and had even won a plaque for being the best performer for one of the months! My dad fought for more compensation and things got so bad that they were close to fighting it out in court. During this period, he became very moody and would sometimes lash out at us for no rhyme or reason. However, I had faith that God will deliver us.

At the camp, Pastor Benjamin shared about resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ. He also shared that Jesus has taken all our worries and pains on the cross. I believed that and had faith that God will deliver my family out of this dark period. On the last night of camp, I shared with my care group about the financial situation in my family. They prayed for my dad for a better job with a better pay package.

When I returned home from the camp, I chatted with my dad and found out that he got the compensation package that he wanted, which was almost triple the original amount! Praise God! He did not even have to spend money on legal fees and got what he wanted! That was not all. Before I could ask if he had another job, he showed me a company’s brochure that he got from a roadshow. The amazing thing was that this job is in his area of expertise, which is telecommunication equipment sales. The vice president of the sales department for this company happened to be his ex-colleague from his previous company. When the vice president saw that my dad was without a job, he quickly recruited him into his company. My dad did not even have to look for a job. The job came to him by God’s grace!

I really thank my care group and leaders for standing in faith with me. God turned my family’s financial situation around and showed His faithfulness and grace upon us! Resting in Jesus is truly the way to go, praise God!
