Ah Yin

Ah Yin grew up in a hundred square feet with seven people, a turtle, a goldfish, and a cat.

His mother sold newspapers outside in Kowloon City at a newspaper stall, and his father was a drug addict. And so he had to look after his younger sisters and could not be educated.

Of course, he joined a gang, and they moved six or seven times, and he ended up in prison many times. Absolutely hopeless, couldn't see any way out—until he met Jesus in the Walled City when he worshipped with us and never looked back.

Well, that's not quite true. He came off drugs painlessly by praying in tongues, but then, a few months after living with us, he had a stroke and was in hospital for a year. He taught himself to speak by worshipping all the way through our songbook with a recorder, and he taught himself to walk.

So he's somebody that knows sadness and courage, and he's the one that all our people go to when they're in trouble because they know he's suffered and has come through with Jesus. And many of his family have come to Jesus since then.

阿賢的故事

阿賢從小生活在一個只有一百呎的小單位裏，那裏擠著七個人、一隻烏龜、一條金魚，還有一隻貓。

他的母親在九龍城寨外的報攤賣報紙，父親則沉溺於毒海。為了照顧妹妹們，他小小年紀就得負起家計，根本沒有機會接受教育。

後來，他無奈加入了黑幫。他們一家搬了六、七次家，而他也數度進出監獄，陷入徹底的絕望之中，看不到人生有任何出路——直到他在城寨遇見了耶穌。那時他與我們一同敬拜讚美，從此再也沒有回頭。

不過，這樣說也不完全精準。他起初透過方言禱告，無痛地成功戒毒；但在與我們同住幾個月後，他不幸中風，被迫住院治療了一整年。在醫院裏，他跟著錄音機播放的敬拜歌曲，看著我們的詩歌本，一遍又一遍地重新練習說話；他更咬緊牙關，重新一步步學會走路。

因此，他是個歷經磨難、卻又無比勇敢的人。每當我們當中有任何人遇到困難或挫折，大家總會第一時間去找他傾訴，因為大家都知道他親身經歷過極大的苦難，並且靠著耶穌勝過了這一切。自那時起，他的許多家人也陸續歸信了耶穌。
