Nandin's Story

When I was small I used to go to church when there was a party. But when I was in the eighth grade my life suddenly lost all its meaning and many questions arose in my life as a result: "What am I living for? Why will I die? What is it necessary to live for? Is it to wear nice clothes? Is it to have a nice family?" But it was very hard to answer such questions and I wondered for what purpose this human animal lived on this earth.

These things made my head spin and caused me much suffering. But one day I was going to play basketball with a friend, when without thinking I went into a church prayer meeting where singing was going on. I thought of the words I'd heard and when I sat down and closed my eyes, suddenly tears began to flow of their own accord, and I realised that the thing I had been seeking was Jesus Christ and so I received Him into my heart.

After believing in God my life became meaningful, and I accepted that the thing I had to do was to proclaim the good news. My life was full of joy and purpose. And so one Friday when attending an evangelism conference, for the first time I heard about how hard things are in North Korea. I don't know why my heart was touched, but I decided to go there and spread the good news. I cried much and I realised that if the Lord wanted to use me like this I needed to know Him better. I also knew that I needed to prepare well for that place and I began to pray that He would help me.

After graduating from the eleventh grade I wanted to enter the evangelism class of another Bible school but because I had not been baptised for long enough I couldn't and so I thought of going to a secular university, but because I was too late I had to wait for a year. It was very hard not being able to study for a year. I tried to get a job but because I couldn't at all, I became depressed and wondered what was happening. And so I said, "OK God, I will just serve in my church this year" which is what I did. And so in May the next year I thought I would enter the other college. But strangely I filled out application forms to enter UBTC. Actually I thought I could never study at this college because I would never be able to pay the fees. But I knew I needed to be well trained and that I would need a profession to do and teach if I was to work in North Korea. I took the entrance exam and prayed that if God wanted it He would allow me to enter this college. And so God opened the door to this college for me. Now I very much want to follow His will so that I can know Him better and become His witness.
