EVE  WU | Canada       I was saved on Oct 1, 2010 at approximately 11:00 PM in Incheon church, Korea.I am a Canadian living in Canada. In the summer of 2008, I met Mr. Go Eom Su (an Incheon church member) when I was working in Toronto. He was with a group of English teachers from Incheon who came to Canada to learn more ways to teach English to students in Korea. The group of teachers were staying and studying at Humber College, and I was working there as the Head Counselor of an English Language Program. Since both the teachers and participants of the language program were staying on school residence, I had many opportunities to interact with the teachers and I became quite close to a small group of teachers that included Mr. Go.It was during that time that I first found out that Mr. Go was a Christian and attended church regularly. At the time, I didn't know what church he attended, all I knew was that every Sunday he would go to church. Through our interactions, I got to know him quite well and found that he is a really sincere and nice person. Thus, even after the program ended, I continued to stay in touch with him via email and phone calls.Initially, our email and phone conversations revolved around the events in our lives. But little by little, Mr. Go started sharing with me passages from the bible in emails and also in phone conversations. The process was very gradual and, eventually, by the start of this year, the bulk of our conversations revolved around the bible. At around March of 2010, I told Mr. Go my plan of visiting Korea in September & October. I planned to travel with a friend, and originally, our plan was for both my friend and I to arrive in Korea on October 2nd. But when Mr. Go found out that my schedule was flexible and that it was possible for me to arrive a few days earlier, he invited me to do so and said that he would like to spend some time with me to show me something. After I agreed, he sent me the book "Greater Love Has No One Than This" for me to read. He told me that the book was being read by all the members in his church and that it would be a very good thing for me to read. When I received the book, I read it first myself and later we read through different parts of the book together while using Internet Telephone. Whenever I had questions, he was able to answer them and also direct me to many passages in the Bible. That was not the first time I was introduced to the Bible. My mom has brought me to church since I was young, but my heart and my mind were never open to the messages. I never felt comfortable at church. I always felt out of place and didn't understand why I had to be there. Going to church felt like a form of punishment and I always tried to find ways to get out of it. When I got older, I started to really formulate doubts about God's existence and the bible. I always thought to myself, "If God is real, why does He let bad things happen to innocent people? If God does exist, why does He not punish people who do bad things?' When no one could give me a satisfactory answer, I continued to believe that God doesn't exist and that the bible is just a story and there is no truth to it. Moreover, I was also disappointed by the actions and b
