Hello and welcome to David’s life testimony. Last week, we shared David’s childhood in the village where no one called him by his given name. Family members and others called him Babi which is ‘pig’ in the Malay language and his mother later called him Lebbit instead of David. Then, we shared about an event that left a deep impression on him even until today - a pre-dawn visit to a temple. Today, let us continue on what David encountered in the temple and his life as a teenager.

Hello friends! Recently, I heard a series of thought-provoking sermons by Rev Dr Roberto Betia Junior, a pastor-teacher from the Philippines. He says whether a person admits it or not, we listen to and live under authority. The people we listen to, will influence our behavior, thought patterns, choices, plans and even our attitudes, don’t you think so? Who do you listen to? In our growing up years, we listen to our parents and older family members; we listen to our teachers. At work, we listen to our bosses. Frequently, we listen to our friends.
