David Mukhia is a young Christian who has been worshipping with us at LCBC for two years. He plays guitar and has regularly played with the Music Group and contributed greatly to worship in this way. He is currently back in India making plans to study at Bible College, but before he left he shared his story with us. Here is part 1.
'One day I went to church with my sister to see what Christianity is all about. But when I entered the church for first time, I saw young people playing an instrument and singing.
'One day I went to church with my sister to see what Christianity is all about. But when I entered the church for first time, I saw young people playing an instrument and singing.
I had no idea what they were doing but only the thing stuck in my mind were the instruments.
After the church service a youth leader said to me, “We are glad to have you here with us and you are most welcome to join us any time you like.” My first question was, “Am I allowed to play the guitar?”
She said; “Yes!”
So I started going to church but just to play the guitar. Beside this, I had no other interest in going to church. But as time passed on, I began thinking, “Why am I here in the church?” Every time I heard the sermon during the church service, I felt that the scripture was only for me.
I had peace in my heart when I started going to church. Gradually I realised that it was God’s love that dragged me to the church and my relationship became stronger with God.'
