hello good morning church. my name is freedy prajitna and I am from 
caufield lifegroup. I am an Indonesian as you can tell from my name, 
but from my accent and behaviour you will guess that I am from 
Singapore. I spent the past 14 years of my life studying in spore 
since the age of 9, and I received Jesus to be my saviour at the age 
of 16 through hope Singapore.

I arrived in melbourne earlier this year in February to start my 
second year in monash to continue my accounting degree. I remember I 
arrived on a Saturday night and I called Corinna knowing that church 
service is on Sunday, and Justin picked me up the next morning, and I 
have been here ever since.. a proud member of the church and serving 
in kfc.

As I was preparing this testimony I sat down and reflected on how 
God’s hand has moved in my life for the past six months and my life 
has been filled with blessings.

in my personal walk with Jesus. over the past six months I have grown 
to be a more independent Christian. I don’t mean that I don’t need 
anybody, what I mean is I have grown deeper in my Christian faith. 
being in a bigger church setting in hope Singapore for the past six 
years, have allowed me to
be spoon feed with the ‘right’ Christian beliefs and values. For 
example attending lifegroup and church is important to me because 
everyone else in church is attending them. When I am here in 
melbourne, I have many moments before God when I felt ’spiritually’ 
naked because I find myself asking questions to my self that I never 
ask before. ” is attending hope church important?” in Singapore 
travelling to church is five mins but it takes me almost an hour 
coming from the city. I prayed through and begin to personalized 
Christian values and attitudes into my life. this is why I think my 
faith in Christ has become stronger.

I am blessed with a caregroup that is lead by jasmine. Jasmine is a 
leader that has a genuine heart to serve God. She is a good listener 
and has provided good advices in my life. Ian is my shepherd, despite 
the two of us shares a quite different personality we share similar 
family backgrounds and Ian always has a heart of wanting to do more 
for God.

there is still so many people and so many things that I have yet to 
experience..

I am blessed by God through this church in many ways and I am praying   
for growth in church and myself. God’s work is moving through my life 
in this church and I am excited in the days ahead with waverly church.
