Testimony     by Catherine McVey

I have always considered myself a good person; after all I am a Primary School Teacher, I try to be kind, stick vaguely to the Ten Commandments and go to church when absolutely necessary, like for Christmas or weddings.   I was not raised in a Christian home as my parents always left any decisions about faith entirely up to us as individuals.  When I made a full recovery from a serious illness 5 years ago, my mom decided to become a Christian and ever since then has been gently urging me (her words!) to do an Alpha course.  I have always had every excuse under the sun:  too busy working; having babies; moving (we have lived in 3 different countries in the last 4 years) etc.  We moved to Kuala Lumpur last year and I did not have any more excuses, so I did a Google search for Alpha courses and came upon St Andrews.  One Tuesday evening in February I came to the welcome evening all on my own and feeling very nervous.  I was greeted by heaps of warm and friendly people and left feeling much better although not before bursting into floods of tears in my car afterwards.  I thought this was a bit strange since Christianity is supposed to be joyous but I didn’t then realise the significance of that moment and the ensuing feeling of pure relief and peace that followed and has not left me since. When Pastor Keith asked me early on in Alpha if I attended the church I said not, as Sunday really wasn’t a good day for me, I go to the gym and have lots of other things to do!   I decided that I want to be baptised to make a public admission of how I want to be from now on and how I intend to lead my life.
