| 林書豪Jeremy Lin, NBA player, New Taipei , 2. Sept 2012 |
Xinchuang, New Taipei.
The 24 years old Lin, who is right on a nine-day visit in Taiwan, gave his testimony at the event titled “Jeremy Lin's miracle night.” More than 700 churches island-wide had committed to support the event with participants. One of his stories was about how God helped him make his incredible rise from the New York Knicks bench to global stardom.
"In this I experienced God. If one of the 13 steps I had to go through would be missing I could not be who I am today," he said. Looking back, Lin said, his rookie year in the NBA belonged to his hardest times ever in his short life. In his first month he felt so depressed by his failure that he kept wondering why he was there. It was not until his breakthrough games in February this year, Lin said, that he really understood “why I am here.” -
Then was another interesting lesson he shared. "Soon I had reached more than I ever dreamed. I had everything I ever wanted, but I realized men always wants more. There was a deep whole inside me, an emptiness."
Then he decided not to play for his own glory but for God's and not to constantly live up to other peoples expectations, but to shape his life before God. “Every game, I tried to play my hardest for God,” the 24-year-old point guard said.
According to Good TV Broadcasting Corp., which organized the event, more than 7000 fans listened to visiting NBA star Jeremy Lin. He is a devout Christian and told his Taiwanese friends in the Xinzhuang Arena in New Taipei City how he had experienced the living God in his short career as a NBA player.
Lin lives up to his faith and wondered why on the advertisements were such big pictures about him. He believes there is only one that really counts: Jesus and he deserves alone to be worshipped, not men.
According to our numbers (CCEA website).and what the GOOD TV organizers shared, we did sent out 4000 printed tickets to 400 churches, but another 300+ churches registered on Good TV's internet order service.

and articles. It was probably the biggest ever event with the highest number of participants worldwide started and organized by Taiwan Christians. Pray for our churches in Taiwan, when we do the follow up for the many who wants to learn about Christ in Alpha - and other seekers courses. - Also this Jeremy's videos are installed as resource on internet for many who were not able to attend or make time to hear him "live". If prayer does not decreases, Roman's 5:3-5, the theological background of his testimony, could even touch many more peoples life and convince them of what is behind "Linsanity", Jesus himself.
