Hello my brothers and sisters in Christ,

I’ve posted two articles which would tell you much about me...

How I found Jesus through the number ‘888’

I would like to give a testimony of how I found Jesus in the summer of 1997, June 1997 to be specific. First of all, due to the atrocities or evil acts that I have witnessed from April 1975 to mid 1980, from twelve to seventeen years of age, I have denied all God’s existence or any of His manifestations as well as any religions. I became an atheist. Before I move on to how I found Jesus through numbers, I would like to tell you some of the details of the evil acts that I have had to witness or experience.
Both of my parents served in the military. When the communist faction took over Cambodia in 1975, one of the first things that they did was to execute all military officers. My father was one of them. They shipped all the officers to a remote location for mass execution. Fortunately, my father didn’t get killed. He came back home with a wounded arm. Three months later, they found him and executed him. This time, it was in my presence. That was the first evil act that I have witnessed. Then, they split my family apart. They sent me to work in the rice fields, sixteen hours a day seven days a week. I was almost starved to death. Due to the war in the country within many factions, including the Vietnamese army, I was pushed into a Thai refugee camp. While in the camp, I joined the orphaned group and the leader of the orphaned group took me in as his brother. Three months later, my new brother and I landed in the United States, or the heaven on earth.
From September 1980 to present, I have been living in the United States. It was very hard at first, but I expected nothing from America. I accepted whatever America offered me which turned out to be more than I expected. When I first arrived in America, I had nothing. I mean really nothing; no money, no education and knew nothing about the English language. One decision that I made that changed the course of my life was to go to school and the determination to stay in school. I spent my first eight years in school while in America. In 1988, I received my degree in Electrical Engineering. My belief in education pulled me out of poverty. Then in the summer of 1997, I found God or rather God has found me.
In June 1997, on Friday to be specific, the operator of my company in Minnesota called me in to fix the computer software called the State Estimator. I arrived at work around 6 am. I struggled to fix the program for about two hours. This had never happened to me before. Then I heard the “Voice” that said “why don’t you pray on it!” I said no and I denied the “Voice”. Then the “Voice” became more clear and stronger. Out of desperation, I placed my hands on the monitors and said “Whoever you are, please help me.” When I opened my eyes, the program solved again and displayed a timestamp, “08:08:08”, as a completion time for analyzing the power system or the power grid. I was intrigued with the numbers and thought that these numbers most have a religious meaning, involving God. But how do I know which god? Was it Allah, Jesus, Buddha or Hindu’s gods? I could not confirm it. So, I moved on with other life pressing tasks.
Then, the numbers “888” appeared to me again during lunch time. And then again at around 1 pm. That got me thinking and I entered it in the internet searching engine. The result blew my mind away. It said that “888” is a number that belongs to Jesus as it is a summation through His name of the Greek alphabet. I broke down and cried. I stopped working for the rest of the day and searched and learned about Jesus as well as His Father. Before I went home, I placed my hands on the monitor, said the prayer, gave my life to Jesus and I became the follower of Jesus Christ ever since.


A summary of my life

My triumphs and struggles!

In 1980, at 17 years old, I arrived in America with nothing, no education, no money and I knew nothing about the English language.

In 1988, I received my degree in electrical engineering. I found a job soon after my graduation. Between 1988 and 2018, I have earned over 2 million dollars. I started a family and I bought a home.

In 1997, I was diagnosed with PTSD and Bipolar. I struggled with it ever since.

By 2019, I lost them all. I lost my family, my home, my money, my job and my health. I have attempted suicide three times. I’m in group home right now.

My friends told me to start it over and that I don’t have the right to take my life, only God.

My faith in God keeps me alive. I’m Job in modern time.

Manny blessings,
Adam

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to ChristianForums.

In the book Transformed By The Light Dr. Melvin Morse refers to a study done on people who had attempted suicide recently. One group was simply given near death experience accounts to read and zero people in that group attempted suicide again duration of the study.

If you are interested I would start with the NDE of then three year old Colton Burpo because it verifies the basics of the gospel.

The Colton Burpo testimony of heaven?

I wrote an e-mail to my wife on August 8, 2000 and she was somethow told by Jesus that I was going to be her husband so I really like the numbers 8/8/8 myself as well.

Hello brother Dennis,

Thank you for the welcome!

I feel like home here at this forum!

Actually, I like watching videos on NDE. Did not they make into a movie about Colton?

I also wrote a book called “From Darkness Into Light: A Journey from Cambodia to America”. It is available through Amazon.

I’m glad ‘8’ has major significant in your life...praise the Lord!

Yes.... the movie about Colton was extremely well done.

I read both versions of the book and saw the movie with my wife and daughter.

I read that when the movie was released in England it got far more attention than the latest from Johnny Depp that was released at the same time. It is so wonderful to see something so basic so simple drawing skeptics up out of unbelief.

I was an Atheist from the time I was eight until I was thirteen (1972), and I am so glad that I heard the gospel presented in a way that I could understand it.
