Jesus, My Hope and Provider
Jenny Wong accepted Christ in year 2000 when DUMC was still located at Sea Park. In 2001, together with her husband, they were baptised. Jenny is now 74, and in recent years, she has experienced God’s tangible presence in her life and would like to testify of His goodness.
In 2019, Jenny’s husband had a stroke, and her daughters decided that it would be best for him to be cared for at a nursing home. In late 2020, her eldest daughter mentioned that they would be renovating their house, and decided that it would also be best for Jenny to be sent to the nursing home. However, she was not comfortable with the idea as she felt she was still very much independent.

It was a very troubling environment and within 2 months, she moved to a new location. At the new place, she soon found out that there were drug activities going on.

and became so stressful, and she often found herself crying out to God for help. She felt abandoned and hopeless.
In January 2022, the landlady told her that she was no longer welcomed in the house anymore and made false accusations about her. She even threatened to involve the police if Jenny refused to move out. It was during this time that Jenny shared her plight with her CG (cell group) members. A CG member soon connected Jenny with an agent who shared some photos of the rooms they had. Jenny was able to sign the necessary contract and agreement the next day. Within just one week, she was able to shift all her belongings and was settled in the new room.
“I truly thank God for His provision and blessing. Everything just went so smoothly and in such a short period of time. God is truly amazing and I really consider this a miracle. The new place is so much better and I feel so much more at peace. My CG members constantly pray for me and I am blessed to have them journeying with me”
Jenny’s testimony today is of a loving, personal God who never forsakes us. He cares for our needs deeply and is a prayeranswering God. She knows that no matter what, He is there for her.
