Following Jesus in Malaysia

Meet Luke

Boy on a scooter

Luke follows Jesus Christ by praying and comforting others. He loves to pray with his family. One time, he was having a hard time with his Chinese spelling test. When he practiced and prayed for help, he was able to finish it.

He also loves to go to Primary and learn about what Jesus Christ taught. He says, “Following Jesus makes me very happy.” He likes to serve his mom by helping with chores and by taking care of his younger brother when they play outside. He says, “When I help others, I feel warm in my heart.”
